    As usual Bistro Jeanty did not disappoint. Went here last night for my wife’s birthday and had a wonderful experience. Our server Alexa was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable and attentive and we really felt well cared for. The sweetbreads dish was the best I’ve ever eaten and the chocolate croissant bread pudding just put everything over the top. Thank you Bistro Jeanty and Alexa for providing us with a memorable time, we will be back soon.

    We came for Valentine’s Day . My wife had the short ribs and I had the pork tenderloin along with the French onion soup and beet salad . In a word, everything was fabulous . But I especially wanted to call out the French onion soup. It was dynamite. I mean I’ve had mediocre French onion soup and the kind that takes significant time and effort to make. This was definitely the latter. It was so good, and prepared with cheese on top and sitting on bread soaked in the soup. Felt like we were at a bistro in Paris. And the cozy farmhouse atmosphere and moderate noise level made for a very romantic outing. Will come back again for sure.

    Party of four celebrated my wife's birthday with a first-time visit to Augie's. Shared some of the best oysters ever tasted. We can highly recommend the mushroom soup, beef bourginon, frog legs, duck confit and the muscles with fries among the menu choices. Crepes Suzette was an excellent finishing touch.
