    Bistro du Marche never disappoints. The ambiance transports you to a French village where the staff offer their recommendations, and the chef puts her personal touch on traditional favorites as well as more modern dishes. The fall menu is wonderful, especially the Hokkaido scallops with butternut squash risotto. Plus, save room for the chocolate tart with caramelized bananas or the Ile Flottante.

    Two friends flew in from out of town & I suggested we try C Level. Neither had been before. It was a sunny gorgeous day & we sat out on the patio. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered the lobster Mac & cheese, fish & chips & shrimp & crab Louie salad. Everything was fresh & flavorful. They loved our lunch & would highly recommend it.

    The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the poulet baguette and loved it. I substituted salad for the fries, but my friends had the fries and said that they were exceptional.
