I had the lamb chops, which were $42. They were full of fat, almost an equal ratio. There was a very small portion of mashed potatoes on the plate (which were pasty) and an even smaller amount of beets. The meat was juicy but there was no jus on the plate, as their typically is with a lamb dish. In addition, the lamb tasted like it was seasoned with cinnamon, which I 've never known to be a spice that compliments lamb. Very disappointing overall. My husband had the chicken scalloppini. By its name, you 'd expect a thin-sliced, tender cutlet. However, it was thick and tough, and heavily seasoned. This Italian dish was accompanied by french fries (a bit odd and diner-like) and there was no veg...
we have reserved ourselves for our high-time anniversary without problems. we received a confirmation for this reservation on the day or so in advance. at the arrival ins restaurant it was closed. when we called the restaurant, the voicemail said that the owners were on holiday. but we were there with a confirmed reservation. since it was 7:30 on a Saturday night, all the other byob’s were booked in the neighbourhood suitable for a 1 year jubilee until at least 10 o’clock. after talking to some neighboring restaurants and people it seemed as if no one knew who or what was cafe loret. a great experience and we haven't set foot in the restaurant yet. if they have important plans or celebrate,...
This was our first visit to Cafe Loret. We purposely waited as initial reviews when they opened were not good. Even more recent reviews have been very mixed: people seem to either love or hate this restaurant. Our opinion was very neutral. Our party was composed of two local foodie couples and we all sampled different items on the menu. Everything we received was well cooked and perfectly acceptable, but nothing was outstanding. On a Saturday evening the place was half empty yet it took quite a while to get our food. Prices are moderate to high but it's BYOB. We would eat there again, but we will not be dashing back. Compared to Semolina (also in Red Bank) where we dined recently, it was rat...
was our first time and we were thrilled on the basis of reviews. first I would say that the place is very beautifully decorated and welcoming. the appetizers were divine! especially the chanterelle suppe. yum! unfortunately this was the best part of our meal. the escaped were “okay” and that desserts a little disappointment. we got the pie served with ice cream, so we thought the torte was warm. that was not the case. Nevertheless, we have enjoyed our meal and would probably go back.

We've been to both Red Bank and Lambertville a number of times. Only consistently outstanding experiences could justify driving an hour and a half each way. Our biggest challenge is deciding whether to stray from proven winners. If you've never dined here, the Tian of crab appetizer, scallop entree and chocolate royale dessert are outstanding, perfect every time, but we've never been disappointed by other choices.
Although we greatly enjoy trying out interesting new restaurants, Cafe Loret has become a go-to place for dinners with friends. Food is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Service is warm, friendly, and efficient. The atmosphere is gracious, and it is quiet enough for good table conversation. The prix fixe dinner menu is a particularly good deal.
the Entree presentation was bad. the main entrance was saved like small diner side dish. the menu was very limited. 3 times there. not very impressed. the best dish was homemade pasta appetizer.
Appetizers and Entrees were excellent. Would have been overall excellent had the service not been slow towards the end. Will try it again!
