The Waxwing Cafe

What a hidden gem! My aunt got my boyfriend and I a gift card for Christmas and we had a delightful time! The food was thoughtfully prepared and incredibly flavorful (the beet salad was out of this world and the filet was the best I’ve had in the valley; my boyfriend said the scallops were UNREAL!!), the cocktails were delicious (the Tonka Old Fashioned is a must—deep, sweet, warm flavors add a delightful twist to a classic), and all of the staff were incredibly warm and friendly. 12/10 experience, can’t wait to come back :)

How did I not know about this place? It was so good and we will be coming back. Everything from the service to the food was amazing! There are so many good options and we can’t wait to come back when the menu changes. The mung bean crepe with pork confit was spectacular. The flavors were great. The mock tails were just OK, didn’t have a ton of flavor for the price. Vegetarian asparagus pasta was so good (size pictured is a half-plate and that was enough for me to split with my wife). For the main dish, we got the braise short beef rib, and the halibut. I never order fish, because I’m so nervous it will taste fishy but it didn’t at all. The flavor combos with the fish were spot on. The space was a little bit smaller than expected which is fine, just informing. By the time the 7 o’clock re

Delicious food and comfortable, warm atmosphere. Visited on a Wednesday for the 3-course meal and was super satisfied by the variety of options and portion sizes. Cocktails were delicious as well! Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A bit pricey but well worth the cost. Will definitely be coming back.

Waxwing is a hidden gem! Can’t believe I hadn’t been here before. We were immediately greeted when we came in and loved the laid back atmosphere. The room is quaint and cozy and the tables were situated well. The music selection was also great! We tried a little bit of everything, shared each course and were absolutely blown away. The fried oysters were delicious, the asparagus with sticky rice was creative and unique, we followed that up with the pork confit that was incredible! We then tried the vegetarian carbonara but the star of the show were the short ribs and potato puree. That puree should be sold on its own. We loved it. The short ribs were SO tender! We finished our meal by enjoying the key lime panna cotta and chocolate cake! This place was so great! We’ll definitely be back!

A friend surprised me last night and took me out for dinner to the Waxwing Cafe. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The atmosphere, the service, and above all their delicious food is far superior to any other restaurant in the area. I loved everything about it and hope to return soon. I used to love going to Chez Albert but I like their new location even more. The ambiance was great and I loved the lighting in their back room with the animal light shades.
