"Excellent food and atmosphere, it never disappoints. Would love it to be on the more affordable end, but worth the price for those special occasions :)"

"Noise level was very loud, but to be fair it was Mother's Day and there were a lot of children for that reason. It is not usually that noisy there."

"I have eaten at this restaurant before and have always had a positive experience. We decided to try the brunch buffet for Mother's Day because last year we waited an hour past out reservation time at the place we usually go for Mothers Day and did not want to do that again.
We were seated immediately upon arriving and our drink orders can within 2 minutes. Then we went to the buffet and it was a nice mix of breakfast foods as well as petite tenderloins, chickem, pasta and salads. There was something for everyone and everything I ate was delicious. The kids were free which was also very nice. I would recommend it and I think we will he going back next year for Mothers Day."

"Cafe Trio is a great restaurant to go to for dates or if you want something a little more special. We just went for brunch and I would say that the dishes are either awesome or ok. The flatbread starters are a must. I have gone to Trio just for these and a glass of wine. The french toast and ham and eggs were delicious, but the eggs benedict looked a little sad. The potatoes were burnt and the eggs benedict looked very small to me. I would have preferred eggs benedict from Village Inn. I think Trio is a great place to go to if you know to order."

"Overall a nice experience, they have a beautiful patio and the food was quite tasty. The only thing that was a bit of a negative was the service. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy (we were there for Sunday brunch) it took a few minutes for someone to greet and seat us. Then, once we were seated our server had a hard time getting everything out at the same time. There were 4 of us and we all ordered drinks. 2 of the cocktails came out right away, but the other 2 came out 5 minutes later. 3 of our 4 entrees came out at the same time, but the 4th entree came out 5 minutes later. But, even so I would go back again."

"The food was actually good. But we paid $39 for the Easter buffet and it lacked a lot of selections and several trays were often empty."

"My favorite place for brunch!! Seriously so great! Not bad for lunch. Was the worst experience ever for dinner. Perhaps we just had a horrible server. Our drinks were never refilled, we waited almost 20 min before our server took our order. We were basically ignored. I would definitely go back for brunch, but never again for dinner!!"

"My wife and I have been to cafe trio many times, in fact we had our wedding dinner there. The service has always been fantastic and the food out of this world. Every time we go we have a great experience. The prices are good and the portions are just perfect. We love cafe trio and will recommend them to anyone."
