The lobster bisque and lemon meringue pie were absolutely amazing!! My sandwich was also really good, but a little light on the cheese and heavy on the apple butter. My only complaint was that it took a long time to get our food. But they were very busy and the food was worth the wait! For being in the Midwest, I can't believe how good the bisque is!

This was the place--they really know their stuff-- offered suggestions for mat color, whether we wanted it 'weighted' (just slightly more border on the bottom so the print sits), and then walked us through various frame options. Both listened to us and made good suggestions. We even discussed whether to splurge on less-reflective glass (we did for one print, not the other given where they live on the wall). They did a beautiful job. This is the only place I would go--the front store full of fake flowers isn't our thing (though they do have live plants and nice pots), but the framing shop is independent, been around a long time, and really know what they are doing.
