    We really enjoyed the diverse menu at Augie's. In fact, our entire dinner was nothing but appetizers: duck liver, snails, sweetbreads, minced rabbit, oysters, frog legs, and French onion soup. I might pass on the escargot and rabbit next visit, but the soup, frog, and sweetbreads were the best we've ever had - anywhere! We are still raving about what a great find this restaurant is. Definitely go for the happy hour. Half-priced drinks and oysters. You can't go wrong. Excellent service too.

    Absolutely stunning setting for lunch on the patio ! The wait staff were attentive and the food very good . The resort staff were so kind to us and walked us around the grounds when we inquired and could not have been warmer to us. We loved our lunch and our little tour (thank you Josh !!)
