The Belle Epoque Cafe

Service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. I had a chicken dish. It consisted of drumsticks, a square of cheesy potatoes, two asparagus spears and a couple slices of tomato. The vegetables were good. The chicken just ok. It was a little dry and perhaps overcooked. In all, it was good and I wasn't that hungry so it was enough. But not a place for large appetites. Nice historic building. Worth a stop if you don't want the chain restaurant fare in most St Joe restaurants.

Great little spot. Very nice ambiance and food was delicious. Service was goodAlso! Will be back.

Such a great little gem. I have eaten here 3 times and each time has been such a wonderful experience. The medallions at dinner are the most tender meat ever and the desserts are amazing. For lunch I had a sweet potato bun mini sliders and didn't know the flavors would have me craving for another visit. This is a great date spot and the servers are great. I enjoyed the throwback Gatsby decor, actually googling the name it is the Belle Epoque Era.

Beautiful decor, good music and beautifully prepared food. Also reasonable prices for dinner.

Absolutely beautiful and charming. The menu is inviting and varied. I had the beet salad and it was absolutely delicious and fresh. Can't wait to go back!

Ran across this place while in St Joe with my wife. The food was great and the atmosphere as well. Great discovery!

The service saved the meal. Had the Lox and toast had to ask for more Lox (see pic) tasted like cream cheese on a piece of basic bread. Being a cafe, I expected a thick slice of homemade bread or something not out of Sara Lee packaging. I came for the French toast, but they were out. The cinnamon roll was not done in the middle. The banana loft was not made that day. My husband got the quiche, and it was a very small serving, but he enjoyed it. After leaving, we were still hungry, not my idea of brunch, especially for the price.

Well, I really wanted to like this place.The good part: music, atmosphere and service.The bad part: the FOOD. Very small portions of consistently mediocre fare. I had the Reuben Bake. It had flecks of mystery meat, no kraut, no rye, no thousand island. None in our party had a positive food experience. Meals, tax and tip came to $25 each. Recommendation: don't bother.

This was a favorite place for me and a friend last summer. The food was divine and portion sizes were respectable, while wait times were very reasonable. We just had lunch there yesterday and a few things seemed different. The parking lot was not full. Great for us! We seated ourselves and I noticed a cocktail menu on the table that wasn't there before. Fabulous! We're "brunching" and adult drinks are perfect with brunch. We're greeted with the friendliest wait staff and receive our menu's. Uh oh....everything has completely changed. Where's the Shepard's pie!? In fact, there are very few items that involve a fork, as this has changed into a sandwich-style of menu. I'm having a difficult time picking out what I want because the changes here are pretty big. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a side salad. It took a very long time for our food to arrive. When it did, I couldn't believe how small the burrito was, which would be okay if it were actually good. I was underwhelmed and still hungry but figured in 20 minutes, this will subside. My friend wasn't hearing it and offered me a taste of her slider, which wasn't bad. After reading other reviews, I learned it was under new ownership, which now makes more sense as to why it was so different. The good. -the ambiance and music-the service -the cocktail selectionThe bad. -the menu selection-the long wait times-the exquisite taste of their dishes...gone, and now just mehMy suggestion to the new owners would be to lower your prices to better represent your menu offerings and wait times. Keep the excellent staff and music.

Cute place. We had the sweet potato/ham sliders and the banana bread which were delicious. Service was attentive. I would come back and order both except I want to try additional menu items. +Recommend.
