| - This is a somewhat hidden gem. It's oddly placed in a tiny stripmall smack dab in the middle of a residential area. I was referred here by a previous coworker. I've been here three times now and have had pretty decent experiences each time. Truffled goat cheese Napolean, um yes please!! The philo puffed pastry is so flaky and buttery, it melts in your mouth.. the goat cheese, mmmmmm! Highly recommended! Service here is hit or miss..
The lobster salad croissant is ok...there are way better things to eat here, take it from me..,I learned the hard way.!
The turkey sandwich on the lunch menu, yum!
The burger is one of the best I've ever had in my life! No lie! The Brie is the icing on the cake, so to speak.. I love my red meat, and they cook it to perfection! I can't even explain how melty in my mouth their tenderloin and mashed potatoes is..
I swear, you can't go wrong with whatever you order!
No cocktails here, it's pretty much a wine specialty place.. however, when I mentioned I'm from Michigan where there are a ton of vineyards up north, the waiter suggested they may be able to order me a special wine! Much to my dismay, the request was declined.
The stocked Riesling is on the sweet side, which is how I like it. If you order a bottle with dinner, they charge a $10 service fee. I don't exactly care for this, but it is what it is. I just would like to be told ahead of time. I've got $10, just let me know!
The view is so pretty. The facility sits on a tiny lake..it's the desert, not the Pacific coast..we take what we can get! Once here for lunch, a friendly duck even came inside to greet patrons! I do enjoy watching the black swans on the lake...but you can't see them at all at night. It can be kind of cold in the winter (even with the provided heaters).. perhaps another glass of wine will warm you up :-)
One of my favorite local places, I'll be back!
