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.

We had a pleasant meal with friends Saturday evening. The food was excellent and the portions generous. However, we found the waiter to be intrusive. We felt rushed into ordering. There were a number of empty tables so we were not delaying any other patrons. And the waiter removed our wine glasses before we were finished. We know he's been there for a long time but someone needs to remind him of the type of service expected at a lovely restaurant like Cafe on the Green.

We had a corporate real estate team holiday dinner last night. The room was beautifully decorated for the holiday season, and the soft holiday music was the perfect touch. As always, the service, drinks, and food were absolutely wonderful! Thank you, Cafe on the Green for a lovely evening!

Good food and great attentive service. Everything was served professionally and the waiters never rushed us. When my son's filet was overcooked they fired a new one immediately and it was perfect! Not many restaurants are open on Thanksgiving and we appreciate the price fixe menu options, wine and service.

Took my wife and mother-in-law here for Thanksgiving dinner. Apparently was not assigned one waiter but they must’ve been pooling tips because several waiters came over and asked the same questions over and over. As far as the food was concerned it was not what I was expecting. The turkey dinner was so so that both my wife and mother-in-law did not like that it was sliced into very thick slices almost like steak. The overall experience was fairly disappointing. I was expecting something Much better especially for the price.
