  The food was excellent, the service was not great initially but improved greatly. My only negative comment is the lack of air conditioning. The dining area was uncomfortably hot even later into the evening. I can't imagine what the temps were like in the kitchen. Four of my group had the rack of lamb and it was cooked a beautiful medium rare and it was paired with a mash potato and we'll cooked vegetables. All of the courses were really good and the experience was great other than the heat.

  WOW! Amazing food, well planned and prepared dinner menu. Went there on a whim and I sure am glad I did. We even got an impromptu conversation with the chef after our meal was done...very unique experience.

  We Love this place and have dined here many times with other couples , all who were blown away with the food. I have dietary restrictions to additives, but have no issues eating here as Dario serves real food. Our servers have always been wonderful, some more than others. The plates are wonderfully presented, with a constantly changing variety of imaginative dishes. The set meals and package dinners are a good deal. I prefer to support a small business owner than a boring chain serving commissary items.
  After reading all the reviews, most complaints occur as a result of interaction with Dario . He lives up to the stereotype of the temperamental chef. I have experienced this myself. He can be a big charmer or ruin your evening with his curtness. He fails to see how he comes across and it's doubtful he's going to realize this, and work on his people skills. He goes through staff quickly, so I believe those who say he yells at his staff, but I only heard raised voices. My advice would be if he comes to your table, keep it short and complimentary , if you wish to leave with great memories of your evening. He has burst my bubble on one occasion when he was rude, suddenly , after what was a nice conversation. We have had wonderful chats both in the cafe and on the phone . His job is to create delicious food, and that is what he does. Just don't poke the bear.

  We returned to Cafe Dario again tonight, it was the place we came on our first-date 8 years ago. I wanted to impress and it paid off. We've been coming back every chance we get. This year he and I got married. Cafe Dario's is a very special place for us and they always deliver clever and sophisticated options.
  
  The atmosphere and the service is perfect compliment to an incredible 5 course dinner at a very reasonable cost.
