“This restaurant is breaking the law by charging a fee to use debit card ! Federal law says

“It is illegal for merchants to charge a surcharge for using a debit card in all 50 U.S. states. Federal law, specifically the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, prohibits these surcharges, and card network rules also disallow them. Merchants are permitted to offer a discount for paying with cash instead, or to charge a surcharge on credit cards (in states where this is legal), but they cannot charge a fee for debit card”“

Nice cocktails at the bar before you sit down for the sizzling steaks and garlick mash potatoes, or perfectly seared scallops and pasta, topped with cream brulee, good selection of wines and port. My wife reminds me of her favorite, the lobster bisque. Professional service and live piano music, as per the original owner, Laura's vision.This New Year dinner, I was told that it changed hands but kudos to the new owners, everything was as good... Happy New Year to all...“
