   We sat on their beautiful patio which has such a fun vibe! Our server Thomas was wonderful, and our drinks and dinners were delicious! They made our friend’s birthday celebration extra special. We all had a wonderful time and will be back soon!

   We really enjoyed Cafe de Martin and wished we had time during our recent visit to Tallahassee to visit again. We sat on the patio, which was vibrant and colorful. The young man that seated us was very friendly and attentive, as was our server. My wife and I both tried Peruvian sebiches, which were delicious. There are so many varieties and options to try there. We hope to eat there again on a future visit to Tallahassee.

   Super cute outdoor courtyard patio. Relaxing ambience to enjoy Peruvian food, available nowhere else in Tallahassee (that I know of.) Cortado and dessert—any dessert—after dinner a must.

   The Patio is so nice when the weather permits. Very nice staff each time. Food Delicious. If I could change anything, it would be the menus that you have to use a qr code to see the prices. I would rather read it on the menu than on my phone

   Cafe de Martin is easily one of my favorite local restaurants. Whenever a friend or group of people want to gather and are looking for recommendations, Cafe de Martin is always first on my recommendation list. The food is consistently delicious. The staff is consistently patient, hospitable, and personable. Whether I am inside with the cozy atmosphere or outside enjoying the beautiful scenery it's a great time. On this specific evening, I chose to sit outside with my guests so they could experience the live music. Cafe de Martin did not disappoint. I got song happy birthday, my nephew danced the night away, and friends discovered a hidden gem. Nearly 20 people gathered for the first time in this space and those same individuals spoke of returning as the night concluded. Cafe de Martin earned every one of the new patrons they received that night.

   Cafe de Martin has been our favorite restaurant up to this point. Unfortunately they changed the menu and removed the fried shrimp appetizer, fish selections and seafood pasta. The fried calamari appetizer was dry and tough. Please bring back original menu!

   Servers were rude. Service was extremely slow despite there being only a few patrons in the restaurant. The food was good but I’ll never return due to the rudeness of several of the waiters.

    I had high hopes for Café de Martin when I made a Valentine’s Day reservation for 8:30 PM, but unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. After waiting to be seated, it took 30 minutes just to have our drink order taken. While waiting, we both stepped away for about five minutes to use the restroom, only to return and find that our table had been given to someone else. When our drinks finally arrived, mine didn’t match the online menu—it was supposed to have garnishes and a black flower but came with neither. Then, we waited nearly an hour for our food, which was a complete letdown. My meal had a terrible aftertaste, and my boyfriend’s dish arrived cold. Neither of us could eat our food, yet we still paid $120 and tipped the waiter before leaving. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. I had hoped for a special Valentine’s dinner but left unimpressed and unsatisfied. I wouldn’t return or recommend it.
