    The Melbourne area needed a French restaurant of this caliber. Ever since Continental Flambe' in downtown closed there has not been a place for great French cuisine until Le French opened. I had the escargot, duck confit and profiteroles. All were excellent! My Wife had the onion soup, walnut salad and creme brulee'. Again excellent. I would be hard to make an every day place to eat, but for special occasions it is one of the bet in Brevard county.

    My husband and I went to The Yellow Dog Café for the first time today. My husband had a generous portion of beef tip bourguignon while I had the mahi mahi with lobster saffron cream sauce over rice. Both were exceptional. Our waitress Olivia was very attentive and provided excellent service. We had an awesome experience and we’ll definitely be back soon.
