    My friend and I have been coming for lunch regularly for several years; often our server is Cliff, as it was today. Along with everything else that makes our experience great, Cliff is the icing on the cake; he remembers our favorites and never, ever rushes us. Thanks to all of you.

    It's always a pleasure and a special treat to visit L'Auberge Chez Francois whenever we are in the area. Guests are immediately transported to a place of "old world charm" and French classics presented in a beautiful way, an art which is difficult to find these days. You are welcomed like an old friend stopping by for a delicious meal. There are many great choices on the menu. We ordered the Chateaubriand from the prix fixe dinner menu and savored each bite. The service is always friendly and attentive and never overbearing. Excited to hear about a B& B and Spa being built on the property!

    The entire high tea experience was perfect and ideal. Everything was perfect! The foods outstanding. The tea selection was so many it was hard to choose from. We each were satisfied with our selections and recommendations from our server. It was a wonderful afternoon and I would highly recommend this for a special afternoon with friends and family. Plus they have a no cell phone use policy. It was nice quiet conversations, exactly how dining out should be. Thank you to everyone who made our cold afternoon a delight.
