The parking situation is a bad start. Our waiter had an attitude but he could not affect our intensions to have fun. Food was yummy. Chairs too low for the table. A little cold. Did I mention the parking?????🤬

We had the octopus, shrimp, and rib appetizers along with the Branzino. Everything was delicious and tasty. The apple pie bread pudding was out of this world. We only didn’t like the pesto on the bottom of most dishes which overpowered the wonderful taste of the meal. Service was awesome too!

I just can’t say enough about our experience at Le Jardinier. Service, food & ambience is always at the top, so happy for their Michelin award and not surprised. We brought my brother-in-law in as we knew he would love it as much as we do. Can’t wait to come back again which will be very soon.
