    Always a special treat for us, we can count on good food, and excellent service. Only drawback is the noise level when the restaurant is really busy. Today's lunch was pleasant as there were fewer diners because of the holiday. We are vegetarians and appreciate having a choice when we go there.

    Flurries he had standing restaurant. The food is beautifully prepared in general, and there are multiple treats along the way. The chef is invented, and the service is impeccable. The only tiny will give is that I ordered the tart tartin which I have had in the past and now it is kind of a deconstructed tart tartan, and I found it quite undercooked, and not nearly as delicious. Still, this is a really delightful, if expensive, Restaurant and I highly recommend it.
