"we moved to florida and wanted to get a good NY pizza before we go and my friend found this place, he took a quick disc and came to home raving about it! So we ordered the Wednesday Sicilian cake special, oh young it was one of the best I ever had! it was very lit not too thick the sose is delicious I like extra sosse perfect amount cheese, the crust was crispy, but glowed as a spring! I don't know how they did this! Something with the diligent is a secret! They can taste the fermented flavor on a good wise when they know about the teig making. they know what they do! I like it better than I"

"my mom and I shared the “The Reel Catch”. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The perfect choice for 2 people. She got a lobster tail, I got crab legs. We split 2 lbs of shrimp. We enjoyed it and had leftovers.Service: 1/5 our server was not very attentive or hospitable. She mumbled a lot and we finished our entire meal without ever having her check on us. I could understand if it was busy, but it was a Tuesday afternoon and there was only one other family in the restaurant. The manager had to personally ask her to bring us more napkins.Atmosphere: not very upbeat. Music was painfully agonizing. The overall vibe was dim and unexciting.At the end of the day, I took 2 trains, 1 ferry and a city bus and my visit was simply not impressive. But at least we enjoyed our food, so shout out to the kitchen staff. Unfortunately happy hour only applies if you sit at the bar. Wouldn’t visit this location again because an experience is more than just good food!"

"We came here the day after New Year's since our usual pizza place was closed. We ordered a large traditional cheese pizza for takeout, and it was ready in 30 minutes and still hot. The pizza looked decent and had a delicious aroma. Unfortunately, it was only average at best. The pizza sauce had a strong vinegar flavor that made it taste sour. A good bite of pizza should have a nice balance of bread, sauce, and cheese, but that wasn't the case here. It felt like they just scattered cheese and sauce unevenly across the pizza. I'm not sure why they prepared it this way, especially for a traditional cheese pizza. The crust was quite dry and below average as well. I'm not sure if this place is known for their specialty pizzas, but their traditional cheese pie left a lot to be desired."

"The staff here is fantastic, and the owners are incredibly kind. We always enjoy our time at CAFE GOURMAND, and the music adds to the atmosphere. It’s also a very family-friendly place! I highly recommend it for a night out, a family dinner, or any special occasion. If you're planning a party, it's best to book in advance, as they get quite busy—especially on weekends. The restaurant is cozy and not very large, which adds to its charm. Thank you for having us last night; it was absolutely superb!"

"The food was great. We started with the lobster Flatbread. We both love lobster, and the Flatbread was excellent. We ordered filet mignon and Chilean Seabass for main course. My partner loved the filet mignon, and it was perfectly done. I like the Chilean seabass. It was very good. I don't want anyone to think it wasn't good. It was excellent. I was just not fond of the sauce. The sauce was excellent but it just was not my type of sauce. They had the same sauce on the steak and seabass. We has cheesecake for dessert. It was great. The presentation of all the dishes was delicious. Overall I found the whole experience excellent. I would definitely go again."
