    Great French experience! We went for a valentines date night and had a great time. We sat in the lobby, which seemed awkward at first, we ended up enjoying it with the live jazz. I liked that our server didn’t rush us and let us enjoy our cocktails and apps. The owner talked to us at our table. She was really sweet and made us feel welcome. I would recommend for French inspired cuisine.

    We had a delicious meal at Le Relais tonight. I had the goat cheese salad and the trout which were both excellent. My husband had the French onion soup and pasta which he said were superb. Our friends had the goat cheese salad and the duck and a filet. They thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. Our server went above and beyond to accommodate the food allergies at the table which we very much appreciated. He was pleasant and very attentive and polite. Our compliments to the Chef.

    For the first time we attended your “ Last Friday Lunch” & we loved everything about our dinning experience! We have been to dinner there several times, but lunch worked for us. We will be back.
