My wife and I had our annual Christmas dinner at La Gare on Dec 18, 2024. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Amy was our waitress. She was personable and professional. My wife ordered wild king salmon and loved the dish. I had prime rib that was cooked perfect and quite tasty. La Gare never disappoints.

Amazingly, Augie's French does NOT have a Cesar Salad on the menu. I know, unheard of, right? While that, in and of itself, is reason enough to celebrate Angie's with 5 stars, the rest of the menu is well conceived, and well executed. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's a bistro, so that is also welcome. This is about standard offerings, that deliver what they promise. Pretty much the definition of a bistro and the reason why I'll return to Augie's often.

I had a very delicious and enjoyable lunch with my friend today. Our server was informative and gracious. We shared the fries and both loved our main dishes. I want to try everything on this menu.

We recently visited this restaurant and had an outstanding meal. We tried the lamb shank and cabbage-wrapped Dolma, and both dishes were exceptional. The lamb shank, in particular, was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—it melted in the mouth. The service was equally impressive—friendly, and attentive. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and we can’t wait to come back!

Went for dinner… delicious! Stayed for karaoke… fun!
