    Best escargot ever. Beef Bourguignon really is to die for any time of year. Eggplant appetizer was even better than last time. Wonderful wine by the glass selections. Service was perfect and we came home with sweets for breakfast from the bakery (bonus points). Mademoiselle is our comfort food any time of year.

    I have read all the people complaining about Rocco’s Taco’s and have to say the experience I had was wonderful. We arrived for our reservation on time and was greeted by the friendly hostess and were immediately brought to our table. Within a few minutes our server Valentina arrived with waters and menus. We ordered chips and table guacamole which was outstanding. We order tacos for the table and all were fresh and tasty. The server checked on us multiple times to make sure all was great. The food tasted great, the drinks were great and service was outstanding. I highly recommend for a lunch or dinner out.

    While it was a Saturday night the restaurant was only half full. Because of the orientation of the front door of the restaurant facing west, the sun shone on many tables and in the eyes of patrons. The menu offerings were varied and quite good but Ben prepared for quick delivery if you would prefer a more leisurely dining experience.
