Our booth for four at the window was very comfortable. The waiter, Erik, was very attentive, knowledgeable and responsive with a comfortable manner. The hot toddy and wine was excellent. The French Onion Soup was perfection. We ordered Venison, Pork Chop, Scallops, carrots, salad and pomme frites (great French fries) . Each dish was perfectly prepared and the sauces excellent. Shared Apple Crisp with ice cream for dessert was just the right finishing touch. We recommend this restaurant for an excellent quality dining experience.
