    When I made the reservation, I told them it was our five year wedding anniversary, and we were treated amazingly from the beginning. We were given complementary champagne when we sat down, a complementary starter and complementary dessert wine. The food was amazing, the drinks were fantastic, the service was on point, I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

    My husband surprised me with a pre-Valentine's dinner at Café Juanita, and it was an unforgettable experience. The service was impeccable, and the wine pairing was spot-on. The steak was grilled to perfection—something I rarely find when dining out, as it's often overcooked or undercooked elsewhere. The romantic ambiance made the evening feel truly special, taking us back to the early days of our 25-year journey together. A night to remember!
