Just had lunch at your place today. Have gotten carry out before but missed out the whole experience. The food was wnoderful but the best part is that I felt as if I was at a friends house with the best food! Keep doing what your doing - it is incredible!
I have been for breakfast and dinner on a Friday, and
loved it both times. So much I wrote up my own little article for my
friends in town and emailed it all of them!! I am hooked on the fried
green tomato sandwich, I even ate it for breakfast there!!
I am so excited for you. Coming to your cafe was like coming to a friend's house and being pampered with delicious food and a warm comfortable atmosphere. Adey thought it was pretty funny when I ate my flower.
It was really good to see you doin what you do. And you do it so well! I am telling everyone about it. I am looking forward to many more wonderful lunches with friends in your cafe.
I attended your lovely restaurant on Friday evening, the 3rd of October with my beautiful wife. We both absolutely loved the entire experience. Especially the bottle of Kentucky's finest apricot wine that I polished off. We will certainly be back every friday forever. I cannot wait until next week. (OK this one is from my buddy!)
My friend and I were in today for lunch and want to thank you again for such a great meal! I'm definitely going to bring my husband in and my mom would love it too!
Just dropping a line to say how much my wife and I enjoyed are meals at your cafe Thursday afternoon 08/14/2008. The food was very delicous. We will highly recommend you to our friends.
Thank you for a wonderful and oh so yummy lunch! Your food and mission are great! Can't wait to come back, and I am already spreading the word of a delicious meal! Good luck and hopeful prosperity!
Thanks you for a most wonderful lunch today. The atmosphere was perfect, the friendly service was exceptional, and the food was amazing! We were already planning when we could come back!
I just came across the Wildflower Cafe while roaming around on the web and I am completely taken by your mission to provide delicious, natural dishes in a warm and inviting atmosphere. I plan to visit relatively soon to check it out. Your menu looks amazing and it's making me hungry! I'm also excited that it's somewhat close to where I live (Sharonville). Anyway, just wanted to say hello and thanks for supporting locally grown and organic foods! Hope to see you soon! :)
