                                  My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! He had the French onion soup and risotto with scallops and asparagus, and I had the specials of pea soup with bacon, and the lamb shoulder. All was delicious!

                                  The duck was cooked to perfection. My dining companions enjoyed their entrees as well : lamb shank and beef burgundy. The French Onion soup was delicious. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their pea soup and field greens salad with pecans, blackberries and Brie cheese. Desserts included the creme brûlée, the apple tart, and the Suzette. All plates were empty after each serving. Highly recommend!
