Restaurant Experienced - Cass Cafe

The food at the Cass Cafe is as artistic as the works that decorate the dining room. Delicious and light, the menu has many options for all sorts of diets.  The house specialty is a lentil burger.  Though it seems quite simple, the consistency is incredible and the portion is perfect.  Normally, when I think of a lentil burger I imagine a dry patty that tastes like whatever spices are put into it.  The Cass Cafe has a different idea all together.  The burger was oozy but charred on the outside which provided a really unique and enjoyable flavor!  Still, there are many other highlights to the menu, like the wild mushroom tortellini with artichoke and sun dried tomato:


Delicious and lighter than expected
The food was fresh, well prepared and artistic; the whole dining experience was very enjoyable.  The bar serves beers from all over, including Motor City Brewing Works draughts to European and Asian selections.  The best part? The meal was quick and about $12 per person including drinks. Other dishes that looked wonderful coming out of the kitchen included the salmon blt and the burrito.  I highly recommend the Cass Cafe for those who have never been.  It is a quick and tasty way to spend 45 minutes if you are looking for a place to eat while in Midtown.
