    The evening was perfect! Seated right away, a nice table, service was excellent! It was our anniversary and we were treated royally! Everything was delicious from the Parker house rolls, salads and the Beef Wellington is to die for! It is a very large serving so we split it and we were both stuffed! We were also treated to a delicious chocolate cake for our Anniversary! It is very expensive but for a once-in-awhile splurge or a special occasion it is worth it!!

    Mille Fleurs is a true gem, offering an exceptional dining experience that is second to none. From the moment we stepped into the warm, elegant ambiance, we knew we were in for something special. The attention to detail in both the decor and service is impeccable, making it perfect for a romantic evening or a celebratory meal. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the service. Rob, our server, went above and beyond to ensure every moment was flawless. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made us feel like honored guests. He was knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, offering fantastic recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. As for the food—simply exquisite. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The seasonal ingredients were clearly of the highest quality, and the chef’s creativity shone through in every bite. From the appetizers to the decadent dessert, each course was a masterpiece. Mille Fleurs offers not just a meal, but a memorable experience. With outstanding service (thank you, Rob!) and extraordinary cuisine, this is a restaurant I can’t recommend highly enough. We’re already planning our next visit!
