I have ZERO negative things to say. This place has atmosphere, great drinks, amazing food, and wonderful servers. My husband and I are from out of town bc I am showing horses at the Tryon International Equestrian Center, and this restaurant is literally our favorite. We keep going back!!! Everything we have ordered is delicious

As a local I really wanted to give Café Rel a chance, but when you walk in a half hour after dinner service has started and you see the place being sprayed for pest control it does NOT give a good impression! It should not happen during food service hours!!!
If you are going to advertise yourself as French then have a proper bread service, not some small pieces of frozen bread with some strange crushed tomato dip that you can't really dip.
The Blue Crab Bisque had miniscule amounts of crab and was over-thickened.
The Balsamic Vinaigrette for the small, nondescript salad was the consistency of pudding - a little strange. The Crab Cake was ok.
The Fettuccine Alfredo with sautéed shrimp should have been called Garlic Alfredo with unseasoned shrimp - the shrimp had no flavor at all and there was an inordinate amount of garlic in the Alfredo sauce.
We won't be back!
