    Christmas Eve dinner. Party of three. High satisfaction level, as usual! Stark’s Seafood and Steak is our holiday meal go to. I make the same thing every holiday…. reservations at Stark’s. Festive decorations, a welcoming holiday atmosphere. Our server was warm, affable, professional without hovering. Just right. We all ordered appetizers, and the mussels were the unanimous winner. Little ones in a sauce worthy of sopping up with a second order of bread. My daughter ordered her favorite butter fish with sticky rice and it met her expectations again. The other two of us had the lobster, so perfectly prepared. Again. Generous portions left us too full for dessert, and memories of a lovely holiday meal . Thank you.

    My wife and I had our annual Christmas dinner at La Gare on Dec 18, 2024. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Amy was our waitress. She was personable and professional. My wife ordered wild king salmon and loved the dish. I had prime rib that was cooked perfect and quite tasty. La Gare never disappoints.
