Reviews
A hidden gem, have been many times and the food has been consistently amazing. The parking is limited and somewhat awkward, but once you are inside everything is world class ... the staff, the decor, the atmosphere are all worthy of the 5 stars.
This place is tucked away adorably at the market. I thought, well it's so close to the market it must be a tourist trap? Nope. Guess it's been around too long to be such. Delicious authentic food, coffee, and a bright atmosphere with considerate staff members. One of few memorable meals had in my week in Seattle. My colleague recommended this place. Will be recommending to others! Thanks.
We’ve been hearing great things for years and finally thought we’d try Scutra for a birthday dinner. Delicious dinner and great service. Appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts and drinks were enjoyed by all. Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable.
I loved everything about this location. The food was delicious and their offerings have something for everyone. The food came out fairly quickly considering how busy the location was. Our waitress and the sommelier were both helpful in answering questions about pairings or dishes. I highly recommend trying their sipping chocolate as you may overlook it! While the venue is smaller and can get a bit loud due to acoustics, they do a fairly nice job of maximizing the space they have.
The food here is absolutely amazing! Time and time again we leave and are always talking about how good it was even days later. Louie Paparella’s martinis are quite possibly the best I’ve had (especially the Jean De Bon)! Excellent all around!
Everything was absolutely delicious! The fondue was heavenly. We were a party of 5 and not one single complaint. Great service, good vibes. Well worth the trip across the river!
To be it’s more than overrated. Maybe I do not know how to appreciate the French cuisine. I tried onion soup, omelette, duck confit and crab quiche. They were all ok.
Incredible food in a cozy spot off Alberta. Had to find some comfort food for a visitor from Poland, Kotlet = Schnitzel and their schnitzel is on point. Everything we tried was delicious, even as we branched out to the less standard fair (the scallops were amazing!). It all managed to be both satisfying/filling comfort food without being 'heavy'. Already planning a return trip to try the fondue...
Excellent soup, salads, and mains. The steak frites is always good and was tonight. Fish special tonight was a perfectly prepared sockeye salmon filet. The dining room was lively and not too loud. I’m glad I saved room for the super smooth crème brûlée for dessert. It was a lovely evening with a friend from out of town who said he’ll definitely be back to Café Campagne.
What an amazing dining experience. When I accidentally put the reservation in for the wrong day, they were super accommodating. The hostess sat us right away, and the server was outstanding. His recommendations really made the meal special.
This place is amazing. The French onion soup was the best I ever had. Salmon with dill was cooked to perfection, so tender. It was the best salmon I’ve ever had. Fondue was good, even their house-made sauces were splendid.
Service was impeccable. She was very attentive and kind <3
Thank you SO much for a great experience.

A bit overrated. Having lived in Switzerland I can tell you that you should smell the cheese drown the block if it's as authentic as in Switzerland. I couldn't taste the garlic or nutmeg. Usually eating fondue is like drinking good white wine with strong smelly cheese like VACHERIN FRIBOURGEOIS.
Unfortunately, they gave me the wrong order, plain pork schnitzel. Total cost fondue and 1 plate of plain schnitzel plus beer and wine was $70.00 not including tip. I wish more restaurants would give more authenticity and stop catering to bland American tastes.

Came here for brunch and it was a total disappointment. I ordered their house special, the crabmeat avocado toast, and the french onion soup. The avocado toast was SO bad - lack of flavor and tasted just like grass. Please take it off the menu. The French onion soup has nothing to write home about. My friends ordered their quiches. The quiches were decent. Will not return.
Excellent food. The tuna poke nachos - the lobster arancini , the pesto chicken —- all excellent. The cocktails were also delicious. Great environment - very nice servers. All around would def recommend!
It was an amazing culinary experience. Hospitality was genuine and friendly (even chef Franco spent time talking to everyone while still touching the kitchen), cuisine was beautifully presented, very tasty and prepared with the freshest ingredients, premium wine pairing was perfect and worth the splurge, kitchen was very clean, ambiance was great, fun evening filled with delicious food and superb hospitality!
Wonderful experiencing dining out at Forest! Our server, Vince, was fun and knowledgeable and able to make meals that didn’t fully exist for us. The food was amazing! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the truffle pasta was to die for. The atmosphere was very upscale and chill, and they played great music. Will definitely dine here again!
My husband and I just celebrated our anniversary at Frevo and had a memorable experience. We sat at the chef’s counter, watched the staff prepare our dinner and enjoyed this amazing tasting menu. Everything was impeccable: from flavor to food presentation to dishes to wine glasses and silverware. And service was flawless. Servers were very attentive and made us feel at home having this exquisite meal. We’ll definitely be back!
Briefly, if you're looking for a place that's Instagram-worthy, this is a great spot. However, if you and your companions are serious foodies, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Compared to the price you pay, it won’t be worth it in case you are a food enthusiast.
I recently had a dinner at this restaurant that I felt was overpriced at $300, including the extra charges, tip, and tax. Although I've dined at several Michelin-starred fine dining establishments, this one was one of the priciest considering the overall quality of the menu items. Unfortunately, the taste of all the dishes was average, despite their beautiful presentation, artistic gallery, and great atmosphere.
It seemed like they used various high-quality ingredients, but they didn't quite hit the mark. For example, the steak was not as juicy or tender as I had hoped. I also chose the truffle ravioli, for which I additionally paid $55. I thought the white truffle and sauce were good, but the ravioli was not even better than any average ravioli I had in other Italian restaurants.
On the bright side, I did enjoy their petit four made with basil, which was quite interesting.
While the service and atmosphere were good, the waiting time for each course and taste wasn't worth the price. To be honest, I had a much better experience with the $150 lunch course at The Modern in NYC, which earned two Michelin stars and had amazing service.
Still, I admit that their art gallery-type entrance and the menu catalog with the paintings at the gallery were definitely awesome. However, to be honest, if my friends or family ask, I don’t want them to waste their money in NYC which has plenty of options to enjoy a special dinner.

I ate here for breakfast. I found that I didn’t have options and ended up getting a plate with a toast, ham and eggs. The menu for breakfast was not great. I recommend the hot chocolate. It was good! Also, we got the pancake plate and it was really big. We shared it with 4 people and still had left overs for the next day.
I dined here with my family. We ordered the calamars à la provençal, soupe du jour, and duck confit. We all enjoyed the three dishes we ordered greatly although we found the prices more on the expensive side. The service was polite and professional. This restaurant offers complementary bread and butter, which we all appreciated.
I had the pleasure of dining at Forest in Birmingham, Michigan, for a dinner date with my husband, and it was a truly elegant and memorable experience. The restaurant exuded an air of sophistication.
The food was nothing short of amazing, and the service matched the high quality of the cuisine. I had the salmon, which was delicious and left a lasting impression. My husband opted for the New York strip, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Overall, our evening at Forest was simply amazing, combining excellent food and top-notch service. It's a place that offers a remarkable dining experience, perfect for a special night out.

Wonderful experience! We enjoyed several different dishes that they easily made gluten free for us. Everything from the service to the food was amazing! I was so happy that they have a good amount of gluten free choices and were very accommodating with any questions we had about ingredients in different dishes. Highly recommend for a great date night! 1st floor so easily handicap accessible and also had handicap accessible parking available right outside.
Definitely snag a reservation or get there right when they open. Super close to Pike Place Market so decent spot to meet up or bring people from out of town if you’re doing the touristy rounds.
For how busy they are the service is fantastic.
I thought the house made sausage was particularly good. Lamb burger was cooked to order and super juicy and flavorful. Omelets are fluffy but on the smaller side. Croque Madame was fantastic. Also, all the pastries come with generous portion of delicious butter and jam.
You won’t regret giving it a try.

My husband and I love visiting Michelin-starred restaurants and for his birthday this year, I wanted do something really special. After an exhaustive search, I finally found Frevo. A restaurant hidden behind an art gallery that seats 24 people while offering a truly unique Chef's table experience? Yes please! My husband was beyond impressed! Every detail, from the decor to the service and back down to the food was impeccable and so carefully thought out. If you plan to go, I strongly recommend doing the wine pairing. Each offering of wine paired perfectly with the course. We've already said that we can't wait to go back, I enjoyed myself beyond measure!
the food was great. I tried the madame croque and the ouefs brouilles. the flavor overall was great. liked their sausages as well. eggs were made beautifully. no complaints with the food. the pilsner they serve is also very nice!
the service was amazing, the host was very friendly and helpful. our server was also very helpful and knowledgeable. the food was out quickly.
the atmosphere in here is actually very charming. its located in post alley and has a very french looking interior. a sunny day hits perfect here.
overall, a very good pick for all occassions. definitely recommend to tourists, weekend brunchers and locals.

What a great restaurant! We reserved a table for my wife's birthday. We had a fabulous meal .. great cocktails, delicious appetizers and entrees .. the service from our server, Louie, was amazing. He was so personable it felt like he was an old friend. This was a very special birthday meal thanks to Louie and an amazing kitchen.
I’ve walked past this little spot on Alberta for years and never thought to try it until now. And boy have I’ve been missing out!
The food is absolutely delicious: a soft warm roll with their signature house made sauces; crisp, fresh, and simple green salad; perfectly cooked chicken Wienerschnitzel with browned butter and lemon, served with warm Spätzli, which I had never tired before but loved; warm profiteroles that you’ll want to eat more of even though you’re full! I also appreciated the selection of Swiss wines, which is definitely something I haven’t seen on a menu before.
All of this topped off with warm, kind, and friendly staff who are more than happy to answer questions and help you decide what to try. I am so glad I finally made the time to try this spot out; I can’t wait to come back and work through all the other items on the menu and try some of their specials! Don’t wait on this place like I did, you won’t regret spending an evening here.

Make a reservation for this cozy place with a relaxing atmosphere and very delicious food. Staff is friendly and had great recommendations. First time I've ever had fondue and it did not disappoint. Don't leave without trying the raspberry tart.
Loved Kafe Leopold! If you want a euro-experience in the heart of DC then this is the place for you. The food was delicious and the service was great. We can’t remember her name but the waitress from Estonia was very nice! I highly reccomend the schnitzel with the limonberry sauce. I wish they had free refills on the soda but the euro-portions of soda was part of the experience!
One of the best experience we ever had. The attention and the food was out of this world. It was my birthday weekend and they celebrate with us.
We had been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants around the world but Frevo is one of the top for us.

This place was really good! The portions were great and super flavorful. Service was very. Ice. Was a little dusty inside but it was fine. Great location right down in pikes place market.
This was one of the best fine-dining experiences I had in a very long time. Food was delicious from start to finish, each dish brought something special. Wines were very interesting, definitely got the chance to try wines from regions I haven’t tried before. Service was great, atmosphere was very nice too. This was one of those restaurants that I would visit again when I am in NYC again. Don’t think too much, just book it!
Wanted to go here for years and finally made it! All of our food was perfect. Service interaction was a little awkward with a mix of counter service and table service, but everyone was friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.
Let's begin with the food. Every dish was an absolute masterpiece. The flavors were expertly balanced, showcasing a level of culinary expertise that is truly commendable. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was exquisite, adding an aesthetic appeal to the already delicious dishes. The menu showcased a diverse range of options, catering to various dietary preferences, and the quality of each dish was consistently exceptional. Great place for a date. ✨
What a lovely meal! First of all the decor is absolutely stunning. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the door by the owner who was very warm and welcoming and seated us very quickly (we had a reservation). All of the cocktails were sooo fun and different and we enjoyed ours. I had the lychee one and my mom got the Pretty Woman. The skirt steak and fries was good and my mom enjoyed her avocado salad. Overall such a lovely experience for our first night in NY!
Lovely spot just steps away from the frenzy of Georgetown where you can get a little taste of European cafe life. I like coming here for breakfast before the crowds arrive. It gets packed! Especially if it’s a sunny day and you want to sit on the patio. The pastries are nice. Love the little tea sandwiches.
If you're looking for a wonderful place to spend a nice day, look no further than Kafe Leopold. This cozy cafe offers a variety of delicious dishes, from entrees and breakfasts to pastries and desserts. Trust me, you won't want to miss their Chocolate Temptation - it's heavenly! The staff at Kafe Leopold are warm and professional, and the service is impeccable. My wife and I had a blast there, and we can't wait to go back the next time we're in DC.
Short rib is great. Bread is also great. Service is really good not like that I read before. Beef wellington is ok for the price but the taste is normal
very tasty food, in a quaint location. I am not a big fan of counter service at fine dining prices, so lost a point for service there. The fondue and jaeger schnitzel were both very good, as was the potato leek soup. I wished they served butter with their bread - having squeeze bottles of dressing brought to the table detracted from the experience. Had to ask for salt & pepper, there was not any at the table either.
Absolutely loved this experience! You tuck away in here and forget you're in busy NYC. Food is incredible (yes...get those mini chicken kievs over potatoes) and service was stellar! Can't wait to return!!
That was such a special dining experience. One of the best restaurants I've been to in my 5 years living here in NYC.
Quentin and team took excellent care of us and made it feel like a true 3-star Michelin experience. Extremely happy we did the wine pairing. Couldn’t have picked a better restaurant to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. Can’t wait to come back!!!

My friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here and made a reservation for 8 people two months ago. We get there 15 minutes before our reservation time and were told it will be a ten minute wait. We stood outside for an hour and 15 minutes waiting to be seated which was completely ridiculous. People make reservations and such so the restaurant can be prepared. The owner did genuinely apologize and made the situation right. Which was appreciated. We received two bottles of champagne on the house along with a round of shots for the table. The drinks were delicious and creative! My favorite part of the night. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was okay. This is definitely a nice place to take pics! I would possibly come back for the drinks and appetizers.
We had a large party celebrating a family birthday. They did an excellent job accommodating both the size and timing required for a nicely paced meal. Our pastas were excellent and everyone had a great evening.
Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Great outdoor seating and menu options were abundant including the daily specials.
I had the wagyu beef carpaccio and the duck breast which was delicious

Sveta was nothing short of wonderful. From the ambiance to the service and the food, everything was perfect from start to finish.
Great place for brunch. They offer a bottomless option for $60, which includes unlimited brunch drinks for 90 mins and a dish of your choice.

I came to this restaurant on a Thursday afternoon after looking at the reviews online. I had high hopes as the reviews were good however, my experience did not live up to those expectations.
I sat in the bar area and started with a mocktail, here lies the first problem. My request for a mocktail, since I'm pregnant, turned into confusion and an across the room conversation with a woman who I assumed to be a bar manager or another employee off duty. I typically ask a waiter if they can make a mocktail and if they have a creative bartender. I am completely open to anything the bartender would make within a specific flavor profile. I ended up getting sparkling water mixed with pineapple juice. Completely fine, but just not what I expected based off the reviews.
I ended up eating the French onion soup which came out fast and was good for what it was.
Finally, I had asked my waiter what his favorite item was out of the specials on the menu and he randomly pointed to one, the fettuccine and shrimp, and said "that would be interesting." Again, this is not what I expect when I read the review about service. I would have been more than happy to have a $50+ tab however, I ended up leaving shortly after finishing the soup because I didn't feel that my experience would have improved.

From start to finish, the service and food were absolutely impeccable. I can't say enough about our server, John. He was so funny and entertaining, while also thoughtful and attentive.
For example, I love this cocktail called Paper plane, but it is not super well-known. We showed John the ingredients and he said "Oh yeah, we can do that". Then, he brings over the cocktail complete with a Paper plane on top and playing the song "Paper planes" on his phone. Next level service! Not to mention, the cocktail was the best Paper plane I ever had.
The fresh, warm bread was top-notch and our appetizer was incredible (got the strudel special). The eggplant/tomato salad exploded with flavor and was so good with the bread.
For entrees, I had one of the specials, salmon with lobster ravioli in a saffron cream sauce. It was so rich, flavorful, and just amazing... and such a value for the reasonable price. My husband had the beef wellington. When it came out, the presentation alone left us in awe. Such a beautiful dish. It was cooked perfectly and it was by far one of the most delicious meals he ever had. I had a couple bites and couldn't agree more.
Then... coffee and dessert. We had the strawberry shortcake. Best ever... and I've had a lot of strawberry shortcakes in my life. Had this fresh strawberry sauce that gave it some tart... all of the sauces in all of the dishes were phenomenal.
When we received the bill, we really thought it was such a great value with all that we ordered. Especially with the quality, taste and presentation of the top-level cuisine.
I do not typically write reviews, and certainly not ones that are this long, but felt compelled to. We had one of the best meals and experiences ever and Scutra is such a gem. We can't wait to go back. Thank you, Scutra! - Kacey and Jeff

Went for the first time for our anniversary. We took the waitress suggestion and the dishes were great. Problem was once the waitress served food she never came back. Plus I have to say when you spend $70+ on 2 dinners and 1 glass of wine it should come with a salad. It left us very disappointed. We just wanted to try someplace different for our special night. Ps there were 3 waitresses so not sure why she never came back. 9/30/23
I ate at the bar and it was a wonderful experience! Tony Ann the bartender was perfect at making drinks and taking our order! Her bright smile and kind nature was noticed by all. We loved the atmosphere and the food was terrific. I had the shrimp scampi and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bread was also perfect as well. I will definitely be back!
Cafe Campagne has nice location and competitive prices. I was pleasantly surprised how good our experience was there. My absolutely favorite appetizer is calamari! Very good tender flavors and not overpowered by garlic. Love that they have fish options as well as meat. My choice was halibut and my husband took beef bourgogne. Nicely cooked meals we both enjoyed our dishes. For dessert I took opera cake which was absolutely delicious and I am not even that much of chocolate cake person.
Service was very good and prompt. The only thing it was a bit loud and not so romantic because tables are very close to each other and we were too close to other couple.

We visited on a late Wednesday afternoon for a business dinner. I'll try to keep this short. The space is gorgeous, you can tell the owner pays close attention to detail. Definitely Instagram picture worthy. The drinks were really good. They come in cute glasses (for example, a moon man, a genie lamp, a bird glass). I love stuff like this. The apps were not that great to be honest. The best one, was the short ribs. They were so tender but unfortunately have no flavor. No one at our table was pleased with the apps. I will say the main course was really good. I had the steak with chimichurri and fries. The steak was tender and seasoned well. My colleague had the shrimp and pasta dish and really liked it. My other colleague had potato dumplings, and enjoyed his dish. We all agreed we definitely would visit again for drinks and the ambience. Our server was fine. Not nasty but not overly friendly.
I will say this, the owner stopped by our table to introduce himself, which I thought was nice. You can tell he pays attention to his restaurant because he noticed we didn't finish most of the apps, specifically the sushi. He stopped by to our table again to inquire about why we didn't finish the sushi appetizer. We were honest and he apologized and asked for more detailed feedback so he could relay it to the cook. He also gave us a free drink each as a courtesy. I think this restaurant is worth visiting and I will definitely return for drinks and primarily off the customer service.

The atmosphere was nice and quiet, Our waiter Eric took good care of us and the food was good.
Very awful, rude service from the manger and server. We were shocked. To start our day with these type of communications were very unpleasant. It was 9:05am we wanted to sit in outside because tables were ready for serving. And the server said “at 10am serving will start in outside” when I asked the reason ? He couldn’t explain the reason. Anyways we said ok, within an hour we can change our place to outside. We sit and had our teas&desserts, at 10am we remind about our change of table, and the server said ok, I will come back. After couple mins manager came and said they can not do it because of they don’t have enough servers :) which the place was empty only 3 table (1person, 2persons, and us 2persons) was occupied in whole restaurant which one of them was ours. In whole place 5 customers, and there was 4 people who might serve or help to servers even though if this is a manager. ANYWAYS VERY UNPLEASANT AND RUDE STUFF!
Regarding foods, I changed my dessert 3 times because it was old. And whatever tea selections I asked he said they don’t have it. But my spouse dessert was hard but not bad taste.

Went for my wife’s birthday dinner. Beautiful restaurant. Small menu. Great pasta and drinks. She ordered the only steak a NY strip, very fatty and not worth the 65$ I think it cost. They should have a better different cut for that price. I have veal which was great. Elegant restaurant and great service. Seems like a regular spot for Birmingham elite.
Our party of 3 each had a different chicken pasta dish...excellent! Nice wine selection including a few Italian by the glass. Dirty martini was perfect and service was exquisite. Will be back!
It was a great place to grab brunch, with just the right vibe, amazing pastries options, and a varied menu. Service can be a little slow but acceptable.
The food was just perfect, the schnitzel was delicious and cooked just right! I righly recommend it.
Drinks took a while, but they were good. Also, make sure to try a few different ones.

When you want a bit of upscale atmosphere and food with an Italian flair, Sanzari’s is a great choice. The dress code is casual/whatever but the dining area makes for a classy atmosphere. The food is delicious and the portions are very satisfying. The wait staff folks are friendly and attentive. The prices are on the higher side but worth it. Parking is usually valet.
We stopped by for a sweet treat instead of dinner. I ordered the Kaiserschmarren, the menu states it would take 15-20 minutes, no big deal. Well, the reality was, that it took well over 30 minutes, the waitress wasn’t very attentive and the Kaiserschmarren not what I expected or know from visits to Austria. It was way too thick and not really a torn up pancake, also the raisins were missing. There was definitely not enough plum purée. Not sure I’ll return.
We went to one Michelin starred Le Coucou this weekend and we ordered the foie gras pate as our app, the sea urchin gratin and duckling dish with the cherry sauce. Dishes were great across the board. I’m not sure if I expected too much due to their Michelin status but I wasn’t blown away by their execution.
This was my first experience at a Michelin star restaurant for an anniversary, and it was beyond my wildest expectations. The service was top notch, and so was the food. Everyone there was devoted to making sure my husband and I were having the best experience possible.
The oysters were absolutely amazing, but one of my top recommendations is the Tartare de boeuf. Such an amazing dish with the earthy meat flavor and ocean salt flavor from the caviar. Perfect combination. I would love to come back again sometime.

My sister and I went there for dinner and to hear the entertainment for the evening, Ronnie Clinton from North Carolina. We both had the Chicken Piccata. It was excellent with lots of lemony sauce and capers. The restaurant was busy but the service was very good. Our server, Karli, was pleasant and attentive. The decor and atmosphere was current and welcoming.
Went with my Fiancé for her birthday and we had a fantastic time. The staff was super attentive to detail and the dishes were delicious. The candles on the table made it very romantic and my Fiancé has not stopped raving about the experience even a week later! It is on the pricey end but it was all worth it.
Amazing tasting food & and service. My wife & I were seated quickly. The different courses came out fast as well. Every item tasted fresh down to the brownie in the lava cake dessert. Every item was delicious!
Beautiful restaurant that is very cutely decorated. The location is a bit small for the demand, as brunch time the tables turn over almost immediately. We called in about a month in advance to reserve a table for 10 people. When we got there, we noticed that the other group that was supposed to be before us had just gotten their meal, this led us to wait about 1:15 hour longer to get seated.
Once we sat down, the service got better. They came ready to serve us our mimosas and took our orders quickly. I appreciate an interesting menu, and I wish I had an opportunity to try some of their appetizers.
I ordered the lobster Benedict which was pretty good. I wish I took more pictures, but the chicken and waffles was a healthy portion of chicken, the steak and eggs was a thin cut, and the avocado toast was larger than expected.
I wish we didn’t have such a long wait, but I appreciate what they did to try and rectify the situation.

We went to Cafe Campagne for a special occasion and it didn’t disappoint. Great service from the start. The ambiance feels like those old timer French bistros. Food was really good. We ordered the Farmer’s Board to start (A selection of French cured sliced meats and cheese. Served with baguette) and followed by the classic Steak/Frites. For dessert, we wanted something light and went for the ice cream.
Great food and great service.
Doesn't look like much from the outisde, but it's a very nice atmosphere inside.

Thanks to a fellow local guide is how I discovered this restaurant. So my closest friends and I went to have brunch over there. The restaurant’s decor is so pretty. It’s so inviting. My frozen watermelon margarita was yummy! It tasted like a slushy. I ordered the Sweet Syrniki with sour cream and jam. It was like eating cheese blitzes. It was delicious. My friend ordered the pancakes. She enjoyed it. We all agreed the best thing we all ate was the truffle fries. We didn’t leave a fry on the plate because they were so good! When we ordered dessert, they put the donuts in a ferris wheel which we all thought was very cute. Overall we all had a pleasant brunch in a very pretty restaurant.
Service staff was professional and courteous.
The food was cooked to perfection.
Large portions left us with a take-home meal for an other day.
This is definitely a place I will return to for another meal.

My babes took me to eat after loosing her bet in go karting 👀! The food was ok at best! It Needed some hot sauce and more pepper. Overall I was NOT impressed by the food but it wasn’t bad. However, the service was great! Atmosphere is great! Expect to spend $300 for two people
Le Coucou is a 1 Star Michelin Restaurant on Lafayette street serving classical French dishes. Dishes are perfectly cooked, highlighting strong technical skills and flavors are delicious, rich and heavy. Restaurant is in a cozy, beautifully lit space and is perfect for a special meal or date. Service could benefit from a bit more warmth, but is otherwise professional and efficient.
We were sat at a timely manner, but due to poor communication. It took us a while to be served by our server, but the minor incident was quickly situated by the manager and throughout the rest of our dinner. He compensated us by offering our desserts which we accepted. Overall, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The foods were up par along with the service— would definitely be coming back here!
Le Coucou was one of if not the best culinary experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I came for our anniversary.
Drinks - I had a glass of Syrah and my husband had a glass of Akul mezcal. I don’t normally like the smokiness of mezcal but I enjoyed this one. The drink markup is insane however.
We decided to forgo the tasting menu and ordered a la cart.
We started with a complimentary amuse-bouche. The exact name escapes me but it was some sort of tartine with anchovy.
Then came sourdough and seaweed bread served with butter. So freshly baked, you could see the steam from the bread basket.
For appetizer we had the Thon à la portugaise (yellowfin tuna, Madeira vinaigrette with raisins). All the flavors came together so nicely with the vinaigrette. This light start was the perfect first plate.
For entrees, my husband ordered the Homard “Bourse et la Vie” (Maine lobster, sauce au poivre, pommes dauphine) and I ordered the Filet de boeuf, jus à la moelle, queue dans la boulangère (beef filet, bone marrow jus, oxtail potato). All impeccable. The oxtail potato was my favorite. Braised oxtail served in the center of a circle of soft, thin potato au gratin with crispy outsides. Like what?? On the lobster pepper sauce… so so good. I never had soft peppercorn like that.
For dessert we had the Mille-Feuille (vanilla cream and caramel, fleur de sel) which was honestly just ok but then they gave us complementary dessert bites that were just AMAZING. Mini lemon macarons, decadent bites of chocolate ganache and the cutest warm lemon madeleines. Just perfect. I only wished I’d ordered an espresso to go with it all. Simply amazing. It left a smile on my face. The perfect ending to the meal.
Service was also outstanding.

Went to Le Coucou to celebrate my graduation and it was good food and great ambience but if you are celebrating an occasion, I don’t recommend going there. So instead of a la carte we order the very coucou dinner, which are courses chosen by the chef. This tasting is $195pp. That was interesting. Everything was good but nothing surprising or special. The waiters also were a bit slow and not knowing what exactly is going on(?) I ordered warm water and water looked at me as if they didn’t know what was warm water, and when explaining the courses they weren’t very knowledgeable whenever we had a question. The star of the course was the lobster bisque, and the rabbit was also good. Since I was celebrating, I did expect a free dessert or even at the very least the word “congratulations” in the last dessert course. Another thing that annoyed me a bit was the huge tall cancel and vase in the middle of the table. It was hard to look and communicate with the person opposite side. I still give it 4 stars because food was great but they should really take note in a few things.
Needed to get off the grid. Tucked away in New Milford, NJ. Soft shell crabs and took home what I really went there for char grilled cheese burger. Amazing, every morsel was a true delight. Oh wait I had dessert in between. A must have and an escape with new found friends.
Excellent restaurant in classy Highland Park Village. Michael was fantastic not only getting us in on short notice, but also in showing us hospitality when we arrived. Erick was an awesome waiter. At least 4 staff members checked on us throughout the meal. The food was great and the prices were honestly not bad considering the location. Although we went there for dinner, they also serve brunch which I can only imagine must be fantastic as well. Highly recommend - whether you’re looking to take a dinner date, friends or family you can’t go wrong with Bistro 31.
Other than the confusion about where the parking lot entrance was, this eatery has a homey feel about it. I recently experienced being a guest at a bridal shower in the upstairs room and it was cozy. The food was good (nothing spectacular though, although I give the penne with vodka sauce a "two thumbs up".) and the service was good too. I didn't understand two things: why bread plates weren't put on the tables [we had to make due with our saucers from our coffee cups] and the coffee was served way past the serving of the plates of cookies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we couldn't understand why pitchers of soda weren't provided either. Would I return for an evening meal? Probably.
Everything was immaculate: food, service, and ambience. The main course was served in deconstructed parts, which I thought was very different. While being here was an exciting experience, the food was incredibly expensive; be prepared to spend at least a couple hundred dollars per person. Also, dress nicely, because it's a very elegant, romantic space.
We visited Georgetown for a work event and had reservations for lunch. The space is on the smaller side but very open, bright and decorated nicely with bright colors. When you first enter you will be mesmerised with the dessert choices on display. I know I was in for a treat. Our server was very attentive. I ordered french toast and scrambled eggs and of course a black forest cake. The eggs were soft and fluffy and not over cooked, the french toast was uniquely made stuffed with blueberries and strawberries with a strawberries syrup. Oh so delicious, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely return and recommend.
Attended a fundraiser Gala for a local school and we were in the outdoor tent in mid-March. We were not cold at all. They had valet for our guests. Could have benefited from a coat check, but everything else was amazing. Sam & his staff were very professional. We went a little over our 11 pm exit time but did not feel like we were getting kicked out. I would personally use this venue in the future.
I recently visited Bistro 31 and had an incredible experience! The atmosphere was neat and inviting, and the customer service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that my dining experience was memorable.
And the food and drinks? Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend trying the margarita - it was one of the best I've ever had. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, and everything I tried was prepared with care and skill.
Overall, I can't recommend Bistro 31 enough. Whether you're looking for a great place for a date night or a casual night out with friends, this bistro is definitely worth checking out. With top-notch service, delicious food and drinks, and a cozy atmosphere, it's a true gem in the community. Five stars all around!

My first visit was for one of my friend’s birthday dinner. Needless to say, we had an amazing experience. Great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend the lobster bisque, adding blackened salmon to any pasta and trying the sticky toffee cake for dessert.
Friday lunch was quite busy. We were there by reservation. We ordered lemon linguini and steak frites to share for two people. They’ve done a good job split the food in half with great presentation. The linguini is so creamy with a tasty jumbo prawn. Perfection with not salty. The steak is grilled to be the right cooked. Great experience!
Celebrated with family at this marvelous restaurant. The seafood-themed appetizers we ordered were savory and fresh. The meat entrées had robust and nuanced flavors. Everything was nicely presented and our waitress, very cheerful and helpful. Great place.
Food is fantastic! We have gotten carry-out a few times and dined in and had fantastic experiences every time. Restaurant is a little on the pricier side though.
We received a gift card to dine here. We've never been here before. When we walked in we were greeted warmly and promptly seated in a beautifully decorated room with a warm homey feel. The servers were so friendly, attentive, but not intrusive, and very helpful, even supplied a stand to hold purses off the floor.
The food was perfectly prepared. Started with complimentary warm loaves of bread served with Olive Oil and sundried tomatoes - so good! From appetizers to dessert, each bite, each entrée was thoroughly enjoyed! We started with Coconut Shrimp, Shrimp Cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. The shrimp were of an impressive size, not too much but oh so good! The stuffed mushrooms portion of 4 good-sized mushrooms caps generously stuffed to delight! The prime rib was made perfectly and served with horseradish, potatoes, a delicious bread muffin and veggies. The homemade lasagna did not disappoint with its generous portion and topped with freshly shredded cheese, so good! The filet mignon was exquisite. So tender and bursting with flavor! The mashed red potatoes were creamy and whipped to perfection. Roasted veggies on the side were savory as well. The portions, overall, were more than we could eat, so we happily requested our leftovers to be packed to brought home. We ended the evening the Chocolate Mousse served with fresh whipped cream, so good! The prices are a little steep for us, but wow! Well worth it! We look forward to (hopefully getting another gift certificate and) returning! If you're the type who doesn't mind paying a little more than usual for an outstanding meal, amazing service and a beautiful atmosphere, then I highly recommend Sanzari's!

Delicious food and great atmosphere, I'll definitely return.
The farm egg is everyone's favorite, and yes it's very good.
They lost one star by adding bacon to their bolognese which was only good after the first bite, then it became offensive.
The pasta special with shaved truffles looked nothing like the dozens of photos on Yelp and Google.
The baked Alaska was an item I got to go but it's not traditional.
Soft meringue that wasn't frozen and unusual center.
For the most part it was enjoyable.

My experience at Forest trail is very nice. The ambience was relaxing and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The quality of my meal was great and beautiful to look at and full of flavors. Do you believe the pricing to be quite high might be due to location and service received as I've been to very similar restaurants I have not paid as much for the amount of food served.
I would definitely return in the future.

Delicious food and good portion sizes. Great ambiance for girls brunch or a romantic dinner date. Fast and friendly staff. Dress code is business casual. Expect to spend at least $30. Drink selection is not my favorite they could have more options.
I've been to Forest a few times before but not in years so I was excited to go back. It did not disappoint. From the relaxing patio environment to the service to the food, everything was practically perfect. Seared scallop appetizer was a generous portion and perfectly cooked. The Wagyy tomahawk was the real star. It's one of the best steaks I've had in the area and came with a choice of two sides. Drinks and coconut sorbet were tasty too!
Food was top notch as usual and service was in point. We had the carrot salad and the farm egg to start, wow they were really very delicious. Had the trout and agnolotti with squash which were both very tasty. Just felt a bit rushed at the end, felt as though they wanted to turn the table, or would be 5 stars.
