First timers and now we will be regulars! The hospitality, atmosphere and fare were outstanding! From the knowledgeable staff, the welcoming management and the hostess that went WAY above and beyond to be sure my disabled husband was accommodated from when we booked our reservation to the end of our dining experience - we couldn’t have been more delighted! See you again soon, Lardon!
Filled out the NYE charcuterie board form too late but after giving them a call, the lovely manager made it happen for us. Everything was delicious.
Very small plastic cups of Chardonnay that were half filled for $13 each??? 7 cups = $91!!!! Horrible. Green salad wasn’t good. Ruben sandwich wasn’t good. Very disappointed.
