This is a French-inspired New American restaurant. We both work here, it's about a 5 minute walk from our house. It is more upscale, but if you're looking for a nice evening out, this is the place! Also good for a more affordable weekday lunch or Sunday brunch.

Everything Else
A sweet little mountain town down the road -- a little smaller than Boone, possibly, and worth checking out. If you go, check out Kilwin's! You'll smell homemade fudge from the sidewalk.
