Hi All!

Le Cellier for lunch!
My DMom made an ADR there without my knowing about it
So we all started with the Cheddar Cheese Soup
DMom had the Chicken Caesar Salad (which was a HUGE portion!)
DDad had the Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich
And I went off-menu and had then make me the Maple BBQ Filet with Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
