Our second visit to Travis Swickard’s newest restaurant proved to be even better than the first. This time we had 6 persons vs 3 before which allowed us to sample a number of the dishes we missed before. This included all the side dishes which were delicious a few more if the appetizers and mains as well. Standouts were the Duck Liver Pate, Ham and Cheese, Chilled Leeks and the Rosemary focaccia to start, Wagyu Steak and Frites, Dover Sole and the pasta special with white truffles. The Passionfruit and chocolate lava cakes were great desserts to finish an excellent meal. Shoutout to the knowledgable and friendly sommelier Tracey for choosing an excellent Pinot Noir!!

We had a delicious Brunch for our 39th anniversary at A’Louest on Sunday. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service by our waiter Burke and the others was excellent. The GM came by the table and she was funny, friendly and fabulous. Most of all our food was sooo good! Everything made a perfect morning for my husband and I. Five stars, it wasn’t just another Instagramable restaurant! Good job!

We have a lovely evening at Mister A's. The view on the balcony was stunning. The service was high class - we loved our server Tiffany - she took such great care of us. The food was delicious - and we were more that stuffed. Everything was divine - it was a special treat!
