    Our server was lovely and our table was ready as we requested, which was appreciated as our son is temporarily using a wheelchair and the restaurant had left a seat open to accommodate the chair. The service was cheerful and knowledgeable, and our entrees were wonderful—the gnocchi, veal parmigiana and rigatoni bolognese all were delicious. Well prepared meals in a lovely environment, with absolutely no pretension.!dining here is a delight!

    John was awesome from the time we sat down until we left. Christy who is my normal server which I love dearly had no room so I couldn’t have her made a point to come see me and checking on me. I now have a second person if Christy is unavailable. Thank you John for taking such good care of us.

    Our family of vegetarians/vegans enjoyed a Christmas Eve early 4pm dinner upstairs overlooking the street---such a great table! Although there is usually only one veg/vegan main option offered, the veg sides we ordered as one meal were deliciously-seasoned, perfectly-cooked and yummy (brussels sprouts, cauliflower and french fries). The vegan offering on the main menu of shitake and wild rice was unique and possibly the best vegan entree I have ever had at Cafe Navarre. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful with menu options we could eat and suggesting adjustments chef could make, and attentive at a perfect level. Wines were great; my vodka cocktail was tasty but seemed a little light on the vodka. A very pleasant experience as always at Cafe Navarre :)

    The food is always phenomenal. Service is wonderful. It can get a bit noisy as the restaurant fills up. Overall, I always recommend LaSalle Grill!
