The food itself was good, I ordered the garlic and brie bruschetta and a tenderloin. My partner got a tenderloin as well as crab cakes. I went in a party of six, and to be honest was not very impressed with the service. Of the 5 tenderloins for our table not a single one was the correct doneness, some of our party didnt recieve an appetizer so we had to remind them. Glasses sat on our table until the end of the meal, and we waited for our check for over 30minutes whilst we could see the staff standing on thier phones in the back. It was a little awkward.

Reliably great steak. Probably the best place for steak in Auburn…read more Went there in January 2025.. two of us had steak & pork chops. Both delicious. Service is excellent, ambience is hard to describe. Like a steak house from the 1930s maybe. Better hurry though, they're closing soon... :-(

My family and I went to balloons a short while ago for dinner. I had octopus appetizer and a steak…read more My family had burgers and drunken ribeyes. I am local to Auburn but have to be honest. Absolutely disgusting! Steaks overdone and i believe rotten. The vegetables literalky tasted like luke warm garbage. I dont mind dropping $300 for dinner but please, at least, make it edible. The next day, my entire family felt sick to the point where my wife was throwing up. I was beside myself. I contacted the owner Bernie and he literally reprimanded me for not knowing my cuts of steak and how ignorant me and my family were. Come to find out, he is trying to sell that dump. No surprise. At that point, i reported him to the health department and Bernie continued to contact me about my ignorance. My recommendation, if you enjoy diaherria and feeling sick, eat at Balloons!

I let them know our party would be 10-15 minutes late and if that would be ok. They let me know they would hold our table for us until we got there. We arrive at exactly 8:45 and they tell me we cannot be seated as their kitchen closes at 8:45. If their kitchen closes at 8:45 why are they accepting reservations at 8:30 let alone telling customers they can arrive up to 15 minutes late? The hostess basically called me a liar when i said I had made sure 15 minutes was fine. "You said 10. I was there." Ok maam and I was the one that called. Unfortunate all around but in the future don't accept reservations so late if you won't actually let us in

The outside entrance and inside reception area were also very welcoming. It was a wonderful end to our festive day. We had a group of around 150. Our room was comfortable and spacious. Service was good. I, along with a few others at my table had ordered the baked haddock. It's funny, when I got my plate I thought it looked boring, no color. Lol, you do eat with your eyes first. I must say though, the haddock was cooked perfectly. The potatoes and veggies were also cooked well. Nothing was overly exciting but tasted fine. I'd say better than most banquet type meals. I was surprised that there was only 1 bartender for our large group. Though considering we were just there for dinner and not a long evening, it worked out fine. Overall, it was a nice dinner. 2023-122

I got a breakfast sandwich that had real eggs on stretch bread onions, and cheese topped with a little bit of hot sauce and a chocolate peanut butter protein milkshake to wash it all down. The menu has a variety of options from food to lattes, milkshakes, cooler drinks and some quick grab N go snacks. I ordered my food and milkshake at the counter. The host was helpful in helping me pick some of the best and most popular choices. She recommended some options and her options were great. I love them both. Plus they sell stretch bread from a local bakery. The inside of the dining area was clean well spaced out had window options for great natural light to come into the dining room. They had outside patio seating. The restrooms were clean. I'm happy I finally got to check out Cafe 108 before I leave town . I'm bummed that I did not discover the Cafe until later in my stay.
