    Superb as always! The salad was so fresh with a light viniagrette...very refreshing to start the meal. My husband had the steamed mussels with the creamy sauce and I had the scallops with pureed parsnips. Both meals were delicious and the server was attentive and knowledgeable. Always love returning to this restaurant for wonderfully prepared meal.
