    Good quality Italian food. It has never been cheap however with the impact of inflation on every restaurant they are now reasonably priced also. My wife and I put down 4 Compari Tonics, the house antipasto platter and two pasta entrees with no room left for dessert. $164.before tip.

    Mille Fleurs is a wonderful place to have Christmas Day dinner! The decorations were beautiful, the menu selection vast, and the service excellent as always. They had some seasonal offerings like pumpkin agnolotti and lobster risotto that were exceptional.

    Easy to make reservation ahead of time and get a window seat. The four of us were very pleased with our meals. For being extraordinary busy, we were seated in less than five minutes. The staff were extremely friendly, upbeat and efficient in their roles. My Ahi was perfectly seared. The accompanying fresh vegetables were perfectly seasoned. The Lava Cake always pleases me. Certainly would recommend the Cardiff Chart House .

    Great place to watch sports for sure. Cocktails and beer selection is fantastic! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, outstanding. The shrimp and grits is very authentic New Orleans style. Great burger too. We are adding this to our rotation.
