    The escargot were dry compared to multiple other times we’ve dined with you. The Pisco sour was just so-so. Wedge salads were still good if not a little heavy on the onions

    We celebrated my husband's birthday yesterday at Lancelot's. He had prime rib and I had the roasted chicken breast. Both entrees were delicious! Terry was our server and she was excellent. My husband got a complementary dessert, which was really nice. We figured out we have been going to Lancelot's since the 1980s!

    The prime rib is outstanding and the rainbow trout was excellent. Top it off with apple strudel and it was an amazing experience.
