| - I always enjoyed my meals at Radio Milano but the prices were just high enough to keep it out of my regular rotation. So I was excited about the changes to Radio Cafe, with hope that it might crack the rotation.
Everything we had was really good. The deviled eggs are awesome. My wife enjoyed the chopped salad, with one complaint - no option to add any protein. I loved the meatloaf, but would like more than just a piece of meat. I suppose thats how they turned the former $18 meatloaf into the current $14 meatloaf. We also tried several sushi rolls, and they were all excellent.
Despite the quality food, the menu has a disjointed feel to it. Its half sushi and half "american" dishes. The sushi is good, but the place just doesn't have a sushi vibe. That leaves the other half of the menu, which I feel has limited options. There are only three things I would consider ordering for dinner, and only one option for my slightly picky spouse.
They call it a "bar menu," which is a mistake, because I don't think people will be going there for a drink and a quick snack. That puts them into competition with Postino. I would prefer more casual dining options. I think a slight redo of the former menu, with some lower priced options in addition to the entrees, would have been better.
The building is great, all the windows were open, and now the bar opens up to the back patio.
Service was so-so. I don't expect someone to fold my napkin everytime I go to the restroom or speak with a french accent, I just appreciate some attentiveness. Check back with the table occasionally and I'm happy.
So, with some quality additions to the menu, I think Radio Cafe would attract more repeat customers and bump up their Yelp stars.
