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 MoneyThe reasonable wine list gets even better from 6pm to 9pm, Mon-Wed, when all bottles are half-price.
Where to SitAsk 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 ExtrasReasonably priced sandwiches, gyros and burgers are good for lunch. Takeout is also available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

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

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful Kafe 421 was for Valentine's Day. I made a reservation for 7:30 for my date and I. We had a 10 minute wait for our table but there were literally no open tables in the restaurant. Despite our wait, the staff was very friendly and was genuinely concerned with getting us seated quickly and in the area we had requested. Since my date and I went on Valentine's day the restaurant had a special menu featuring things like heart shaped crab cakes, and heart shaped ravioli. Also for Valentine's day the restaurant brought in a musician to play acoustic guitar in the front part of dinning room. The guitar mixed with the subdued lighting and the fresh roses on the table made for an amazingly romantic experience. My date and I shared the crab cake appetizer which was amazing, and we split a bottle of the Angel Tears White wine (also very nice). For dinner my date had the shrimp santorini and I had the chicken fettuccini alfredo. The food was light, had amazing flavor, and the portions were not huge. Our dessert was equally well prepared and fit well with the rest of our dinner. All in all Kafe 421 was better than I could have hoped for and stuck out as one of the few restaurants I have been to in the twin cities that has a friendly welcoming atmosphere and honestly great food. I have had few amazing dinning experiences in the Twin cities especially on such a busy night at such a busy time, but if the staff at Kafe 421 can give me an amazing experience on such a busy night than I am sure they could do just as good on a normal evening. I will definitely be going back!
Pros: Romantic atmosphere, Friendly and attentive wait staff, Flavorful food
