Varied cuisine--more continental than French--is served in toned-down surroundings.

The Scene
Two adjoining dining areas are pleasant, but the room that often hosts private parties can be noisy. The decor is low-key. The patio boasts a more romantic atmosphere, with live oaks and a rippling brook where live music serenades patrons Friday and Saturday evenings. The quaint bakery with a separate entrance and menu features French pastries, mousse tarts and cheesecakes.

The Food
The appetizer plate, which includes pâté, Brie, delectable salami, seafood salad, hearts of palm and marinated mushrooms, is filling for two. Entrees come with a nice house salad of mixed greens, which go well with the tarragon vinaigrette dressing, and several vegetables, including tender asparagus spears. The red veal medallions are a bit stringy and the champagne cream sauce is overcooked. But charbroiled steaks are tasty, especially the tender 12-ounce bison. The dessert to die for is Crumpets Delight--caramelized custard-sponge cake and strawberries topped with whipped cream.

Opentable Reservations

The restaurant's relaxing ambiance, due largely to the abundant stands of live oak, waterfalls and ponds with lush landscaping, complements the continental cuisine that has offered lunch and dinner every day since 1980. Individual Beef Wellington, Fettucine Alfredo and Shrimp Sauvignon are some of the enduring favorites . The ‘Trilogy', a very special entrée with rack of lamb, lobster tail and beef tenderloin is ideal for those with a heartier appetite.

A familiar retreat for business luncheons and social events, the lunch menu offers daily lunch specials. The Sunday Brunch boasts five courses. Full table service and live music makes it one of the city's preferred brunches.

Enhancing the Crumpets experience is the 140 vintage wine list, a complete bar and the decadent European desserts made on-site in the attached bakery. Crumpets Delight and Chocolate Mousse Cake are a few of the favorites.
