    I can’t say enough good things about Petite Boucherie—it’s always a favorite, but last night for Valentine’s Day was truly exceptional. The ambiance was so warm, making it the perfect spot for a special evening. We started with the escargot, which was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I had the steak frites, cooked to perfection. And dessert? Incredible we got two A special shoutout to our server, Millie, who was an absolute delight! She was incredibly attentive, kind, and made the experience even more memorable. As a regular at Petite Boucherie, I can confidently say that the service and food are consistently top-tier. Can’t wait to be back again soon! :-)
