One is right up my alley -- Ice Cream Tiramisu Cake. She is psychic. Let's do it, it’s meant to be!

It is simple bistro food executed perfectly, time and again, supplemented by an amazing wine menu and cocktail list. Set in Walpole, NH, which epitomizes small town New England, it is an event to come here.
