We usually like going to our neighborhood restaurant on Richter golf course but Valentines Day is not the night to come!. Terrible table near a door. We waited 2 hours for dinner to be served. The penne vodka was served in a bread dish and the portion was so small. Our food was cold and we hardly saw our server. Never Again!. Very disappointed. I was hoping it would have been a better experience for a special night!

been going here for years and the food and service has always been good. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile to welcome you. The views are great (especially if you like looking out over a golf course). Can get a little pricey but then, good food doesn't come cheap.

We love Cafe on the Green for gatherings with friends and families when we're in town (as we moved away from the area.) Owner Tracey Kydes goes out of his way to make everything right. His staff is hard working and friendly. Great food, food coupled with attentive service from the staff. Excellent team work from the front of the house back to the kitchen. Solid value prop and the dining room is spacious enough to enjoy conversation without it getting too loud. We visited on New Years Day 2025...very pleasant experience (as usual!)

We went on Christmas Eve, served from a special menu, which was advertised. We saw our waiter Once to take our order and Once when we paid the bill.... Furthermore, we had a plethora of people waiting on us. It was unique/different, only to see our waiter and the Beginning and Finish. The FOOD WAS SUPERB!

This restaurant never fails to deliver fine food, great service and a reasonable price. The only problem was the noise level was up due to the closeness of the tables due to Christmas Eve dinner.
