    La Bonne Table has not disappointed us yet. We ate at four high end restaurants over the course of our anniversary weekend; LBT took the prize on pretty much all fronts. The ambiance is intimate and unassuming, professional and warm. We were greeted to our cozy wall-side table with celebratory champagne, a welcome surprise! We both started with the gorgeous onion soup gratinee, which was beyond excellent. My husband ordered the duck confit ( I usually order this, best in town), and I had a most delicious and perfectly done pork chop. In-between we ordered a French 75 and Boulevardier which are such good concoctions. This trip we shared chocolate mousse, the perfect end to a wonderful night. Our servers were friendly, unobtrusive, thoughtful and helpful with wine choice. What’s most impressive to me is how consistently wonderful LBT is. We’ll be back again and again.
