the inside of the doughnut was seriously like having creme brulee in a doughnut, and it was the best coffee icecream i've ever had. ”

After the soup dish was cleared we asked a couple of times for the wine menu to order more wine by the glass. ”

Great food, Great staff. ”

The food is decent. ”

Blairs has Good food. ”
