Ten of us dined at Cafe of Love on Saturday night (with a reservation for 6:30). The food is excellent. Now for "the rest"...we were so packed, no one could get to the "wonderful bread & cheese buffet". We had to ask for water and butter for the sample bread brought by the staff. We all had appetizers, entrees, wine, coffee and some dessert. We ate our courses AS THEY CAME FROM THE KITCHEN, but were told to move along (as our bill was paid) because others were waiting for an hour for our table(s). Cafe cannot be all things to all diners on a busy Saturday night!
