Came here for tea and sweets. Amazing! Next time I will need to actually sit down for a meal. But the cafe does not disappoint. The sweets are fresh and so delicious!
Good Restaurant, Bad Waiter. A friend and I went to Cafe Selmarie because we had been there a few times before and loved the food. We went there on Thursday, June 13. 2013. I believe the server’s name was Paul. He was our server the last time a couple friends of mine and I were there. This time he seemed preoccupied and was very rude. We ordered our drinks, a salad and our entrees. I wanted a vegetable instead of potatoes and my friend wanted the sweet potatoes hash instead of mashed potatoes. He repeated the order and said potatoes so we assumed he knew it was sweet potatoes. When the entrees came out, there were mashed instead of sweet potatoes. Our server came over and we told him about it and he said that was not what we ordered. He was upset and surly but said he would get the sweet potatoes. Ten or 15 minutes went by and we had finished the entrees. We tried to find him to tell him we did not want it anymore but couldn’t find him. Needless to say, he brought it out and we told him we didn’t want it. He proceeded to tell us that we were problems the last time we were in the restaurant and it was the same now. He told us we couldn’t make up our minds. He stormed away and came back with our check. We wanted dessert and coffee but he never even bothered to ask us. If you are having a bad day, do not take it out on your customers. We asked for the manager who, long story short, seemed to not even care. We didn’t expect her to comp our dinner, but a dessert to take home or a discount on our next meal at the restaurant would have been nice. However, the food this time was not as good as the last time we were there. We would have tried the restaurant again (definitely with a different waiter), but not anymore. We will never go back. There are other good restaurants in the area that know how to treat customers that only asked to change their potatoes to something else. Good Riddance!
Went for brunch. Had eggs Benedict…awesome. My friend had the French toast and licked her plate clean. Be sure to pick up some pastries and take them home as a treat later!
Great sweets is how this place got it’s start but now also has brunch, lunch and dinner. Simple good health comfort food. Great place to grab a bit or simple dinner and wine. Nice staff and a French feel.
Yes, they _ARE_ open. ‘Eclectic’ menu. Food… So-so. Serving beer, wine, brunch. It’s the kind of place that, if you are walking by and you are hungry, you could stop in for a bight. I wouldn’t make plans to come here, but if I was strolling by…
Best cafe on North Side. Best soups in the city bar none. Superb atmosphere, only problem, a little loud due to hard wood floors. Service excellent, food excellent. Prices reasonable if a little high esp for wine & beer. Altogether a place you would be v foolish to miss – especially in the warmer months – outdoor seating is great. Also, the Sacher Torte is worthy of being your last meal, if you ever get to that point with the chair.
