Brussels sprouts had outstanding flavor. Little Gem Salad was prepared excellently. Wild Mushroom Risotto was creamy and tasty. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The six baby profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream were luscious. Thank you, as always, for a sublime experience.

This is one legendary restaurant that lives up to its legend. The food is out of this world. The service is brilliant. The room with a view is spectacular and the room in the lounge is cozy. This is a go-to place for special occasions. Thank you to Jackie, Jeannie and the whole staff who greeted us and our special guest so warmly.

I love Cafe Campagne. Wonderful restaurant, delicious food, good service, welcoming reception. I appreciate that some lunch entrées have a very nice small salad included. My only disappointment was that the (excellent!) vegetable quiche was sold out at 12:15. That does not leave many choices for a vegetarian. But the food and the atmosphere are excellent, and it was not noisy: a big plus.
