I almost literally stumbled on this place several years ago and boy am I glad I did. Sure, the price surprised me - but after that first taste I KNEW it was well worth every penny. Their French Onion soup is simply unbelievable. And don't miss the bread stuffing hidden away under the onion. Worth the trip just for that! If you have the cash and the appetite, pony up for one of their combination dinners. The lamb, steak, and lobster are mouthwatering. It comes with dessert - whiskey cake. Now, isn't that a let down? No. I thought it would be - but my God, this is like ambrosia. Also, their Sabayonne is also amazing. (Did I spell that right?) The place is run by the Kinsella family and they aim to please. You are treated like a honored guest, and once they get to know you, like family. This is a special place. Go there now.

Pros: Yummy. Veru yummy.

Cons: Pricey, but worth it.
