At the urging of my mother, we just went to Cafe Fiore for ladies' night. To begin with, we wanted to dine Alfresco and chose a table outside. We were brought water right away as well as two menus. There was no mention that it was ladies' night, and we had to determine that their happy hour menu is, in fact, their ladies' night menu as well. We both decided on one of their $6 martinis. I ordered the French martini, and my mother ordered the Fiore cosmo. Both of them were well prepared, meaning they were not too weak or too strong. Spot on with their measurements. We were then brought salad. This was a welcomed addition as their menu does not indicate that happy hour/ladles' night menu also includes salad with their entries. The thing that stumped us was there were two of us, yet we were brought three salads. After looking at each other puzzled, we decided that it didn't make sense to have it go to waste and split the additional salad between ourselves. Garlic knots- my mom had been raving about how good these were, which is a pretty big deal considering she is not a person who loves bread. The garlic knots are made fresh, and were served warm. They were quite tasty. Only one thing I would improve and that would be to serve a side of chimichurri to dip it in. However, that was not a deal breaker as not all places serve garlic knots that way. With that being said, I was impressed with their flavor. Our entrees were brought out relatively soon. I ordered the chicken Fiore, and my mother ordered the shrimp scampi. She said the scampi was good, but wished she had ordered the chicken Fiore instead, which she normally does. The chicken Fiore was large in portion size and included pappardelle underneath. The only downside of my meal was the pappardelle. It felt like it had been overcooked or sitting there under a heater until my mom's meal was ready as the pasta was stuck together. The chicken was pounded out thin and was tender. Not dry at all. The vodka sauce on it was your typical vodka sauce. We were asked if we wanted dessert and were told the dessert options. There was no specific menu to look at, nor any prices indicated. By that point, we had been full since the portions are large. We decided to forgo dessert and order another round of cocktails. Once again, the martinis were spot on and consistent. One piece of advice to the restaurant that I would give would be for trying to improve inconsistencies in service. I noticed that many people do work there and they have runners to bring out salads or bread as well as runners who bring water. After being there for almost 2 hours, no one returned to refill water in our cups. We had only one cup of water the entire time we were there, and even our waitress did not ask if we needed any more or noticed that our cups had been empty. Our waitress probably had the most room for growth in terms of her service. At some points, she seemed irritated or overwhelmed with the number of tables that she had to serve, which was roughly three or four. She tended to be slower in her service compared to other people. However, her service was not problematic enough that I would not return here. You really do get a lot of value for your money. If anything, I would absolutely return with my girlfriends for happy hour cocktails considering their price point and quality are fantastic.
My fiancé and I got takeout here last night and we were so disappointed. The “garlic” knots didn’t have a single piece of garlic at all. It was almost as if they just tossed them in a ton of oil and cheese. I got the chicken piccata and he got the chicken parm. I don’t know how else to explain the dish other than flavorless. Something was just really missing. We also ordered calamari and it was honestly the worst order of calamari I’ve ever had. It was extremely chewy and tough. I’ve included a picture showing me pulling it and it’s still not coming apart. It felt like I was chewing on rubber bands. I really hope that my review can help the restaurant to change something. We were super excited to try this place and we were left hungry and disappointed. Unfortunately I would not recommend going here.The only reason why I’m giving two stars is because Italian restaurants aren’t typically open on Monday’s.
Ladies night at Cafe Fiore is always a hit! Every Tuesdays, Cafe Fiore has $6 cocktails/wine with amazingly priced apps and entrees. We enjoyed their French Martini, Montepulciano wine, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, house salad with gorgonzola, clam linguini and of course, chicken Fiore are just some of our faves. So good!Recommended dishesLinguine with Clam Sauce, House Salad, Garlic Knots, Grilled Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto, Chicken Fiore
Went for dinner with my friends here and we had a great time. They did not rush us and the service was very good. The food selection offered a variety of dishes and we topped off the evening with cappuccino and a decadent chocolate mousse cakeFood: 4/5
Right when you walk in you get wowed. From seeing the bar on the left and the beautiful decor and tables throughout the place. I had the chicken parm and it was very good not the best but would recommend getting that. The best thing however was their garlic knots. My lord they were very good. Only issues is the service. Service was slow. We waited at least 30 minutes to put in our apps and get drinks.
Sitting here eating left overs, I figured I’d share my thoughts on our experience, food taste just as good warmed up as when it was fresh! My family and I sat in the lounge area and I must say it was extremely busy. However with it being so busy service was very good and you can see all the workers working together. With that said I definitely will be coming back if not dining in I’ll definitely be getting take out for the family and I!
I’m a foodie. I have high expectations for food and service. Cafe Fiore is exceptional. The bread knots are to die for. The main entrees are delicious. The deserts are light but decadent. The prices are right. This place is a gem.Food: 5/5
The food is fantastic. We sat inside near the bar and live crooner. He was great. Oldies but goodies. Get there before 600pm to avoid the dinner rush. Parking can be difficult.Food: 5/5
Highly recommend. Excellent food and service. Can’t say enough. Our server Erica was so nice and personable. It was our anniversary she made it even more special.Food: 5/5
11 hours ago NEW Dine in Lunch $20–30 At this Restaurant, May 20, 2023 Food was delicious according to my family I was with. I only ate the salad no appetite because.. this may Sound, inappropriate for a review, I went to use the restroom, lost my balance, fell because there were no grab handles and the toilet paper holder broke, tried to hold onto the walls, hit my head, may have been a seizure because I out of touch for a bit, my mother had to come and find me because I was gone awhile!! Typical Mom premonition!! Grab bars are a must!! The Young lady that was serving water was so concerned and helpful. Wonderful young girl. Manager wasn’t there, We gave her My sister’s phone number, on my behalf, I was not very coherent after the fall, The manager called my sister and he was totally unconcerned of my fall. He Had no major concerns of a customer falling, asked why did I grab toilet paper holder to hold on as I was falling, turns out it was broken to begin with!! He Asked if I ate, which since i did eat a little, he considered there was no cause for concern on his behalf. Unsympathetic for a manager to not be concerned about my well being!! Had excuses that boosted his restaurant. I hope he puts grab bars in the bathrooms so no one else has this dangerous issue! Wheelchair accessibility The bathrooms are very small, my concern is I hope no one has a wheelchair issue but I had an issue of the bathrooms not being handicap accessible with grab bars, Especially because the two non-wheelchair assessable bathrooms stalls have nothing to hold onto in a case like mine where I fell. Unfortunately there are other handicaps that do not need a wheelchair but do need safety!!! To the ER, no concussion
