    DEPAULs is among our favorite restaurants. Centrally located in ARDMORE with convenient valet parking, it is a most pleasant atmosphere with a wide ranging menu and top quality service. We had crab cocktail, caesar salad, salmon, lamb chops and sides including spinach and haricots verts. Drinks -both cocktails and wines- are well prepared and fine quality. Desserts -we had cheesecake and the brownie a la mode- were delicious as well. We had been to DEPAUL several times before . It has been consistently very high quality. My only complaint is that the prices on all items continue to rise. This may be necessary to maintain business profits, but are still getting a bit out of hand. (lamb chops for 64 dollars?). Despite that ,however, we all (4 of us) had a most enjoyable meal with the basic elements of food/service/atmosphere all top quality. We will be back for sure -hopefully prices will not continue to increase each time we return

    White Dog Cafe is fabulous for a delicious breakfast/lunch meet up with friends. We have been here several times and this was the best so far. Our waiter was extremely helpful and courteous to our friend who is somewhat handicapped. The mushroom soup is absolutely delicious. They did not rush us even though it got very crowded as the afternoon wore on. I love the ambiance here, too. Very comfortable seating.
