"I made a reservation for an early dinner this evening to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. She had never been to Cafe Central, but she had heard me talk about it several times. We were seated promptly and served our water and tea. We decided on two appetizers: the Grilled Portobello Mushroom and the Grilled Fried Calamari. Both were excellent and the spicy sauce on the calamari was great. For dinner, my daughter ordered the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The presentation was spot-on gorgeous on both entrees. The duck was cooked to an absolutely perfect medium rare and the fish was easily among the best I've ever had. We each sampled the other's entree and agreed that both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, the server brought out a wonderful Tres Leches Cake with a Birthday sparkler atop a specially decorated plate. He graciously offered to take a couple of Birthday photos, which I will treasure. The food, service, and ambience all made for a wonderful birthday celebration."

"Been traveling to Bedford for years and this was my first time trying Cafe Escadrille. I feel foolish now for never coming here before. I was thoroughly satisfied with my app and entree. Started out with the deviled eggs and was a nice start. But the prime rib was the show stopper! It’s now one of my top 10 PR’s in the country. Will be my go to every time I over night in Bedford. Was cooked to perfection! And was a great price for the amount of food I was served. I highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses and avoid chains!"

"No valet parking, which is uncommon for Federal Hill restaurants. Out of calamari at 4:30 pm. Also out of the dinner I had ordered of a somewhat limited menu. Asked to share a salad which they split and charged us $4 to do so. Overall a disappointing experience"

"I have a gluten allergy, and this is really the happiest thing I've ever eaten before my allergy develops. This restaurant is so authentic and almost everything on the menu can be made gluten-free. Michelle (our server) took care of us from the very beginning. They make gluten-free pasta in the house. My pasta was the most delicious meal I've had for years. This is an absolute must for everyone with a gluten allergy. I'll come back as soon as possible."

"we arrived very early on Thursday (11 o'clock) . there were no one when we arrived, then only a few patrons in the bar. consider it, there was no amount, service was not as good as we expected. I think the server would have been a bit more attentive. the food was great! that was my first time here. I noticed that the room in the back would hold about 45-50? I want to talk to someone about booking for a big group for lunch in the future."

"This was our fourth visit and unfortunately our experience was nothing like the previous three times. New York strip was tough and just not all that enjoyable. Coulette waygu was tough and flavor was off. Must have been an off night. Apps were amazing and sides with dinner were delightful. Still tipped 20% because the wait staff has no control over quality of the food. Service was on point and personality was excellent. Certainly not worth the $411 I paid. Likely will take a break from TJ Highlands for a bit."

"Absolutely beautifully plated, clean palate pleasing dishes! Chef Massimo is the Best!! He brings out the most wonderful flavors and textures in all the dishes he prepares. He has a very very nice wine list. His dining area is very nice and beautifully decorated with wall waterfalls and nicely dimmed lighting. Very romantic. His staff is absolutely wonderful, very attentive, and friendly. Donna is a very wonderful host, always making you feel very welcomed. Thank you for making our evening Outstanding."

"The food was very good. Unfortunately, the cold design from the front door made the entire culinary experience cool. We asked the hostess to move our table away from the door, but it didn't help much. The illuminated fireplace, while it was visually appealing, was not a heat. Server was timely and helpful."

"I sat at the bar (from myself on the business). the bartender/server, adina, was fantastic! it was knowledgeable, attentive and socially. In addition to the excellent oysters, I was torn a halibut caponata special between 3 menu points. she recommended that heal. I've learned to consult a server for a long time and she was soouo right! it looked and tasted amazing! that is not exaggerated! the young sat next to me, asked me and the server what it was because it was so beautiful! the soulman on the healed and the aromen of the caponata were spot on! when they think about coming here, they stop thinking and come here for a great culinary experience!"

"Our second visit here and tried the Sushi this time. It was very good! We will definitely be back, but it will be hard to decide what to order; Italian or Sushi!! We like the atmosphere of the restaurant also, nice mellow music in the background and we understand there will be entertainment some evenings! Also, valet parking Friday and Saturday nights really helps at this busy area of Lakewood."

"I have to say the food and the service were excellent. It 's too bad that we were seated in an anti room off the second floor main dining room, two feet from the elevator. At least 4 or 5 parties came on and off that elevator which was a complete distraction and disturbance. Funny the maitre d came around to ask how things were and he said, romantic, Huh? Farthest thing from it. I must have a stamp on my forehead that says, seat me at the worst table in the restaurant, because it keeps happening to me. It truly ruined my entire experience, and it didn 't matter how good the food or service were. All of the energy and liveliness were happening in the first and second floor Main Dining rooms and the bar, not in a small room sequestered up a few steps and behind glass, meant for private parties with a handful of tables in there. The acoustics were awful and there was a loud table of young girls sitting in there, so it was deafening , not to mention depressing. Not the dining experience I was hoping for with that price tag."
