    I’m very sad to say that my experience was not what I had hoped for this restaurant. It was a birthday celebration that was meant to be very special. The food wasn’t very good. My onion soup had one or two onions and was so garlicky, I couldn’t eat it. The smoked salmon was nice. The salads were fine, but overdressed. My seafood main was a collection of fish, shrimp, scallop and lobster in a white lobster sauce. For some reason, it was covered in cheese and dried out in the oven to the point where there was no sauce at all. I was also confused why you would put cheese on seafood. The bouillabaisse was ok. Dessert was unfortunately more of the same. The soufflé was undercooked and mush on the inside and the creme brûlée had so much unmelted sugar on top, it was unpleasant. Very disappointing to drive almost an hour and pay $300 for this meal. I with I had known the food quality when I read the menu online, so I could have avoided this restaurant. The servers were very nice, so no fault to them.

    We had not been to L'Auberge for over 10 years, and it was even better than we remembered! The food was very good, and the presentation was absolutely wonderful. Very good set of choices, clearly explained by the server. The decor was magical, and the whole experience is perfect for a special occasion. We will not wait quite as long for our next visit!

    Unfortunately we were drastically overpriced for the wine we ordered, restaurant served us much more expensive bottles than we ordered and made us pay. Not our mistake!
