    Three 40 year friends, plus the husband of one, celebrated our February birthdays at Ouisie's by choice as each of us has previously dined there. We were not disappointed from the arrival to our exit, to include parking service, greeting by the front clerk and our table server. The food was delicious as expected and served with a smile. The three birthday ladies were treated with a dessert. It was another memorable occasion and I look forward to future visits, soon! A+ service from start to finish! It's a winner!
