    Wow, what a lovely experience! We had a comfortable corner table where we could easily hear each other in conversation. We all enjoyed the French themed set menu for January. It was absolutely delicious! I had the squash pumpkin bisque, veal tenderloin medallions, asparagus and small roasted potatoes, and a chocolate mousse dessert. Could not have been any nicer! Our service was superb. Our server was polite and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. And the set menu! Looking forward to my next visit!
