We love celebrating our anniversary at Second Empire. The food is always so delicious, and the menu is crafted around local produce, so everything tastes like it is fresh from the garden. The service is excellent and so accommodating, and the ambience is perfect for a quiet dinner for two. We love to sit on the front porch after dinner to people-watch as well.
