It sounds crazy because it’s a French restaurant, but the burger is amazing! Cooked to order with quality ingredients and a delicious bun. What surprised me was that the diced lettuce was flavored with a phenomenal sauce! I like a saucy burger, so I added a little ketchup, but it’s their house sauce that slaps. You won’t be disappointed.

What a wonderful evening. Our party of four enjoyed a delicious dinner. Kersey’s two dinner salads are big enough to share, which we did. Two of us had the steak and frites, one had mussels and frites, and the fourth had short ribs. The meats were perfectly done. The mussels were plentiful and tasty. Our wait staff was knowledgeable, provided good recommendations, and knew when to come to the table and when to step back. Our waitress was just simply terrific. The new venue is lovely and provides a warm, airy backdrop to dinner.
