We came to Chez L’amour not knowing what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting, the service extremely friendly and capable. It’s obvious whoever is running the kitchen and preparing the food has culinary experience. The menu was well thought out and the small plates were all delicious.
