My one and only time I went to Rue Dumaine the food was absolutely exquisite! A pleasure on your taste buds and the wines were perfect with each course!

I’ve been to Rue Domaine twice. I never knew food could taste so amazing. It’s a party for your taste buds! What Tess said (below) is true…the food is truly inspiring. I attempted to copy their Belgian Endive salad at home. I didn’t even come close to the amazing flavor of Rue Domaines…but it was fun trying!

I don’t agree with this results. My husband and I dine out a lot and consider ourselves Foodies. We love Madison’s Bistro the best!

We love Coco’s and second is L’ Auberge.. L’Auberge has the best lobster bisque I have ever tasted.

Just found El Meson and we love it there

There is no restaurant in Montgy. County compared with L’Auberge. If you want to really go on a splurge go to L’Auberge. Just walk in the front or side Bistro door and you will feel the ambience immediately. From Josef to his staff of waiters and waitresses, bar tenders, wine experts, they always make you feel special. Their cooks are the best.

Rue Dumaine is not just a splurge restaurant. Too many people are intimidated by the name and Anne’s celebrity chef status. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious and everyone is welcome. Instead of going to a local chain restaurant a couple of times a week, go to Rue Dumaine. Anne Kearney is a phenomenal chef and her food is inspiring.

Go back to the totally awesome '80s this weekend [things to do]

80s fashionista

"Back to the '80s," an area premiere, opens Friday, Nov. 6, for three weekends in Kettering. The retro show is an account of 1989 high school senior class, as recalled by a man in his 30s. Unrequited love, popularity (and its opposite), a debate about CDs replacing cassette tapes, student elections, a stolen speech, new kids in school and an English teacher in a magazine centerfold are among the plot lines. There are 20 songs, including "Footloose," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." Like, totally awesome! » More

Other shows:

"Man of La Mancha"
