From start to finish, our experience at the Sunflower Cafe' was surprisingly satisfying. We were greeted with a smile and seated right on time. The Valentine's day menu was full of delicious choices. Cathy had the filet of sole meuniere, which she said tasted very fresh. I had the cassoulet, which was a HUGE stew with beans, spicy sausage, ham and duck leg confit. For dessert, we shared a scoop of vanilla ice cream drenched in an espresso shot. We even took home a slice of flourless chocolate cake which was still fresh the next day. This was our first time there, but definitely won't be our last!
