What You or Others love about this Restaurant:

My husband is a VERY picky eater. I was afraid that he wouldnt like this place. I really thought we would have to drive through a Burger King on the way home! He ordered the duck and fell in love. I will always order the baked lobster ravioli. My parents came to visit and they really enjoyed it as well. It's fairly fancy, especially for the town and neighborhood it's in. This place is literally in the corner of a strip mall in the middle of no where. But we are so lucky we found it. It's the kind of a place where you order a cheese platter and they pair wines to match. We go back for all of our special occasions, but we have seen people walk in wearing jeans and ball caps. This resturant single handedly opened my husband's mind about cheese. Odd, I know. But he wasnt about to eat a single piece of cheese before we visited with a group of friends. We all ordered a different one on the cheese platter and pressured my husband into trying a few. When we went back a second time, he had a favorite cheese. And the third time, he was able to try them all. And the weekend after that, we had a cheese and wine party of our own at home.
