The Moonlight Cafe

This restaurant is delightful; an establishment like no other in Vincennes. All three (six including my wife’s) courses were absolutely delicious. Between the two of us we had the bruschetta, smoked paprika almond crusted tilapia, chicken piccata, green beans, asparagus, red roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, chocolate lava cake with homemade ice cream, crème brulée, a glass of Riesling, and a glass of Moscato. There was not a complaint from either of us.

Excellent food, really a great romantic spot in town. On the expensive side but worth it.

I wanted so much to love this place. In a town where it seems like 90% of the restaurants are pizza joints, it’s refreshing to see someone try to stand out. But trying and succeeding are two different things.
Where to start? With such a long list of steaks on the menu, and prices in the $ 20+ range, I would not expect paper napkins. Salads seem to be iceberg lettuce. Would be nice to have a nice spinach salad. I had a seafood platter. it tasted fine, but I could swear I had tasted the same items in the Sam’s club frozen food section.
Bottom line… In a town with limited choices, it stands out. If i am from Vincennes I would give it 4 stars. But my bar is a little higher. It seems like it’s a good first try, but they need to make same changes to improve. With the prices of the entries, I would expect all the amenities. Instead you get diner quality at upper crust prices.
