Went for a girls night out. Great location for all of us. We all agreed the area is beautiful & the atmosphere of the restaurant was what we've been looking for. For the most part it was quiet. The staff was wonderful and so kind. We'll be back. A great experience. Keep up the good work.

Today we decided to take a walk and end up at Cafe Europa for breakfast. It was absolutely delicious. My husband especially loved the breakfast potatoes and his artistic cafe latte adorned with milk foam hearts! The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. They had the New York Times and the KC Star available to read, so we enjoyed a leisurely meal and was a great way to start our day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday lunch at Cafe Europa, Union Hill. We had not been before. The vibe was nice. Our server and the other staff were cordial and very helpful. I had the smoked salmon platter and my husband had the (Saturday special) steak sandwich. Both were very good. We will definitely go back soon.

We love Cafe Europa for home cooked, absolutely delicious meals. Also a great place to pop in for a quick bite, pastries and desserts and amazing coffee drinks. We just found out about their pizza night on Thursday evenings only. Dough made fresh by Nate topped with fresh, local ingredients! You are gonna love it!

Sadly, a disinterested, inattentive, distracted, forgetful server can quickly and easily turn a delightful dining experience into an honest, reduced-star review. I know that to be true, because that is precisely what happened to us here today.

The atmosphere is really laid back and the decor is nice to look at, it has the feel of a New York delicatessen, and the service is good. I know the menu is seasonal, but the only complaint we had was the lack of variety on it that day. We went for Fathers Day and we all ended up having just sandwiches, because the menu was pretty limited. I will give it another try for sure, maybe just my husband and I. We skipped desert, but that menu was pretty extensive, and looked delish.

Because I couldn't get a reservation for the time I wanted, I expected a crowd when we arrived. But there were only three diners in the restaurant with capacity for approximately 60. i was perplexed by this, but wanted to mention it for other diners who may get their preferred time with a call instead. My curry was tasty and fresh; my companion ordered the pastrami sandwich which was enough for two.

I had a gift certificate which was not accepted when I presented it after the meal. It seems that mine would only be good at Crestwood and not at this location. It seems to me that that could have been made clear when the certificate was purchased or better, have them good at either location.

Myself and four friends had dinner to celebrate our groups first time grandma. We arrived at 5:30 and were seated promptly. The dining area was empty but soon several tables were full. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drink options. I had the pork belly entrée and would go back just for this. But the lemon cake is so delicious it's my number two reason to go back. My friends had salad, trout and scallops with risotto. They all were very pleased with their selections. After dinner we moved to the bar area for a couple cocktails. The bartender, Lazer, is great. Loved the charm and underscored elegance of the place. This new location is in a good spot for people watching. All in all it was the perfect place for our celebration
