    I had lunch with my niece who had been doing a lot of traveling…Paris, London. I had not seen her since Christmas and this is a favorite restaurant for us to go to. I arrived a bit early and checked the menu and it was missing the famous Jonathon burger I had had in the past. I asked the server if it was still available and he said yes, so that’s what I had and it was absolutely as good or better than I remembered. After easily managing to devour the whole burger and fries, we sat and talked a bit more and my niece said she was still hungry so I said well why don’t we share a dessert Well, she got the chocolate cheesecake and I had a crème brûlée so much for sharing a dessert. Both were delicious. Great food, great ambience, great service. I can’t recommend highly enough!

    The Valentines dinner was an excellent value with premium choices. We had the quail and oysters as appetizers. The unique creations were delicious. The lamb chops as the main course were larger than normally found at restaurants and cooked perfectly. The parsnip purée was amazing. The scallops were tender and juicy and larger than expected. The deserts followed the exquisite pattern ending our meal knowing we will be back to try the rest of the menu.
