Brussels sprouts had outstanding flavor. Little Gem Salad was prepared excellently. Wild Mushroom Risotto was creamy and tasty. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The six baby profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream were luscious. Thank you, as always, for a sublime experience.

The servers are very nice and welcoming. Food is excellent - baked eggs and the coffee were delicious. Only challenge is to get a reservation. I wish they had a bigger restaurant with the same staff, but more cooks and bigger kitchen.
