re: Cafe Americain on Juban

The one at Lodell and Jefferson used to be good. It has sucked for the better part of a decade now. However , I did go two years ago to a big catered party with a set menu. Few app choices , entrees , cake was brought by friend of the person being honored. I ordered a ribeye thinking it would suck. They brought out a 16 ounce ribeye that was like two inches thick, perfectly medium rare throughout the room for those who ordered it that way. A huge twice baked potato , great green salad before. I was shocked how awesome it was for having forty or fifty people there and they did not charge the hosts very much at all. The side room is pretty spacious.

So if you need a cheaper catered dinner for something casual like retirement party for more extended friends and what not, look into it. Don't go to dinner and order off the menu though, they can't get it together on that front.
