Cactus Club Cafe

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ I’d definitely recommend making a reservation here, even for an afternoon visit. We had reservations for around 2:15 p.m., and I’m glad we did because several walk-in groups were turned away while we were there. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It’s a large space with a great atmosphere, and I especially appreciated the lower lighting since I’m sensitive to bright lights. The menu is also extensive, with quite a few items marked gluten-free. As someone with celiac disease, I appreciated the options and was happy to learn they have a dedicated fryer. As always, it’s worth discussing cross-contact with your server, as not every item marked gluten-free may be suitable depending on your level of sensitivity. We started with the truffle fries. They weren’t bad, but they were probably the most disappointing part of the meal. They tasted like they may have been sitting for a little while or just weren’t at their freshest. As someone who loves fries, these just didn’t stand out, and I’d probably try a different appetizer next time. For our entrées, my partner ordered the Cajun steak and shrimp, and I had the Mediterranean Bowl. The Mediterranean Bowl had a nice variety of flavors and fresh ingredients, and I enjoyed it more than the fries. My partner felt his meal was good as well. That said, neither of us walked away feeling like we’d had an exceptional meal. Everything was solid, but nothing really stood out or left us wanting to order the same dishes again. Overall, I’d describe the food as good but fairly average, especially considering the price. Our meal for two came to around $130, and we left feeling that the experience didn’t quite match the cost. If you’re looking for a restaurant with a nice atmosphere and a good selection of gluten-free options, it’s certainly worth considering. But if you’re hoping for a meal that’s truly memorable, there are other places I’d be more excited to revisit.

Brittany was amazing! I have severe celiac allergy and she checked on every item for me. The food was delicious and the service was even more amazing. Definitely coming back soon and hope Brittany is our server!
