    We had a very nice evening at Suzettes. I made a last-minute reservation , and I'm glad I did. Duke was our server, and he was very attentive and nice. We shared the fondue, and it was very good. I had the quiche of the day, ham and asparagus; and my husband had the soup . We also shared the fresh berry crepe for dessert. It was quite a nice evening. We will be back!

    We appreciate booking in advance so we can secure the alcove table (seats 8). We have 2 hearing impaired guests. Service is outstanding & the food is great. Our steaks were grilled perfectly according to order. The owner stopped by to chat. Before we left complimentary champagne was served so we could toast my daughter's birthday & celebrate Christmas Eve. My only suggestion would be to provide complementary bread for the table which I feel should be included given the price point.

    Had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch at the Ivy. We all enjoyed our entrees very much. I had the Harvest Bowl-all the components were cooked well and the overall dish tasted very fresh and light…which was exactly what I was after. The restaurant decor was beautiful and festive and our server was very friendly. Overall a wonderful family experience!
