    My husband and I have been going to La Ripaille for Christmas Eve dinner for a number of years. We had a conflict that night this year, so we decided to go on the Winter Solstice instead so that we didn't skip a year of tradition and it was perfect. The staff are all friendly and professional and they clearly take pride in their work. The owner, Alain, is the ultimate host. He stops by every table, engages his guests in jovial conversation and isn't above clearing plates or getting guests water. He clearly loves his restaurant -- as do we.
