    We devoured our food. I had the pancakes with thick bacon which was a perfect sweet/savory combo. I enjoyed every bite even though I think soufflé pancakes would elevate the dish even more! My husband had the croissant which was really good as well. My kids ate every single bite of their French toast and pork loin. Our table was very quiet as soon as the food came.

    Food was excellent but the service was even better. Very attentive and very quick service. Waitress noticed that my lamb was not cooked as well as I ordered and asked if I would like it cooked more. How nice! The other meal s ordered were just right. Cleaned plates all around.
