I love this place for so many reasons. The food is great, always well-cooked and served quickly. The waiters are humble, nice, and create a good vibe. I've had heartfelt moments with them, and they always manage to lift my spirits and leave me smiling. There's one dish I particularly adore—the French onion soup is superb! I also enjoy sipping on their Apple Cinnamon tea, and their omelettes are among my favorites. However, I highly recommend trying their paninis ?.Vegetarian options: There are a couple vegetarian options along the menu you won’t be disappointed.

I was an hour late for a family dinner and the staff was wonderful! They took my order and my food arrived so quickly & it was delicious! Great staff, especially the manager.It was my first time dining here, and a great experience. Try the cheesecake ?

Incredibly rude staff. Placed an order through Uber eats, wanted their banana pancakes but there is NO option to order it on the app. So I placed a note in the requests section to add bananas, the section that says price may change based on request. They proceeded to make regular pancakes and left me this rude note in my bag

The service was great from the time we stepped inside until we left. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food wasn't bad. Nothing to rave about. Onsite parking is available.
Seven people ordering seven different entrees. Each one was horrible. The only thing good was the gelato. What a waste.

It tastes of nostalgia and bad coffee...Upon entering the Golden Reef just the other night i realized just how long its been since i had last been here.Many of us have spent many late nights/early mornings here due to lack of choice at 4AM, and the bars closing down. But my old @$$ went at a more "reasonable" 9 o'clock this night. My fiance ordered a bunch of breakfast foods while i just ordered a few sides.Do NOT underestimate their huge plate of fries with melted mozzarella and side of brown gravy. I add some bacon (which is cooked to perfection) to it and reminisce of simpler times.Kid-friendliness: Golden Reef is an all around "people friendly" place.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ramp and wide double doors upon entry
