    This is an elegant French restaurant which offers a variety of French cuisine. For appetizers we love the crab cake and escargot’s. The Ceaser salad which is prepared at the table is delicious. Our favorite entrees are the Steak Diane Flambè which is prepared at the table, and Le Liaison Iron Gate. Do not forget to order the soufflés for dessert. They are the best we have tasted…It is definitely a special experience.
