    As usual, the experience of a fine mill at L'Auberge and its lovely country setting and interior ambience was fully pleasant. The servers were excellent and the quality of the food was superb. We were six in number, and we ordered a variety of choices, and everyone was totally satisfied. Bravo!

    We had a wonderful lunch today. Food outstanding, service ( our waiter was Abel) perfection and overall dining experience was great! Only comment would be children under 8 should have separate room as two children screaming throughout our meal was not relaxing. I have two grandchildren as well and saw them yesterday at a child appropriate restaurant. Also, a gentleman in our room wore shorts. Not the dress code for your restaurant.

    A special meal sort of spot, tucked away in Great Falls. Incredible service, outstanding food, solid wine list, it's hard to find anything wrong with the Auberge. We went for Mother's Day and were not disappointed. The Cremant d'Alsace is a good way to start - and you can stick with the Alsatian theme throughout if you like. Foie gras was wonderful, and while the soufflé was good, I'd go for the chocolate tart. You won't save any money here but that's not why you came, so enjoy!
