We've eaten here a few times because the place is charming and the menu food and prices are great. However , This seemed to be a off night. The crab soup was promised to have chunks of lump crab in it. There were only shreds. The trout almondine was very dry. However, the shrimp provencal was excellent. The service was excellent as well. We will go back.
