    Went for Valentine’s Day and my fiancé was blown away by the filet! I also loved the food. My risotto was creamy, cheesy and al dente. The other courses were very thoughtfully prepared and flavorful! We recommend this place to anyone who wants great food especially for a date night.

    In spite of the snowy weather, we are so glad we kept our Valentines Day reservation. The staff had gone all out to make the evening a special VD celebration! The food was delicious and came out beautifully served. Our cocktails were terrific too. Our server was helpful and friendly, and provided great service even on this busy night. Thank you for the red rose flower…a nice treat!

    C'est si Bon is a delightful small bistro with attentive, personalized service. Trust the wine recommendations. And, after several visits, I can say the cuisine keeps getting better and better. Order the Savoyard cheese puffs!

    Wow, Friendship Kitchen was an incredible experience! We loved our first time dining there and the owner was so kind to stop and spend time getting to know us & make sure our experience was top-notch. We can't wait to go back for their delicious food again soon. 10/10, highly recommend.
