We celebrated our 25th anniversary at Cafe Lurcat last night and the service was outstanding. They provided Prosecco for us to toast our celebration at the start of our meal and donuts to finish our meal. The food was excellent and our server was the best. Well done cafe Lurcat. We will be back.

This was our first time at Joan's. Everything about our experience was fantastic! The service was prompt, friendly, and educational. The owner and Chef were interactive with the guests. Both of us agreed that this was the best tasting menu that we have ever experienced. We have eaten at many fine dining restaurants from Alinea on down and truly do feel this was the greatest. The presentation was gorgeous, the wine pairings were spot on, and the lemon dessert brought tears to my wife as it reminded her of her grandmother's recipe. Our anniversary is in 2 weeks. As soon as we got home, we canceled the reservation we had and booked to celebrate at Joan's in the Park! Thank you, ladies, for the grand experience!
