The blueberry soufflé is so good! I like that they add the toppings tableside! Makes for a fun presentation.

Food Network celebrity, Chef Carlos Anthony, prepared and served us a raspberry souffle with lemon curd, fresh mascarpone, and house made cream... it was like eating a cloud of deliciousness. Their menu is seasonal, so run (don't walk!) to try it! I'll be dreaming of this ONE dessert forever 😭😍
