This was our first time experiencing this lovely French restaurant:-) We had the escargot with marrow that was incredible. They provide bread with this outstanding butter. We enjoyed the muscles as well with this delicious sauce. Last but not least we ordered the Amish chicken on veggies and mashed potatoes. We will return every month to this spectacular French establishment. Lovely service.
