Disappointed with the service tonight. Two people covered the dining room so there was no follow up on refilling drinks or checking on our satisfaction with the food. Multiple requests for the same thing was unexpected. Typically our experience has been much better so hopefully it was just an off night.

Food, service, atmosphere is outstanding. If you are searching for a “white tablecloth experience” there is none better. We have been dining at cafe on the green for fifteen years and never ever been disappointed. You really should visit.

We usually like going to our neighborhood restaurant on Richter golf course but Valentines Day is not the night to come!. Terrible table near a door. We waited 2 hours for dinner to be served. The penne vodka was served in a bread dish and the portion was so small. Our food was cold and we hardly saw our server. Never Again!. Very disappointed. I was hoping it would have been a better experience for a special night!

been going here for years and the food and service has always been good. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile to welcome you. The views are great (especially if you like looking out over a golf course). Can get a little pricey but then, good food doesn't come cheap.
