My wife and I were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and we did not know where to go. We just happened to be in the Auburn area and decided to check out tripadvisor.com to help us make our decision.

Small owner-run gem of a restaurant. Duffy, the owner/chef, has cooked all over Europe and America. Returned to his home town and opened this eatery. The capacity is fairly small, so reservations are recommended. I had the tenderloin of beef medalions which were well-prepared and delicious. My wife had one of the veal specialties which was superb. Generous portions, you... more
