Chef Mel provided my wife and I with an anniversary dinner that left us wondering if we had ever tasted food before. Truly, the experience and quality of the food was far above and beyond any dining of my lifetime. Just learned that Cafe Beautiful has been closed due to a massive rent increase. Good luck to Chef Mel, I hope you recover and rebuild. If you reopen somewhere, I would be honored to be among your first guests.

Chef Mel is an amazing cook so everything we had the pleasure of sampling during our visit was exquisite! The atmosphere and ambience are perfect as well for a cozy evening. Thoroughly looking forward to next time! Wish I could rate 6/5!

Great experience. The food was delicious and unique and the presentation was beautiful. You need to bring your own wine (nor corking fee) and must make a reservation. There is no menu but the chef asks about dietary restrictions in advance.We celebrated our 15 year anniversary here and highly recommend it. I would say that if you are picky it may not be the place for you. If you cannot relax and go with the experience you will likely not be pleased. But between Google and Yelp the reviews are almost unanimously glowing. And I would not give much weight to a 2 star review from a reviewer who clearly only writes negative reviews.

A gorgeous dining experience. Chef Mel had us reschedule due to technical problems with the building and (in her words) made it up to us in a fantastic manner. We had a seven-course meal comprised of small plates with explosive flavors over a leisurely couple of hours. Mel was personable, understanding and accommodating and provided us with dinner experience that was truly special. Definitely will be back!
