Went to Cafe Landwer recently and had a great experience. The food was really good, but what stood out even more was the service. Ramin took care of us and he was genuinely awesome. From the moment we walked in, he was welcoming and friendly, started a conversation with us, and helped us choose what to order without being pushy. That kind of service makes the whole meal better. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Cafe Landwer if you want solid Mediterranean food and a great vibe. We’ll be back.

Cafe Landwer has garnered praise for its exceptional service, with reviewers consistently highlighting the friendly and attentive staff. Ramin, in particular, has been commended for his welcoming demeanor and ability to guide customers through the menu without being pushy. This level of service has left a lasting impression on patrons.
While the service is a standout, reviewers have noted that wait times can be lengthy, especially on busy days. Reservations may be a good idea to avoid long wait times, and be prepared for a possible wait even after being seated.

My girlfriend and I came to eat breakfast on a busy Sunday so we expected the service to take a while, but not to the extent it took. We picked a cute small booth by the restroom. We were ready to have a good breakfast. We felt like an afterthought. Once we got sat it took almost 15 minutes before someone came over to ask us if someone has taken our order. The manager came over and took our order. The water took around another 7 minutes to receive water. The food came out fairly quickly. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my girlfriend ordered the Kebab Hummus Bowl. The Kebab on the hummus was cold. We tried to get someone’s attention constantly, by trying to call over multiple workers who were attending other tables. We were saying “excuse me” but they ignored us. We made eye contact with the manager who was a slender man with glasses and a hat. My girlfriend waved at him, and he acted like he didn’t notice. He started attending others tables. Thank fully a food runner finally acknowledged us and let us know he could bring us knew warm pieces of Kebab. We were thankful because it took around 5 minutes for someone to pay attention to us. The new Kebab meat came out fairly quickly. We were happy, but disappointed how the manager was avoiding coming over to our table. He came towards the end to close our check. He kept it short and thanked us for coming in. We felt that there wasn’t really an issue with the workers, but with the culture and the manager. He was avoiding issues and not touching a table that he should have. Employees follow after their leadership. I am a manager at an upscale restaurant so I can understand this is a different situation, but the manager had to know something was wrong since he saw my girlfriend waving him down. Plus he should have known about the kebab being cold because that’s his job, to address issues during live service. Overall food was good and the service was bad. Specially the manager.

loved the mezze platter, spirulina shake and house blend tea. the beef/lamb skewers and the aryse were yummy too. the Nutella rugelach was a nice sweet ending. will have to return.
