    Our booth for four at the window was very comfortable. The waiter, Erik, was very attentive, knowledgeable and responsive with a comfortable manner. The hot toddy and wine was excellent. The French Onion Soup was perfection. We ordered Venison, Pork Chop, Scallops, carrots, salad and pomme frites (great French fries) . Each dish was perfectly prepared and the sauces excellent. Shared Apple Crisp with ice cream for dessert was just the right finishing touch. We recommend this restaurant for an excellent quality dining experience.

    Celebrating a birthday, Proudfoot & Bird did a fabulous job recognizing the event. A delicious appetizer was provided and a small treat at the conclusion of our dining. Birthday wished given by our server added to a great celebration. Thank you!
