    The Valentine in Paris Dinner was lovely, with a selection of exceptional wines. It truly felt like an evening in Paris.

    The restaurant manager remembers my specific requests during the booking on OpenTable, she served us herself and made it a very pleasant experience. The owner of the restaurant was around and had a friendly chat with us, told us about the story how his wife started this restaurant. He mentioned that there is a plan to open the second floor and they would like to turn it into a greenhouse, I'm looking forward to having afternoon tea in the greenhouse next year. Cafe Poetes is a gem!

    tea at Cafe Poetes is just a delight. I always feel transported to a European street instead of hustling mid town I do feel the price point is high---a place for special outings

    The food is not that’s good and it’s overpriced! I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
