    We had a delightful dinner. Our food was delicious, as were our cocktails! The prices were excellent based on the quality and quantity. We were dining on a seafood specials night so our 3 course meals were very reasonably priced. The service was very good, attentive not intrusive. All in all we definitely had a 5 star experience!

    I took my elderly neighbor and her niece there for an early dinner. The staff was very helpful in providing assistance on a cold, wintry ice night -- especially when we left. They went out of the way to ensure things went smooth but I'm getting ahead of myself. Inside, they were very accommodating with the seating. We opted for the evening's prix fixe option. Every one of the dishes were excellent and not a regular, boring rendition of those dishes. For the 1st course, the steamed clams and mussels were plentiful. Others in the group had the pork sliders which came as a pair of good size pork sliders that were quite tasty. For the 2nd course, the seafood mixed grill was excellent as was the flat iron steak, which was served on a bed of some type of rice with asparagus -- excellent! The dessert all seemed different, and not run of the mill types, too. We tried the flourless chocolate tort which was good. The one area that could be improved, I would say, is the cappuccino we had at the end. It was a little too watery and not the best I've had. Despite that, it was still overall a 5 star experienced all around.

    We had an excellent meal last night!! Our server was friendly immediately brought us olives, then olive oil and bread and made sure our experience was perfect. Vegetarian friendly, and the spaghetti squash puttanesca was outstanding. Although listed as a tapas item it could definitely be a main course. Also ratatouille and, vegetarian paella and kale bruschetta were delicious.

    We really enjoyed our dinner we had there. Our waiter was amazing. The food was very fresh and came out nice and hot. He made a good wine recommendation.  I messed up on the time of our reservation and we showed up a half an hour late, but they were still able to see us, which was great! We’re looking forward to going back.

    Always a great experience because the food is exceptional, the staff is aware and helpful and we feel as part of a community whenever we engage with the others nearby. Cafe Azafran is one of our go-to places for Mediterranean culinary delights.

    We were taken right on time and escorted to a cozy table for two. Our waiter, Umat, arrived immediately with water & the menu. He was very courteous and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, a great experience.
