    The food is always great. Well prepared and professionally presented. Our server, Isabelle, was excellent. She knew the menu and was able to explain the ingredients in the dishes to us. She made recommendations when asked and her suggestions were on target. We always enjoy our meals at this restaurant. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Great place for a holiday meal.
