They recently got new ownership here. I came for a small group and we all had a nice time and the food was good. Service was great and friendly. I really like the salads. It's not far from the downtown and a good option for the area.

Last night we went for an early 6pm dinner at Cafe Mare. There were some hits, but also some misses. We were seated immediately. Our friendly server greeted us promptly offering us a basket of bread and waters while getting our choice beverages. The bread was inedible. It was thinly sliced and unbelievably stale. When our server returned with our drinks, we ordered the calamari appetizer. It was delicious. The breading was not too heavy and it was not at all greasy for being fried. I would have liked cocktail sauce and opposed to marinara. But it's an Italian restaurant so I get it. For entrees, my bf ordered the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. The fettuccine was cooked well but the Alfredo sauce was thick and clumpy like eating thin oatmeal. The shrimp were over cooked and very tough to eat. I ordered the crepe with butternut squash, walnuts and brown butter sage sauce. It was incredible. The crepe was cooked perfectly and the balance of the squash with the sage sauce was absolutely amazing. For dessert we ordered two americano coffees that came piping hot, the chocolate soufflé and the lemon meringue house made ice cream. Both desserts were fine. Not bad, not great, basically mediocre. Overall, the service was excellent, the appetizer was delicious, one entree was incredible one a total flop and dessert we could have passed on and not known the difference. We'll go back again. But not anytime in the near future.
