Cuisine was excellent and the ambiance was good. Unfortunately, the kitchen was slow although the table service was good. Staff had difficulty handling the holiday dinner.

Beautiful location, food, drinks and service were great. Problem is lack of ventilation in the kitchen. Our hair clothes and everything smelled like we had been at a diner not a classy restaurant.
The Cafe - WesterlyResponded on January 12, 2025
Thank you very much for dining with us last night, and for your feedback. The ventilation issue you mention is something we've become more aware of, especially as we get busier and busier. Finding and implementing the right solution is on our priority list for 2025. When you come back to The Café again for dinner, please make sure to let us know you're here so our management team can introduce themselves, and we can make sure you have an exceptional experience. Thanks again.
