L’Auberge never fails to deliver an outstanding dining experience — old favorites (house aperitif, chocolate soufflé) as well as seasonal specials (Beef Wellington). Extensive, varied and interesting wine list and knowledgeable sommelier available to advise. A thoroughly enjoyable evening with friends.

Kalin what is wonderful and kept all of our requests and his mind and quickly presented. We were surprised how busy it was, but the staff was efficient and they knew how to handle all the tables. There were five in our group. We all ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our dinners. We will go back!
