Ordered the ahi tuna salad, portion was big and it was very tasty. Dressing had a nice kick to it. The fish and french fries were excellent too, the fish was cooked perfectly and flaky. The peanut butter ice cream was very rich and the portion was huge (size of a big slice of cake plus a cup of whipped cream!) so good to share with 3-4 persons.

Met a friend for lunch on a holiday. Reservation was easy to make, though venue did change seating from outside to inside (it was freezing outside, so no worries!). Food menu had plenty of variety and creative dishes, including a hot drinks menu. Entrees all looked intriguing and dessert menu would have sold itself if I hadn't been so full! Food was cooked perfectly (I had the Steak Frites with fall vegetable side) and I really enjoyed the range of texture and flavor. Seating was sufficiently apart so that the noise level was not bad at all. Prices were reasonable for the food provided. Lastly, service was informed, efficient and polite/friendly. Plenty of parking, even on a day where a lot of snow was still on the ground. Definitely no complaints and I will be back again! I recommend this restaurant (Montgomery County venue) without reservation!
