The restaurant is small and lovely. The service was attentive. Food was wonderful. We’ve eaten here many times since they opened years ago and we never mind paying more for a great meal. We were, however, very surprised by the ridiculous increase in their prices. $300 for 2 salads, basket of bread, 2 glasses of wine, 2 entrees and one dessert. It was a special occasion dinner but from now on we may only go for special occasions when the cost is justified

Cafe Juanita never disappoints us. The food and service was amazing. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday (who loves cooking and food). The happiness on her face during the meal was wonderful. Sarah was our server and attentive to every detail and happy to discuss the food and wine with us. It was a wonderful night.
