I guess it has been awhile, because my past reviews are gone. I have loved The Classic Cafe for many years. The first time I ate here was the early 2000s. Many dinners, wine tastings, lunches, and Covid deliveries later, it is still a fantastic, iconic restaurant. We celebrated my husband's birthday here recently. I love the old house and homey feel and the beautiful artwork. The service cannot be beat. I had their Whiskey Sour and loved it. It's a little on the sweet side. We started with the Roasted Garlic goat cheese dip. Amazing!We shared the Asian-marinated, pan-seared salmon with a soy glaze, mashed potatoes and cabbage. It is one of the best salmon dishes. I don't know if I have ever gotten a dessert other than their Crème Brûlée, so we decided to try the Jalapeño apple cobbler with Beth Marie's vanilla ice cream. It was so good that I didn't regret not getting the Crème Brûlée. My husband was very happy with his birthday dinner celebration.

Charming and classy in a comfortable setting. The service was outstanding, with knowledgeable staff that provided service with perfect timing. The sad part was the food - overall three of four entrees were okay (beef bourguignon, jaegerschnitzel, trout) - only the lamb chops were exceptional. The side dishes were very good. Desserts were not worth the extra anything - bread pudding was the strangest we've ever encountered- a small ramekin with dumpling like texture and lack luster taste. Crème brûlée was very good.This restaurant has been around for a long time and we've been dining here since the beginning. Very disappointed in this visit which makes us want to avoid it for quite some time. Especially for $$$+.

There's a reason The Classic Cafe has been around for so long. The cuisine is outstanding and so is the service. The ambiance is charming and romantic. We ordered the Thanksgiving take out dinner this year and it was amazing!! We will definitely do that again. Thank you to the owners and the entire team who made this holiday so special and stress free!

We very, very rarely dine out at dinner anymore as we eat very little in the evening these days, but my cousin from the Carolinas was in Denton on business this week so we decided to split the distance and meet in Roanoke. We were last at Classic in 2014. We have always loved dining at Classic though our visits to the Roanoke store have been relatively few dating back to the 90's. We, however, frequented the Southlake store for lunch during it's tenure. The ever charming and winsome host, Francis, is still there working his hospitality magic. Love him. Our server tonight, Jamie, did a very nice job of perfectly attending to us from start to finish.Classic Cafe is an old school white tablecloth venue with tables nicely spached throughout the restaurant's several rooms. It is so much quieter and peaceful that so many modern restaurants. The walls are hung with colorful, mostly modern abstract art. It all serves to make for a very pleasant ambiance. As you can see from looking at the menu on Classic's website the restaurant's prices are right up there with the very top tier restaurants in Fort Worth and Dallas. But the kitchen delivers the goods! My cousin went for the Prime Beef Ribeye $72 with Drawn Garlic Butter $6.. It was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. My wife had the Classic Salad and I had the Caesar Salad with anchovies, I both of which were very nicely done, $14 each. For our entree we shared the Bleu cheese and almond-stuffed shrimp appetizer wrapped with spring roll pastry, fried, and served with a ginger sweet and sour sauce. Six for $24. This was so good! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, meaning not reduced to Goodyear tire rubber consistency. All of the flavors worked together wonderfully and the dipping sauce was an amazingly tasty accompaniment. My wife had the Peach pecan bread pudding with whiskey sauce for dessert. How can that not be just crazy good? And it was. As we were doing salads and the shrimp I decided on the Rose from Provence. It proved to be the ideal pairing for our dishes. Such an enjoyable dining experience. So wish Classic did lunch as the prospect of a return for a dinner is slim at our age. But alas. Times and circumstances have changed. I am just so happy that Curtis, Chris, Francis and the crew have kept this gem of a restaurant rocking along for thirty years now.

Our family of five had a wonderful experience. Kids arrived famished. Our waitress must've brought five loaves of bread for them loved the brie cheese appetizer. My wife had the filet mignon. She loved it myself and Grandma had the Jager schnitzel with cabbage and mashed potatoes. We all loved it. My son had the salmon pasta him being the pickiest of all did enjoy it quite a bit. lastly, we enjoyed the bread pudding. Plan on coming back. Outstanding service, pleasant ambience.

Our friend recommended this restaurant so we decided to try it out. Four of us, including our friend who had been, came for a late dinner after going to see a movie. A young lady who greeted us was not so friendly but the waiter who waited on us was good except for him reaching out in front of me to serve or interact my husband who was seated left of me while I was engaged in a conversation with a friend who was sitting in front of me.Because we were full from all the popcorn we ate at the movie, my husband and I got the salads and our friends got a salmon dish. The food was delicious. The salad was fresh and tasty and my friends enjoyed their salmon dish.We would like to come back to try different dishes one day as our overall experience piqued our interests.

The food was delicious. The service was horrible. The brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious. We had two salads and they were both wonderful and very unusual salads. I would really recommend the food but just don't get the waitress.

Renovate house made to a stylish and cozy restaurant. It is right off of Oak street with parking right outside the restaurant. There is a ramp for handicap accessibility.The menu was diverse and many options are made from their own grown garden. The server was outstanding. They asked if we wanted to order and they would slowly serve the courses, all at one or other so they customize the experience to our preference,It was clear the server had tried many of the items of the menu as his experience and recommendations guided what we ordered. I am grateful as we tried new things.The prices were aligned with an amazing meal and the flavors did not disappoint. I would highly recommend going for your special occasion, a night out with elegance or just a time to enjoy a great meal with friends or loved ones.
