The Music Cafe

We ate here this mast Sunday about noon and were not impressed with most of our meal.  My sandwich was the Reuben and was good  - based on their menu their strong suit seem to be the sandwiches.  The sides were just OK.

My Mom had a waffle and was not impressed.  It was a dry waffle served on a paper plate with a prepackaged thing of syrup and butter - period.  It felt as if we were across the street at McD's.  When you take a 91 Yo old out for lunch you hope for a more memorable comment that "This is not as good as the places we usually go".

My wife had a salad and it was the saddest looking lettuce that I have ever seen.  Part of a head of lettuce that most of use would not use were prominent.  I asked her about it later and she said that it was her fault - that the last time she had ordered a salad she had also been let down.  

Like many others we love the fact that they can now sell beer etc.  And my wife will continue to use the place as a meeting point for coffee but for anything other than a sandwich I would not return

Went up 2 weeks ago for Jazz night and had a real good time. Enjoyed the band very much. There was a $10 cover charge, which they said went to the band, which is fine with me. They deserved more than that. Yes it is a cozy place but the crowd was very friendly, probably 40 people or so and all the tables were full. All I had was a glass of wine so I can't comment on the food. I will be returning for Jazz night again and would recommend it to all. I'll try the food next time everyone there said it was very good.

Met with some girlfriends here on Tuesday and it turns out if was karaoke night.  It was good to meet Chris and she took great care of us.  The food was really good and there was good variety on the menu.  Had Seafood Bisque and Salad and it was delicious, they served the salad with a housemade blueberry vinaigrette.  The rest of our party had other sandwiches, someone had the Sinatra and it was also good.  I ordered the "Twinbrook Deli Twist" as a to go sandwich for my husband and it was very good and true to the original also.  Anyone who used to get cold cut subs at the Twinbrook Deli and has a craving for the original, this is the place to go!  The coleslaw is homemade and very good.  It was nice to dine here and I enjoyed the karaoke, although it was very loud for such a small place, so we did have a hard time hearing each other talk, but we still all had a good time.  I had a hot hibiscus tea and it was good.  They offer a wide variety of milk shakes and other frozen drinks, smoothies, frappes, as well as hot coffee, lattes, assorted pastries, etc.  They are also now serving beer and wine.  They have some tables in the back on the patio for summer nights and we might try that next time we come.  I would like to come back for Jazz night and make a date of it.  If I do, I will post another review.  All in all a winner and I am looking forward to a return visit.
