After our lunch there the other day we decided to make reservations. When we arrived the owner Stephen had a lovely table with our favorite wine waiting for us. We had an amazing dinner of amuse bouche, fish, duck and lamb. It was an delicious food and a wonderful experience.

Another wonderful day on France!
