Christin "X1" L: Excellent food for an excellent cause. The renovations are great - lots of room, bright light, even a courtyard.
Eater: Even if it wasn’t a successful job training program for at-risk kids, the food here would still be incredibly delicious, old-school New Orleans soul food. [Eater 38 Member]
Laura White: Get the mac and cheese. And if you're here, be sure to ask what Cafe Reconcile is all about. It's much more than good food.
