   Quite simply some of our food was cold upon arrival, one side was completely forgotten, and another meal came out 10 minutes after the others. We had to ask twice for simple condiments. The food was just ok. Brunch was a huge disappointment.

   Food is fine, not super exciting. And it’s wildly expensive for what it is. I paid $29 for a salad with maybe 3oz of salmon on it. The salad alone was $17, which is crazy for simple greens and a little bit of Gorgonzola. I will say the cocktail prices are pretty reasonable. But overall, it’s just too pricey.

   We had a lovely dinner on the covered patio. Holden was an amazing server and provided excellent recommendations from the wedge salad to the ravioli. We have been to Cafe Rule a number of times and always have an excellent experience. Food is consistently good, service is excellent & ambiance always perfect. A great place to dine and we will be back!

   Always an enjoyable experience at Cafe Rule, especially for me, as I am dairy and gluten free! My chef was amazing and my server excellent!

   We had reservations for 7:15 pm we were seated and greeted promptly by our server. Joshua, our server, was friendly, knowledgable and helpful and had a good idea of the chef's recommendations right off the top of his head pur order was accurate and overall we had a wonderful evening

   had I known for mothers day it would have been a brunch buffet at dinner time I would not have gone. I cannot comment on the normal food but the buffet was terrible and at $35 each I was expecting better it ruined my entire mother's day dinner with my wife. I could have gotten better food and service at waffle house. They had prime rib that was RAW and salmon that looked like it had been sitting for hours. Those were the high end items on the buffet the rest was eggs waffles and French toast. they did a have a hotel quality omelet station. the service was almost non excitant we order a second glass of wine that never showed at the table but had to be removed from the bill. I would not eat here again if they have a buffet but I can not comment on a normal night. The regular menu all sounds great but they did not have the regular menu only the buffet .

   We are so sorry you were not informed of the buffet when making your reservation. We are disappointed to know you had an experience that did not reflect our high standard of hospitality and food. We hope you will give us another try. Will you reach out to me directly? We would love to offer you a token of our apology. I hope to hear from you.

    The staff was great and super friendly; however, the food options on the buffet for Mother’s Day were horrible. Everyone at my table left hungry.
