    I'm glad we ordered off both menus because we all preferred the selections off the regular menu. The salad with the endives was a real winner, the salad with the duck skin was lost on us. The duck bread pudding was a quirky idea that actually worked quite well on the plate. I'm glad we got to try the pressed breast because we had read a lot about this dish. The cassoulet on the side was the best cassoulet, hands down, we all have ever had. The chocolate souffle was really good but the apple tart wasn't a favorite. The service was very attentive and friendly. They have some great signature cocktails on the menu, and I liked being able to order a glass of a good Bordeaux. If we went back, we all agreed we would order off the regular menu. The endive salad for an appetizer and ask if they could make the cassoulet as a main course. (and of course pair it with a glass of that great Saint-Estephe)

    Delicious food! The lobster roll and omelets had the freshest lobster. My daughter loved the King Crab legs. The fries were yum. Service was lovely and of course - the view next to the window was stunning. We even saw dolphins! I will go back!
