Stopped here for some drinks and apps. These were delicious apps. We didn't get full meals so I can't speak to this but if they put this much into their apps the main course must be awesome. Inside was so cool. I loved the art work on the walls and the set up. Would be a great place for a date. Unfortunately I was with a coworker. But I felt the pressure to fall in love with him, or at least go back to his place.

The seafood Mac and cheese was advertised as an appetizer. It was so large I could barely finish it. It came out piping hot and was soooo savory. Each bite was of heaven but I had to save some for later. Try their pumpkin spice cappuccino! It's like a cup of coffee made from home. I'm not sure how long they'll have it for.It's very European/cafe/bar modern inside. Mood lighting always, letting in just enough sunlight on a sunny day.

Went to Iguana Cafe today to try some new food! I was very excited about the crepes. We tried: 1. Espresso Martini - this was super nice! Very well made and I enjoyed it a lot 2. Bloody Mary - presentation on point. 3. Amsterdam Crepes - I am vegetarian so this option was nice! It had a lot of red bell pepper and tomato, and I added some mushrooms as well because I love them haha. Service was super quick! We didn't even have to wait to get a table. The ambiance of the place is very nice and cute. Felt very European.

Lovely cozy restaurant! I'm surprised I didn't try it earlier. It might look super discreet from the outside, but you will be surprised with the amazing food and the friendly staff. Our favorite was the pesto pasta and the croissant sandwich. Will definitely come back to try more things on their menu!

Cannoli crepe and coffee drinks were good. Unfortunately the Caprese crepe and Amsterdam crepe were really underwhelming. The space/decor is cute and appears to have so much potential but unfortunately the food was subpar. The service was fine but sadly we didn't feel very welcome and the servers honestly looked a bit depressed. I'm sad for this place as it seems to have so much potential.

Great spot for a casual meal! I went for lunch and it was the perfect portion and pretty good food! We started with the seafood dip and I got a sandwich. The bread and pita for the dip were fresh which was a great touch! The dip itself was good, a bit fishy tasting though. I got the Napoli sandwich and it was great! The food is also priced super reasonably compared to places in the area so it makes it an easy spot to just pop in for an easy meal. The pastas also looked very good and I'd love to go back and try a crepe for breakfast!The atmosphere is a bit dark inside and outdated but the servers and staff are so friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be back, I'm excited to try breakfast!

I have been coming here on business every year since 2017. The pastas here are generous and delicious! However, this time I decided to order the fig, beets & burrata salad and added grilled chicken. It was unfortunately a let-down -- though the chicken was well-seasoned, it was overcooked and hard. The salad, which came drizzled in balsamic, lacked sufficient dressing. I had to ask for additional dressing. My friend who ordered the smoked salmon salad enjoyed his -- I took one bite and was immediately jealous that my salad paled in comparison to his. I typically order an espresso martini with my meal every time I dine here, because in the past, it had always been good. Sadly, my martini was too creamy and lacked the punch you get from the espresso. It hardly tasted like espresso at all! At such a milky consistency, I couldn't even finish it. It was disappointing. Hopefully better luck next time!

Went for lunch ... first time visit. The room is lovely with it's dark tones. I ordered the tomato basil soup with crumbled feta and the Amsterdam crepe with ham added. My husband ordered a bowl of the chili. The chili was very good. The tomato-basil was good but the crumbled feta was actually large chunks. The major fail was the crepe. The taste was overwhelmed by the peppers and the olives. I could not taste the Gouda or cheddar (of which there was a minimal amount). The service was okay 'though when the server saw me "deconstructing" the crepe at the end of the meal, she asked if everything was okay. When I replied that I wouldn't order this again, she just turned and walked away. Maybe I'd go back for a drink because the bar looked nice and cozy, but I wouldn't rush back for a meal.

Iguana Cafe hands down has the best crepes in the city. If you're looking for some European flair head to Iguana!! (looking at all the girlies who vacationed in Europe this summer). I'll save you time on your order because the cannoli crepe is simply genius and transports you straight to the heart of Italy. Grab one of those and a freddo cappuccino and you are LIVING. It is truly the best dessert crepe I've ever had in my life!! Would 10/10 recommend Iguana for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
