🍷 Recommended Dishes
During our visit, we tried:
- Apple Cinnamon Shortcake – Fall-themed cake with caramel cream, spiced apple, and a hint of liqueur from apple-shaped bonbons. A salty pretzel on the side refreshes the palate.
- Cinderella Parfait – Served after 9 PM, it features milk ice cream, brandy-infused Jersey cream, and fresh strawberries. Elegant and not overly sweet.
