LIKE IT!!!
For the first "Try it, you might like it" Dinner Club meeting, I chose something close to home. This place is a warm, cozy, cute little French restaurant in Mills Place (next to Burke Williams). The atmosphere was absolutely lovely and they sat our party of 12 in the back booth. I had a taste of everyone's meal...because you know...that's how I roll. I think the best entree was the Mussells! Oh wait...and the escargot...wait also the La Mer Crepe...you know what, you name it, all the food was pretty good there and the company was fabulous. I highly recommend the place to got for a nice lunch or maybe to have some fine wine at the bar (they've got a good selection).



We ate so many mussells!!

MOULIN bananas, dark rum and vanilla ice cream....All gone but YUMMY!!
