Editorial Review for Kafe 421 – by Jennifer Blaise

In Short
A casual, chic vibe is executed by warm, golden walls and table lanterns, plus elegant wine service. A counter facing the front windows caters to single dropping in for a bite or takeout orders. Tables in the front room are close together and fill up quickly with couples, families, young professionals and students. The globe-trotting menu has thin, flaky phyllo pizza topped with tomatoes, herbs and Parmesan. Meat entrees feature a seared rib eye steak.

Insider Tips

Save Money

The reasonable wine list gets even better from 6pm to 9pm, Mon-Wed, when all bottles are half-price.

Where to Sit

Ask for a table in the back room, if you're planning on an intimate evening; the front room stays busy with a full house of guests and others picking up orders.

The Extras

Reasonably priced sandwiches, gyros and burgers are good for lunch. Takeout is also available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

User Reviews for Kafe 421

3 Star Rating: Average

We went to Kafe 421 for an early dinner and we were sat in the back area where it was very cute. We ordered the sampler appetizer that had spanakopita and artichoke dip. The spanakopita tasted like it was microwaved and it was tough...not good. The artichoke dip was very good though. I ordered the eggplant sandwich and soup for my meal. The tomato basil soup was very bland. The sandwich was also very bland and fell apart as it was very sloppy. The bread was like toasted white bread that wasn't strong enough to hold a sandwich like that together. I ordered a side of ranch to dip as it needed something, and even the ranch wasn't good. When the waitress asked how the sandwiches were I told her mine wasn't good. More than half of it was left on my plate. She says "oh." That was it. Not can I get you something else, or anything. My husband liked his sandwich and the artichoke dip so that is why the three stars. I wouldn't go back.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We have eaten here numerous times since the Cafe opened and find each experience better than the last. It doesn't make any difference if it's lunch or dinner the food is always good and the desserts are simply out of this world. If you have questions the staff will quickly satisfy any inquiry. And it doesn't make any difference if there are two or a party the service is tremendous. This is one restaurant I would highly recommend to the most discriminating of tastes.

Pros: Great service
