    Party of four celebrated my wife's birthday with a first-time visit to Augie's. Shared some of the best oysters ever tasted. We can highly recommend the mushroom soup, beef bourginon, frog legs, duck confit and the muscles with fries among the menu choices. Crepes Suzette was an excellent finishing touch.

    Excellent wines, affordable prices, and fantastic staff. The experience at Loxton is what a tasting should be. Knowledgeable and passionate people who want to share their love of wine. It’s a great place to visit if you value personalized attention and a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Top notch wines that are as good as (or better than) wines that are significantly more expensive.
