Very nice restaurant, extra clean and service is excellent. Food is very good, but it is a bit expensive. The Vegetable Creme is all I've eaten here and it was really good, but it was one of the cheaper things on the menu. Knowing I wasn't full after just the vegetable crepe, there is a wonderful new creamery right beside it, which serves THE BEST ice cream! by Drangulija on 11/19/2007
