    Our server was wonderful , kind and great . The Copper Cafe was very very busy and very noisy . Very packed for Christmas Day . The turkey on bread with gravy and mashed potatoes was delicious though . Would not recommend for Christmas Day as it is just too packed and the parking lot is over flowing by 12. 30 midday . A note : please Copper Cafe do not place your glasses ‘ lip side down ‘ down on the tables when you set them . This is very unhygienic.

    Wonderful Christmas lunch, with all the Madonna old school vibe. Hadn’t been here since I worked as a maid here in the 70’s. Looking forward to having our slice of vanilla raspberry white chocolate cake tonight with leftovers from lunch.

    Excellent Christmas Eve dinner and exceptional service. We enjoyed our dinner and drinks and even indulged in a piece of the lemon coconut cake. Everything was delicious. We actually went back this morning for breakfast and had waffles and bacon and eggs with the homemade biscuit and again everything was yummy and delicious. Highly recommend visiting the Copper Cafe for Christmas or anytime of the year.

    Christmas Eve late lunch a The Copper Cafe was excellent! The servers were quick and fast considering how busy the cafe was. The food was served quickly and was delicious! This is our second year eating at the cafe for Christmas Eve and we’ll make it a tradition going forward.

    Service was excellent, food was tastey, and the Copper Cafe's Christmas ambiance was festive. Prices were typical of a tourist destination but overall, worth it.

    We left before ordering the main course. In our opinion not worth the money. We were a party of 5 and there for our sons 17th Birthday.
