    My husband and I really enjoyed our meal. I had the boeuf bourguignon and scalloped potatoes which were delicious! My husband had the shrimp risotto and broccoli au gratin. To start, we ordered the goat cheese toast which was also delicious. Typically, I can only eat half of a meal but the portions were perfect and ate every single bite. We have already planned on what we will order for our next meal so can’t wait to go back soon. The atmosphere is quirky, which we really love. We really love it here and happy it is in our hometown of Milford.
