    Food is great. Always tastes great. Would love for them to stock a beer on tap in the future.

    Alexander, Thank you for taking the time to review French Roast. Interestingly enough we had beer on tap for about 25 years, it was only of late that we removed the system.

    The pumpkin bisque and butternut squash/creme fraiche appetizers were absolutely delicious. The traditional Thanksgiving main course was not only delicious but such generous portions! We both took home "doggie bags". The pumpkin cheesecake and tiramisu deserts were likewise delicious and very ample in size. Staff was attentive but not intrusive as usual. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!
