bouillon MOULIN

French restaurant

👍 You know you made a good choice when you go to a French restaurant and the family at the table next to you is French! They recommended Ile Flottante for dessert and it was so amazing, unlike any dessert you've had before! The Profiteroles are also delightful. Baba Au Rhum is good but has an extreme...

Delice Breton

👍 It's a lovely French restaurant offering a classical breakfast. I appreciate that it also functions as a small French marketplace where you can buy some goodies. We ordered the Croque Madame, Ham & Cheese Crepe, and Beignets. While it was a tasty breakfast, I recommend ordering a salad with the Croq...

Butcher’s House Brasserie

French restaurant

😠 UPDATE 12/2/2023 - The chef on Saturday must be different or new because the food was TERRIBLE today. Soggy fries, soggy burger bun which self destructed while trying to eat it. Salad dressing had no flavor and the burger patty itself was very tough. I no longer recommend this place! Old review:...

8th Haus Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 I loved, loved this place. Great food served in a beautiful presentation. I learned that everyone tastes the food before is added to the menu and if everyone is not in agreement, the dish doesn't make it to the menu. I also saw elderly working, how beautiful to see the employee support. I really en...
