A great way to end the week by having dinner here on a Fry-yah evening. Went here with a Pal and glad that she found this place, as we often enjoy trying new places regardless of how far away we drive to them. The location has a beautiful sight of the Mountains and the inside is very quaint and peaceful. Oro, an owner/employee, was amazing as she came out to greet us and let us know more about the food and it's preparation which was a very sweet gesture. She's so nice! We didn't request it but she was friendly and had no idea I would review them. Just a note! Shows how friendly she was. I had no idea that they didn't use sugar nor dairy until Ora explained, which is why, this made it even more awesome because, although, the food didn't cater to the sugar and dairy...I could not tell!!! Loved it!!! We arrived at 6 but didn't get our food for a very long time, thinking that Jenny, our waitress forgot about us. We were seeing other humans come in after us, and leaving way before us... that part was a little irritating to be honest. If you're planning on going, prepare to be here a while but part of me is like, you can't rush perfection although, people were in and out ...so the other part of me was irritated like... sheesh! You could tell that whomever the cooks were, that they put their love into preparation because, it was all yummy. I don't eat "good for you" meaning ( I eat sugar, gluten and dairy products)so, for me to say that this place was AWESOME is saying A LOT!!! ... Again, NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW that it's gluten, sugar and dairy free... That's how FANTASTIC it is!!! The mushroom(s) were good but, I seen a photo in which, 2 were served so I expected 2 but, when I received only 1, I asked Jenny, (waitress) about it and she explained that it depends on the size of the mushrooms. Mine was a nice sized one but I felt a little thrown off not getting 2. The lemonade with sparkling water was tasty ... I was sad that they weren't refills though.The filet mignon was great although, I prefer medium well but,( not bloody) but it was more done than, I wanted...it was still GREAT! The presentation of all of the dishes were set up BEAUTIFULLY One of the chefs who brung out the dishes, put his heart and soul into delivery as well. Believe me he handles with care. (reminded me of salt bae... if you know, you know) The apple desert was very very good but the teeny scoop of ice cream wasn't enough... they should have at least add 2- 3 teeny scoops of the non dairy ice cream on top, as the dish, needed more moisture for the crumble on top, to set the taste pallet to comfort. Very good dish overall though. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND WILL DEFINITELY RETURN. Tell Jenny and Ora that I sent yaAs usual, there's plenty of free parking. Side note: I do think that the restaurant needs a more upscale building with patio seating because the view is breathtaking and even if they were set up with wide open doors with patio seating, it would make a great spot for date night or a evening out with pals. The restaurant is upscale by its presentation and deserves an upscale building where you're able to soak in the breath taking views while eating these well prepared dishes. I had to sit straight up in my chair to enjoy the view Even, if they didn't move to a new building, at least, move to the other end of the building and install patio seating with mist. You're not utilizing the beauty of the location to match the food. Just my opinion

"I love this little corner cafe. The menu hits SO MANY flavor cravings, I imagine just about anyone could find something they love here - and 100% gluten-free is such a ginormous win! I was so happy the café was open on July 4, as my days off don't always lineup for a sit down breakfast when they would be open. I was really craving chicken and waffles since a friend told me how good theirs was. Ultimately, I ordered a waffle breakfast sandwich that had those ingredients and more. Service was great throughout my visit, I was checked on multiple times and given great recommendations on the menu. The new cheery yellow booths are such a fun addition to this great little space (I hadn't been in the area for a few years, so I guess they're possibly just new to me). There is a take away register right next to the abundant bakery case. Be sure to try some of the fresh baked gluten-free goodness!"
"My ears are still ringing. The energy Saturday night at Cate Lalibela is conspicuous. The staff was extremely convivial. I choose to build my own - lamb, chicken, and chard. I crave spice and flavours like these and it absolutely hit the spot. Carnivore and vegan friendly, Cafe Lalibela has something on the menu for every foodie."
