    This was our first time trying La Fontaine and it was fantastic. It was Christmas Eve so pretty busy. Got seated right away and the restaurant is very warm and friendly. The service was good, water and bread right away. The food was amazing! Good wine list too. Definitely going back. Already have plans for birthdays.

    Reve is such a local gem. Excellent service, prompt and efficient. They nailed the moules frites and and scallop risotto. Very easy to make pretty good, it takes skill to make it sublime. A round of clicks for the chef!

    Raymond James, Fizz’s owner, is so very knowledgeable about all of the various champagnes he carries. It’s truly a beautiful tasting experience as the interior of the tasting room is serene and elevated in style and design.
