La Bonne Table
I’ve walked past La Bonne Table on many occasions, as my auto repairer is just around the corner, and a glance through their windows into their dining areas already had me impressed. It was always on my list of places to visit, and tonight, I finally found my way there. La Bonne Table is located…
