    Seven of us had dinner to celebrate the birthdays of two of us. The service was absolutely outstanding and responsive. Appetizers (mushrooms and crabcakes) were great, and entries delicious. We were able to taste four different wines to determine which bottles of red and white we wanted. When we were cold, a heater was brought in to help. We had requested the garden room, hoping it would be quieter, and it was very nice.

    Not trying to be a pretentious ars here but we’ve eaten in France & New Orleans and have had a hard time matching those experiences. My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I had a Valentines dinner here tonight. I can say that the food and the experience were great. French Onion soup was quality, I tasted my daughter’s tequila martini & ordered one myself, lamb chops were perfect and the banana, nutella crepe was one of the best desserts I’ve had. Coming from a fat guy, that’s a compliment. First timer who will be back for more
