Dined at Escafe with friends. It was very lively and had a great crowd and atmoshpere. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a good time, great food, in a great location without spending a ton of money.

After having pleasant meals here three times, the fourth time resulted in the only case of food poisoning I have ever experienced. Once I overcome the present aversion I now have to tofu stuffed acorn squash I might return to Escafe. Their menu is very creative and offers many vegetarian alternatives. Specials daily result in a varied menu (yes, the squash was a special). The tainted food might have been the green tea cheese cake, which was unremarkable, slightly dry and served with frozen not fresh berries. Service is of erratic quality, ambience funky and appealing but perhaps not real clean. Prices are not moderate, which makes the other shortcomings less forgivable. However, the imaginative and menu and the success of most dishes is undeniably alluring...

This place has great bar food and a very decent selection of draft beer. Happy hour is hands down the best deal in town with $3.50 appetizers and really cheap drinks. (4:30-7, M-F) The service is always good and you can't beat the value!

There's nothing better than going out to a place, having two appetizers and a couple of beers and leaving for less than $15. Plus, its a great atmosphere and the people there are a lot of fun.

Guiness lovers! Pack your Red Socks hat, pool cue and appetite! (But leave the darts and rugrats at home.) We have been there twice and have had great and interesting times. The first time I had Tartleton(?) sandwich, she had the veggie sandwich and ...
