Spoil yourself with a classic French dining experience at Dream Cuisine Café. This cozy BYOB bistro serves up innovative cuisine in an intimate, relaxed space with Parisian flair and the occasional live music. Supervised by chef Vincent Fanari, the restaurant's menu features a nice selection of traditional French dishes like raclette and prosciutto melt. Guests can dine a la carte or opt for the prix-fixe menu, which includes a salad, dessert, entrée and a choice of appetizer. Visit for lunch and spoil yourself with a Pennsylvania trout, served with crispy croutons and Provencal sauce. Round it off with a creamy cheesecake for dessert. Dream Cuisine Café fits the bill if you're in the mood for a Parisian dining experience. The restaurant evokes images of the French countryside with bright walls, banquettes and tablecloths. Dream Cuisine Café is open Tuesday to Saturday.

This restaurant is no longer open. When it was, the food was always good but the pace of the meals slow.

We hit on a slightly off night the other night, one patron was a little loud and the service was just ok. The food was a little off too. All the other times I have gone, it was fantastic. Wonderful food and service, loved it.

The food here is very good, but the service can vary, depending upon the server, and the tables are way too close for my comfort level. I could overlook these things however, 2 things occurred which bothered us - 1) when we left our forks on the appetizer plates our server handed them back to us - unacceptable! This is a multi course meal with appetizer, salad, main course in a presumably upscale restaurant, yet my place setting had only 1 fork - I know of several mom and pop restaurants in the neighborhood which provide 2 forks at their place settings, so yes, you should do better. More troubling is #2) the server put 2 main courses down at the table next to us and walked away; these 2 people seemed a little confused by the courses and in another minute or 2 the server returned, removed the plates and brought them to another table?! I find this incident extremely troubling since the server turned his back on the table and walked away he had no idea whether they had tasted the meals or even placed their fork in it.

We have been to the dream cuisine before and the first time was a wonderful experience. We could not wait to go back. However, tonight we made a reservation and when we arrived the restaurant was not very busy however we waited 20 minutes before receiving menus, water or wine glasses. We poured our wine and reviewed the menu when a server showed up (another 15 minutes later) informing us that the credit card machine was down and if we didn't have cash they could not serve us. I found this in extremely poor taste. The server went to the other tables who were eating and asked them if they had cash. Very tacky. One guest had said they will leave their credit card number and that was no good enough. There was no attempt to bring in a repair man for the machine or to get an old swiper. I had asked if any of the neighboring restaurants had an old credit card swiper and was told "I don't think so" and I said did you ask and they responded no. As I was talking to the waiter another server interrupted us and told the server to check on another table. Again very tacky!!! They refused to work with us. We got up and had a wonderful meal at a neighboring restaurant. The staff at Dream Cuisine does NOT care about repeat business! We will not go back and will deter future patrons from dining at this mediocre establishment.

We have dined at Dream Cuisine Cafe a number of times but unless there are significant changes in the management of this restaurant, we will not be back. We had reservations for Saturday, May 28th at 6:45. It was our anniversary. Upon arrival we received a rather indifferent greeting and we were asked if we had a reservation. Confirming that we did we were told we could sit anywhere. There was only one waiter for a restaurant that seats 30+ people. It was busy but not "crazy busy". Both our waiter and our busboy were very polite but also very unprofessional. The service at Applebees is much more polished. We had to ask repeatedly for water, it took forever for some bread to reach our table, and our waiter never asked how our meals were. The food at Dream Cuisine is always very good and Saturday was no exception. My wife though was disappointed in her pear salad which contained mere shavings of a pear. It was as if they had waved a pear over the salad. After finishing our salad our waiter informed us that their credit card reader was down and that we would have to pay cash. We replied that we did not have enough cash to cover the bill. He said they would figure something out. Our experience at DCC is that there is usually a long wait between courses. Saturday was exceptionally long between courses. By the time we got to dessert we were ready to go. Coffee would have been nice with our desserts but we didn't want to wait any longer and we were never offered any coffee or tea. Most restaurants would kill for food that is as smartly prepared as the DCC. However until they figure out the other aspects of the Dining experience (service, ambience) we will not be back.
