Have the shrimp scampi appetizer! It is fantastic. I had it after learning they removed my favorite shrimp bruschetta from the menu. Beth was great.

All 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Brandon was our server and took excellent care of us. It was a monthly teacher outing and we chose to come back after our 1st great experience!

The tortilla soup is outstanding as is the Vin Noir wine of the month. Their sandwiches and burgers are great. Highly recommend for dinner or lunch.

Another great night at Mademoiselle. Our waitress was lovely and the service was perfect. Their bread baguette is to die for....
