Absolutely magnificent lunch. Delicious house made pate appetizer. Creamy melt in your mouth quiche with a bounty of salad that could have made a meal in itself. Make sure you save room for the chocolate pate dessert. This is the type of restaurant you wish you had in your own neighborhood so you could go there often. Even though it was a 30 minute ride from me, I’ll be back.

The service at this location was incredible. The different meats cooked the way you like and the serving staff remembered how you like the meat cooked. They even offered us a free dessert because we just got married a week ago. I will definitely be back at this location.
