The Scene – Muted white-on-cornflower-blue walls and lots of exposed wood conjures up a country cottage feel. Service is professional, yet also warm and easygoing, and the vibe is always laid-back and civilized. Since most diners are chummy locals, a pleasant conviviality percolates throughout the dining room. – – The Food – The seasonal menu at this cozy spot is better than ever. Start with classic Caesar salad or house-made tuna confit with currants, pine nuts and saffron-saturated onions. Mains are downright revelatory, such as milk-braised pork with broccoli raab…

I had dinner there for the Thanksgiving weekend. Food was not as good as before. The only reason I gave 3 stars was the waitress.
- Pros: waitress
- Cons: food (taste & presentation)
Great Establishment
by guntli_1
My aunt Cathie is the owner of this fine little resturant. She is a wonderful cook, and deserves creadit for all she does. I hope people enjoy this fine establishment. I have eaten there in 2000, and was highly impressed by the skill given to the meals.

The worst brunch in town!
by awd1978
I just visited Liberty Cafe last Sunday and found it to be awful enough to search out a site to write a review. I am a cook and a lover of food, especially breakfast food, and found the Liberty Cafe profoundly disappointing. There was a wait, which is to be expected on a Sunday morning, but we weren't even offered coffee for another 10 minutes after we were seated. The waitress, who was desperately trying to please and miserably failing, was flighty and seemed to serving the whole restaurant herself. She completely forgot my boyfriend's order and we had to practically get up out of our seats to get a refill of coffee. The worst was that I ordered eggs benedict, a brunch staple, and the eggs were nearly hard-boiled inside. After bringing this to her attention, she took the plate to kitchen, scaped off the eggs, and gave me back the same plate. A few minutes later, she brought me another egg in a cup. Worst of all, brunch for 5 with tip and without champagne, came to over $80. Acceptable for a good meal, but completely outrageous for an awful one. My advice, go to Savor on 24th Street, or even Welcome Home on Castro St.
The Details on Liberty Cafe
Know Before You Go:
There are no reservations, so if you arrive at prime dining time, expect a wait. Grab a glass of wine at the cottage behind the restaurant.
The Extras:
The cottage out back functions as a bakery in the morning, serving baked-on-premises croissants, breads and coffee drinks.
