Year after year, my visits to Cafe Loren have always been a delight. The food is exceptional, ranging from the house salad and Caesar salad to the incredible pistachio-crusted goat cheese beets! I've dined here twice in the past four days during restaurant week, and everything from the BBQ pork chop to the chicken and salmon has been outstanding. If there were a photo in a food dictionary for pan-seared scallops, it would definitely be from this restaurant. The presentation of the dishes is so beautiful that you're treated to a visual feast before you even take a bite. And the desserts? Simply delicious! The staff is top-notch—professional, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. I would give Cafe Loren five stars and even more if I could! Another year, another visit, and nothing has changed—still excellent food, beautifully plated, and excellent service. Wow!
I was so impressed with this little shore jewellery! The menu was fantastic, well thought out and creative. I wanted every article! During the presentation of everything a careful care was carried out. I could see the consistency of the plates throughout the restaurant. Our server was well informed and unobtrusive. We had the chili shrimp, the scallop appetizer, and the veins. Each piece of meat was perfectly cooked. As a chef, I'm not impressed to get out. The scallops were supposed and perfectly cooked, the puree smooth, the shrimps were perfection! The sauce on the calf was brilliant, and the calf melted in the mouth! I'll be back next year!
This is THE place to go in Avalon for a special meal. Romantic, delicious food, byob. We go Every time we are in Avalon! A MUST!
I absolutely love cafe Loren. The food is always banging and super pretty. The atmosphere is nice, calm, and serene. My favorite by far is the service. They are very kind, respectful people an are always welcoming.
The food here was excellent! You have to try the lamb. It’s a pretty small place so you need to make a reservation.
