I can't believe anyone would give this place anything but 5 stars. After hearing ads on the radio for years, I was excited to try it. The ambience is classic and comfy. The menu has everything from sushi to mac n cheese. The service was great with a slight mixup on our check that was easily fixed AND you get an Andes mint with your bill. It's the little things in life for me. Went for a ladies lunch on a Saturday afternoon. No reservation. We were seated immediately and were attended to quickly. Didn't get a cocktail but their specialty drink menu had lots of options. My diet coke was served just as fancy as a cocktail which made it taste really good. Lol I was trying to decide between chicken piccata and chicken cobb and wrap. Went with the wrap with sweet potato fries which were phenomenal IMO.

We've been several times my wife the and kids The food been great service is very quick friendly and great ambience.

Went a few weeks ago for the first time with my two aunties for a late lunch/early dinner/catch up. One of my aunties has celiac so this is one of her favorite restaurants with a lot of gluten free options. Agree with previous posters it is very nice, old school ambience-suburban chic. My aunty made a reservation because it was a Friday and I guess they get busy but it was a sort of in between time so there was a decent amount of folks but not crowded and we were seated right away. All the staff were friendly and kind, especially the waitress who took all my aunty's questions about the gluten free options--it takes a while for her to decide and order. We shared a calamari appetizer that was very good. I got a monte cristo--sandwich, which was a different style than I've had before and very good challah bread. My aunty and I shared the flourless chocolate cake, my gluten free aunty had the sorbet of the day with lots of fresh raspberries both were delicious. Service was very good, the manger also stopped by to check on tables as well, and the ladies room very clean. The prices I think are moderate to high, if you are having an entree instead of sandwich or salad, it will be higher, but overall, I think they are consistent with greater Boston/suburbs pricing. To note, I do not live nearby but I think it is a very nice, solid place to go especially if you have someone with gluten sensitivity issues or celiac in your party.

In many ways, Cafe Escadrille is "old reliable." The food, service, cocktails, and cleanliness are consistently great. It has a slightly nostalgic old school feel to it but remains bright and lively. My favorite menu item is the ahi tuna salad with the dressing on the side. It's unlike any other dressing I've ever had -- a little sweet, slightly mustardy, but tropical and refreshing atop the mountain of greens, fruit, cucumbers and tuna. My fiance loves the lamb tips over Greek salad. We love to mix up our appetizer order among the many offerings. They have an extensive menu with something for everyone and lots of great daily specials. Service is polite, fast, and attentive. Great spot that is often busy and for good reason :)

I wanted to take My parents and family here for a lunch to celebrate their 50th year of marriage. I wanted everyone to be able to order their choice of food so we went to the regular dining room. We were seated behind the bar area which was like a separate space. Which was perfect. We had our privacy yet the staff was very attentive. Everyone really enjoyed their food and drink. More Importantly My Parents were very happy and felt comfortable and joyous to share their day with the whole family.

It has been an institution in the area for many years. On this Friday evening, the bar was busy. The service at the bar is attentive and timely. It had another round of people fill the bar as we sat there. The staff is just so good. While the dining area and bar may be becoming a little bit dated, the food is consistently good. The service is excellent. The drinks are typically a little bit generous, and very well crafted. Great selection at the bar. This evening, we had the jumbo shrimp cocktail and some drinks as we waited for friends.

We didn't know what to expect with this establishment because the yelp reviews were mediocre but two family friends had recommended this restaurant, so we thought we would give it a try. And boy am I glad we did! It was a belated birthday dinner for me, and I felt like a princess! The ambiance was a mix of family friendly patrons in the main dining area and happy after work patrons at the bar area. For starters, the hostess was pleasant and seated us pretty quickly. We sat by the window and our waitress, Brenda, came right over to say hello and introduce herself. She took our drink orders and brought over fresh hot rolls and sesame crackers. We ordered some appetizers to start: the honey-pepper cauliflower (for me) and the bacon-wrapped scallops (for my mom & hubby). I was surprised how spicy the cauliflower was! I think I was thinking black pepper, not hot pepper...it was a bit too spicy for my taste, but mom & hubby really enjoyed it! They LOVED the scallops- they were LARGE scallops with just the right amount of bacon wrapping each one. For our entrées, I ordered the herbed chicken breast with mashed potatoes and swiss chard: that chicken was perfectly seasoned and so juicy and delicious. All the sides reminded me of eating a home cooked meal that was served hot off the stove and so flavorful fulfilling. Hubs ordered the petite filet mignon and baked stuffed shrimps. He was so pleased that the shrimps were so huge and tasty! He said the steak was delicious and tender and that his dish had just the right amount without overdoing it. My mom ordered the seafood fettuccine alfredo and she was shocked by the generous amount of seafood in the dish! She stated that is was so savory and delicious. All our meals came out HOT and fresh and absolutely delectable! For dessert, hubby ordered the cream puff, mom ordered the crime brûlée and I ordered the mini coconut carrot cake. We were so surprised by how large the serving sizes of the desserts were and how reasonable the pricing was for the large portions. When our waitress brought out my mini slice of cake, there were candles in it and happy birthday written on the plate! I thanked my mom and hubby, and they said it wasn't them! Brenda had that prepared for me! WOW! What an AMAZING experience at Café Escadrille! I highly recommend this establishment. The food was absolutely delicious- served in perfect timing between the apps/salads and main course and then dessert. Brenda, our waitress was incredible. She took such care of us- checked on us just the right amount- not overbearing, but very attentive. Plus she put together the birthday cake for me and kindly took some photos for us, whilst she was pretty busy with the many tables she was waiting on! Don't think about it- just go there! You won't regret it!
