   We had a wonderful evening and could not have been more pleased with the service, food, and beautiful location. Looking forward to returning with friends and family.

   The food was great - especially loved the bread, endive salad, mushrooms, and dessert mezze. The main dining room in the back is the best area to be seated- ask for a booth! Gorgeous space and vibey spot but not super loud.

   Cafe Zaffri has a lot of potential. The space is beautiful and unique, creating a great atmosphere. The drinks were a highlight—classic cocktails with subtle twists, and their espresso martini is among the best in the city. However, the vegetarian options were disappointing. There was only one entrée that could be modified to be vegetarian, which felt limiting. As a vegetarian, I don’t want my only option to be just cabbage. That said, the breads and spreads were tasty, and the fried cheese sticks were a nice touch. Service could use improvement—the restaurant was nearly empty, yet it took over 20 minutes just to place our order. I’d consider returning if they expand their vegetarian offerings. Overall, it was a good experience but with room for growth.

   Absolutely stunning space with an incredibly inventive (and delicious) menu - along with stellar service! The bar and kitchen were also super accommodating with my vegan dietary restriction. Highly recommend and cant' wait to visit again soon!

   Cafe Zaffri is a gorgeous restaurant with terrific Mediterranean food and drink. While the staff is perfectly nice and friendly, the service leaves a lot to be desired. It took nearly 20 minutes for us to be greeted with water and menus. This spot is less than a month old, and has a ton of potential. Hopefully communication among the wait staff will be cleaned up in the near future. We plan to give it another try soon!
