I had a birthday of five ten year olds and then three adults and they could not have been more eager to help accommodate us. They made everyone feel welcomed and taken care of. We requested two tables which they arranged close together and made sure we were set! Thank you for making it the easiest, special experience with five ten year old girls.

Absolutely magnificent lunch. Delicious house made pate appetizer. Creamy melt in your mouth quiche with a bounty of salad that could have made a meal in itself. Make sure you save room for the chocolate pate dessert. This is the type of restaurant you wish you had in your own neighborhood so you could go there often. Even though it was a 30 minute ride from me, I’ll be back.
