    We had an outstanding meal at Purlieu once again! The appetizer Tempura Shrimp was perfectly cooked. The fish of the day was excellent, cooked just right so it was still lovely, moist and flaky. We finished our dinner with a lovely Butterscotch Creme Brulee. The service was outstanding, thank you Yves!

    We had an early dinner, 5:30. This allowed for a quieter meal and absolutely no rush as my wife and I celebrated her birthday. The service was top notch with plenty of time and suggestions for our choices. The food was superb and we will certainly dine at Purlieu again.
