    Most of the food was delicious! The stuffing was very dry and the baked stuffed shrimp was overcooked. There was an issue with our table being very wobbly so we were moved to anyone which was not much better

    The Mother’s Day Buffet at Cafe Escadrille was wonderful! The food was delicious and with a very good variety of options, from salads through truly delicious desserts. Our server was very attentive, the ambiance was very nice, and we were all raving about how great it was when we left.

    My family and I have been going to the Café Escadrille Buffet for most of our holidays, for more than a decade. They are always consistent, and usually everything is delicious. I'm a lover of sweets and can't say enough about the dessert buffet, it's absolutely AMAZING! The dinner itself has a good variety. For Easter they had Lamb, Ham, Prime Rid, Stuffed Chicken, Salmon, and Stuffed Shrimp along with green beans, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, squash, rice and mashed potatoes. The only side I had this year was mashed potato, which was delicious, but it would have been nice to see sweet potato, turnip, carrots, maybe some mac n cheese. Just some different options would be good. My only issue was with the salad this year. I love their Caesar salad, and always have some, but this time, unfortunately, the croutons were stale. The only other change I would make, is to have the coffee station in a separate space. Right now, they have it at the end of the dessert table, and this year was quiet, so it wasn't so bad, but on Thanksgiving having it there really holds up the line for the dessert station. I want to say don't go, because reservations are nearly impossible to get, so I want less people to go...HA! But honestly, it's delicious and if you are looking for a really amazing meal, I highly recommend it!

    The holiday buffets are always delicious and very well run. They are organized and it's so easy to be served from the staff at the buffet. It's easy to get in and out quickly or leisurely, if that's your desire. I highly recommend the buffets at the Escadrille for Easter, Mother's Day, and Thanksgiving.

    The folks at Cafe Escadrille did an amazing job at the Thanksgiving Buffet. This was our first time not having holiday at home. We were checked in on time and seated at a comfortable table with plenty of room. The servers and buffet attendants were friendly and attentive. We'll go back next year!
