" Splendid dining experience! The French onion soup was heavenly, and the hanger steak was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was warm and inviting. I have nothing but good things to say about Cafe Degas. This is a place I will most certainly return to and recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Cafe Degas! The food was phenomenal, from the escargot to the desserts, everything had a homemade feel. The staff created a friendly atmosphere, and we appreciated their insightful suggestions on the wine. Our only complaint was about the noise levels, which sometimes interfered with a pleasant conversation. Still, an excellent dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was lovely, but overall service was slow and disorganized. Our server forgot one of the appetizers we ordered. While I loved the ambiance and décor, it was unfortunate that we had to wait a long time for everything. With some tweaks to the service, this could be an excellent restaurant. I would likely give it another chance but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated our anniversary at Cafe Degas! The atmosphere was incredibly romantic—perfect for a special occasion. I particularly enjoyed the grilled octopus as an appetizer and the duck entrée. The service was professional and friendly. There wasn’t anything distracting during our meal. We’ll definitely be back to make more memories here. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Cafe Degas left me with mixed feelings. While the overall aesthetic of the restaurant is enchanting and transports you to France, the food didn't quite live up to the hype. I ordered the lamb, which was decent but lacked strong flavor. Service was attentive but I was disappointed by how long it took for our meal to arrive. Overall, I might give it another try; perhaps I just chose the wrong dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a birthday dinner, everything went great. The table was lovely and our server was very nice. Every dish we ordered was spot-on—definitely recommend their desserts! If you're looking for a relaxed dining experience with excellent quality, you can't go wrong here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful little spot with great food. The brunch menu is particularly extensive and delicious! The croissant French toast was a perfect mix of sweetness and fluffiness. Service was diligent, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. Only flaw was the need for better parking options. Definitely a return visit is in our plans! " (*Curated Review*)
