    My husband and I had a very enjoyable lunch. A small cup of broth and a brioche (with strawberry butter!) was given to each of us, before we even ordered, and they were delicious. We ordered the cup of soup (autumn squash) with half a tuna fish sandwich and salad. This soup was also excellent, as was the sandwich. This was a birthday meal, and, we were surprised by a free dessert, a custard that was scrumptious. The service was just right, with empty plates being removed and water refilled quietly. I asked to take my sandwich home, and it was beautifully packed. The bill came with three chocolate candies. you couldn't ask for a better experience.
