   The service was amazing! We made reservations to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had to change the time due to being caught out on Point Reyes on a beautiful day They were so kind and accommodating, not only for the time change but for special dietary needs in our group. They were very personable and very attentive! The food was great too. I would definitely recommend!

   We were able to get reservations for Valentine’s Day the night before. The reviews didn’t look bad, so we gave it a shot. Overall, it was a decent dinner. The ambiance isn’t “fancy” but it’s not bad. I do have a couple critiques: Being the second couple seated and the place was empty I figured we would have very attentive service, which was not really the case. The young man serving us must’ve been relatively new, just inexperienced. He took forever to come take our food order and didn’t make eye contact with us, even though we were pretty much his ONLY table. We were given a semi-fixed valentines 3 course dinner for $75. We found out later we COULD have ordered from the regular menu, which they were offering people seated after us. The food was tasty, but for $75 I would have expected a little nicer presentation and better side dishes (pretty plain asparagus and potatoes) with my Filet Mignon — which, by the way, I don’t think was a filet mignon. They have a distinct shape and cut, and this steak was much thinner than a typical filet. Thst said, it was tasty. My wife’s dessert choice was wrong, but they comped her wine - and the desserts were pretty good.

   Spent NYE at Cafe Villa with a large group. Food was great, as well as the cocktails. Service was outstanding !! Thank you Cafe Villa. We live right down the street so it’s great to support the local businesses.

   Food was very good, service was good but could be better , The cook kept pounding on something I think he was tenderizing some meat but it was very loud and distracting. Every one was very nice and profesional, I don't think I will go back there as there are other places with about the same prices and less distraction,

   Great burgers and well made cocktails. Very slow service though on drinks (we got our food before we got our cocktails) and this is the second time in a row that has happened here. Noise level in the restaurant area was overwhelming even with only 2 other tables occupied. Something about the acoustics just doesn't work well in that space.

    A neighborhood gem offering a lovely menu of well priced options. We never leave hungry or disappointed.
