We love Justine's and it is our goto restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I LOVE the French onion soup and my wife loves the duck. The desserts are to die for. I had the creme brûlée and she had the chocolate mousse during our recent visit.

The restaurant was very nice, beautiful setting. The birds were a bit much as they were landing on the tables around us. The food was good, came out quickly. The appetizer was not our favorite but our sandwiches were very good. Value for the money is good. The server was very nice, very capable.
