First time at Café 37 and not really sure if I would return. Cute place which has about 7 tables outside to eat and a bit more inside It is a BYOB and there is a liquor store across the street. My wife had the lump crab meat appetizer with plantain and thoroughly enjoyed. The roasted beet salad was a dry lump of mixed greens piled on top of one small red and one small yellow sliced beet...cut in half. They had forgotten to put the vinaigrette on it. Server did not know his menu and when one member of our party asked if there was dairy in a topping, he said he would check and did not return. He had a very difficult time corking a bottle but possibly it was his first or second night. The bus lady was more attentive for sure. The Sashimi tuna dinner was cooked perfectly with red peppers and wild rice. Our guests had the filet mignon medallions and enjoyed it completely. Lamb was tender and cooked just as ordered. Cappucino (no sugar/Splenda served-they forgot) and tea For a BYOB without desert the total came to $250 without the tip for 4 people. There are better places to eat at fairer prices in Ridgewood

This is one of our favorites! The food is always fabulous. We went back tonight for our anniversary and were not disappointed. I started with the crabcakes which are among the best crabcakes Ive ever had. Super light and fluffy with fantastic taste. My husband had the broccoli soup which he said was creamy and flavorful. We both had the surf and turf with steak and lobster. Ridiculous! Im a rare steak person and the steak was cooked perfectly. There was a nice sear with great flavor. The lobster was also well cooked and had a great smoky taste. The mashed potatoes were super creamy, the asparagus nicely cooked and the red wine reduction the perfect compliment. Dessert is always my favorite. The golden puffs are out of this world. Coconut ice cream between pasty. This is the only place I eat ice cream other than chocolate. My husband had the fallen chocolate cake which was also great - rich and creamy with a great caramel sauce. The staff here is always super attentive and the chef fantastic. I highly recommend for a nice night out - it never disappoints!

The quality of food is high but the restaurant is over priced and the service was unprofessional. My companion asked to substitute the mushrooms in a chicken entree ($27) and was told that she can only do it if she pays an extra charge. I got up and asked the manager upfront about it and her response was "Yes, that is how it is!". I never heard of an upscale restaurant charging for a vegetable substitute especially since my friend is allergic to mushrooms. The entrees were beautifully presented, the cheesecake was ordinary and at these prices, I would rather dine in the city. The place was full, very noisy and the food took a long time to arrive.

I recent had my daughters Bridal Shower at Cafe 37 and was so happy with how everything turned out. The food was EXCEPTIONAL, the owner, Cesar Sotomayer and his staff were totally professional, respectful, courteous and went above and beyond to please us all. I would recommend Cafe 37 highly for all occasions. You will not be disappointed.

In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Ridgewood right now. It is a white table cloth, BYOB. The service is good. They typically do two seatings on Friday and Sat nights - 630 and 830pm. Make a reservation though, otherwise you are not getting in!

This place started out very good and now has become exceptional. The lamb is superb as were all the dishes that my party ordered. How the Zagat rating is currently a 20 is beyond me. Cafe 37 ranks with Latour as the best two restaurants in Ridgewood.

The food here is just so good. Most recently, special branzino entree was mouth-watering good. Cesar is on top of his game and his staff is stellar (shout out to Felix). Highly recommended.

We were five in the party and every dish was excellent. Theres clearly a very good chef in the kitchen. Great place for very good food. Portions are not for the starved.

Very good food and service. Only negative was they insisted charging s $12 sharing charge for my 11 year old daughter. I think this should only apply to adults.

Too pricey for the amount of food served. Our waiter could use the art of listening so that he could in the future get the clientss orders right the first time.

The entree portions are small especially concidering the median charge of $32. Recommend you dont arrive hungry or youll depart in a similar state.

Last Saturday, we ate wonderful food at Cafe 37 and loved the atmosphere. However, the service was very slow. Will try it again on a week night.
