We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Mister A’s, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. A special thank you to our server, Gabriel, who went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. His attentiveness and professionalism made the experience even better. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Highly recommend Mister A’s! We will definitely be back!

Little Frenchie was definitely a treat! We had the hot chocolate service and the French dip, both a first and both equally delicious! Worth the 4 hour drive to try!

Not the first time at the Born & Raised. As previously, service and food were outstanding. For 4, we got two appetizers, dry aged ribeye, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. All were delicious. First time I ordered a bottle of wine, sommelier recommendation based on our preference was right on target!

How did we just discover this place? Amazing French restaurant. Quiet. Friendly staff. Our waiter Allen was so helpful. We enjoyed the baked brie, the French Onion Soup (although the vegetarian was disappointed), the Scallops, and the mushroom Fettuccine. We'll definitely be back.
