California Cafe

Table for Six had an event at California Cafe. We had really, really had a good time here. I would remember this restaurant to anyone. Every one was so nice, helpful and especially friendly.

Great Place!

I have been to California Cafe several times and I always receive good food and good service. My husband and I even had our Rehearsal Dinner here of which they were extremely accomodating and offered wonderful service and dishes for a large group of 40 people (a majority of people ordered the filet mignon and everyone received it hot and impeccable).
Sometimes the service can be spotty but the food is always right on target. Last time I was there, a waiter assistant served us the Three Way starter we ordered and upon placing the plate down, had 1/3rd of the food slide right off the plate and on to the table. He apologized, walked away, and didn't return. Strange but we didn't argue and the food was still good.
Their calamari is excellent! Served with a sweet sauce and never rubbery. They offer plenty of meat options as well as seafood and vegetarian. Their menu (and mixed drinks) change often which makes it very fun to frequently revisit. Over the past holiday they offered a Sangria with apple and cinnamon as well as a pomegranate margarita. Excellent!
You owe it to yourself to visit this restaurant several times throughout the year.

I've enjoyed Cal Cafe over the past 10 years on many occasions. Sometimes for business meetings in the bar, for lunch, banquets and a few times for dinner. The food has fluctuated between good and average. The current chef seems to know what's going on because the the last few times I have been to lunch were banquets and what I thought would be another rubber-chicken experience. Not so.....I was impressed with the salmon and the chicken dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient.

The menu looked impressive, but what a huge disappointment. Food was cold and overcooked. The service was slow and unattentive. The bar failed on at least four occasions with three different customers to be able to pour a simple Martini! California Cafe used to be one of my favorite restaurants...too bad it just a faded memory now...

I have been here several times and am always impressed. the butternut squash soup is incredible, they serve wild salmon and have fun and healthy drinks. Some of thier dishes have a slight asian flare, however if that is not your thing there is plenty on the menu for you as well. They even hand out recipes!
