“This place was absolutely spectacular! From the charming and picturesque inside and the impeccable service to the outstanding food, we were sincerely blown away. Our server spoiled us and went out of his way to make our dining experience one of the best we’ve ever had, and we’ve had our share of fine dining throughout the county. The chef seems very inventive with his menu, and it is very classic French. The sauces brought out so much flavor to each dish and didn’t overwhelm the actual main course. Everything paired perfectly, and each wine selected for us was outstanding. We are going to make it a point to come here once a month. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience!” – J.G.

Not Your Average Restaurant
We were excited to learn all about Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Angie Tersiguel. Angie started our chat by telling us a bit about the history of Tersiguel’s. She told us that her husband’s family had owned a restaurant, Chez Fernand, for 44 years, but that it burned down in 1984. In 1990, they opened Tersiguel’s. In 1997, her husband bought the place from his parents, and in 2008, Angie officially became his business partner and owner of the restaurant.
We wanted to know was what it is that makes Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant stand apart from its competitors. Angie told us about their unique setting. When you eat at Tersiguel’s, you are joining them in their home and dining room, and you are treated like family for your entire visit. Angie said:
“We may know you by name or we may not, but we are going to treat you like we’ve known you for years.”
She told us that they are committed to a mission of always using the highest-quality ingredients as well as providing the best possible service. She told us a bit more about their commitment to quality:
“Dining has been changing a lot recently. People are wanting to see that you are using high-quality ingredients and organic ingredients. That was something that my in-laws were in tune with back in the 1980s, when it was uncommon. We have a small, local farm that is on the property, and from April to October, a majority of the greens and herbs we use come from that farm. Something that has become a fad now is something we’ve been doing for over 30 years!”
Building Success By Providing For Their Customers
Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant has earned an extraordinary reputation over the years, and Angie told us that their secret strong reputation is thanks to their customers. She said:
“We have a passionate customer base. They are passionate about our family and history and the memories they have made here. They get excited about our food and wine. We try to create that excitement in our dining experience.”
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant has managed to. We asked if Angie could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:
“You must be organized and honest. You also need to keep your clients’ expectations grounded. Don’t try to sell them the pie in the sky and then deliver them nothing.”
Congratulations to Tersiguel’s French Country Restaurant for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Angie for taking the time to speak with us!
