    A dry vanilla cake with lackluster espresso. Not at all an authentic tiramisu.
    Yvette P.

    I came bowling next door and ordered a pizza from Bruno's. The pizza was pretty good for a night of bowling. It's thin crust and the cheese is really good. I came a second time to pick up tiramisu for my husband since it's his favorite especially when we go to Italy. I am however very disappointed in the "tiramisu." It is not authentic whatsoever, so many corners were cut that the identity of this dessert is actually a vanilla cake slice with lackluster espresso grinds on top. I would not even call it a "tiramisu inspired cake" because there is no respect towards the indigenous tiramisu that is deeply cherished by the culture. I love travelling to Italy and am incredibly disappointed in this false identity cake. I was not expecting a perfect tiramisu, but there is no respect here towards the culture and it's very off putting and won't be coming back for the pizza because I'm so disappointed in the dessert.

    So far we've only been there for Fish fries. Compared to other places they seem to have the best value. Jessica us our favorite waitress.

    Food is pretty average. The waitress that I had was a bit bitter to me, but other wise solid consistent food every time I have been there.

    Have been to the actual restaurant a couple of times. I remember it being a good (but not great)…read moreexperience. I was happy to see that they were a vendor at the Waterford River Rhythms concert at the Village Hall Park. They offered a couple of sandwiches. We got one of each. The Italian Beef and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. Both were good. The beef was tender, and so was the chicken. Couple of suggestions. They add the giardiniera into the beef. My preference is to have it available as a condiment, so you can add as little/much as you like. The wrap was large, and stuffed full of chicken, which would think was a good thing, but it could have benefited from having a bit more of the green salad fixings inside. To give it more textures and flavors. Also, they only have one type of potato chip, plain (and boring). How about offering another choice (Sea Salt and Vinegar)? Super nice service, and it's a reasonable value for what you get.

    Came here for all you can eat Easter brunch buffet. It was very busy when we arrived for our 11am…read morereservation. Our table was ready, and we were seated. The variety of food choices was excellent (menu in pics). The staff did a great job of keeping the food filled. Place was decorated very cute for Easter. They did have a sign at hostess stand that if you were a party of 6 or less, you could have your table for 75 minutes. This made the older people I was with kind of "nervous" and worried about the time. The made-to-order omelettes were great. The carved ham had good flavor, but was cold. Everything else i tried was good. Brunch was $45/ person which seems high, but comparatively, seems like an ok price. However, on our party of 5, they added a "large party" charge which was 20% of the bill, which ended up being the tip. We didn't see our server much, but the people clearing dishes from the table did a good job coming around often.

They have multiple large TV's strategy placed so if you want to watch a game it's great for that. They have both high-top and regular height tables with the major regular height. We tried the Pot roast dinner, Mushroom Swiss burger, and the chicken dumplings soup. The soup had excellent flavor and was homemade. Only wish it had more dumplings. The Pot roast dinner came with three large, thick pieces of beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrots. Everything was very good and something that I would order again. One part of burger patty was a little over done but the rest was much better. Ordered medium and it was more medium well but still very tasty and delicious. Our server was amazing and took great care of us. Also got to meet Mike, assistant GM, and really enjoyed talking with him. They have a large parking lot and I believe you can also pull up in your boat. Only recommendation I would have for them is the handicapped parking spaces are on the west side of the entrance and the handicapped ramp is on the east side of the entrance. Would be nice if they were on the same side of the entrance. Highly recommend Doc's on the Fox!

But we weren't in a hurry. My friend had the Denver omelette which she enjoyed. I had the steak and eggs. While the steak was cooked to order, there was a lot of grizzle, so probably more than half of it didn't get eaten. Not sure it was worth the $23. On the upside, the hashbrowns were absolutely perfect! Portions were generous and it's a cute little place. It was quiet with enough parking. I wouldn't order the steak again or make a special trip for Cafe 36, but if you happen to be in the area, it's a decent place for breakfast. FYI: the menu prices are cash, for credit card payments there's a 3.5% up charge. The only mention of this is via a sign at the cash register. Also, alcoholic beverages were on the menu, but not available because they didn't renew their liquor license.

After she brought our drinks she left the table and didn't come back for quite a while. After finally taking our order, we waited for almost an hour before our food came out. When we asked if our food was almost ready, we were told it was about to come out. That was 20 minutes before we received it. The food was good, but definitely not worth the price.
