    Ok, so this is probably a peculiar review. I ate over the road but actually wished I ate here at Cafe Grande!

    The friends I was with tried to take me here but it was simply too popular (noon on a Sat) and so we erroneously went directly over the road.

    However, I asked them how many stars they would give this place if they were reviewing it and they agreed it was a 4 star breakfast place. Well, there you go...I hope to be able to review it first hand but wanted to help someone avoid the mistake I made.

    A tip though...get there early or just hang out and wait!

    We went here on a whim for dinner on saturday and it was great. When we arrived, they were full up, but the lovely waitress took my number and called me within half an hour to advise that a table was ready for us.
    The food is bistro style. I had seafood bisque, which was fantastic, then grilled swordfish on a bean cassuolet. The fish was tasty and perfectly cooked, but the cassuolet was disappointing. It more resembled a tinned bean salad than a cassuolet. However, my companions' dishes were all wonderful.
    Prices are reasonable too. We each had a glass of house wine, one white, one red and one rose. All were pretty rough, so we'll have to move up the wine list next time!
