Colette bistro was a little disappointed for the price tag. The food in general was a bit too salty. The chicken was okay. The ratatouille was still raw, very little sauce and too much cheese on it. The Brussels sprouts were ok. The place was a little dirty, omg my table had still spots and stains from the previous customers. >> Just an update, we all got sick from the dinner. << Unfortunately we will not go back.

A fun French bistro in a charming setting. Particularly good charcuterie, French onion soup, and coconut panna cotta. $10 valet parking is a steal! Worth a return visit for sure.

The food was good, but even when we ordered the same dish the consistency was different. We had to wait even after an early reservation, the rest of the staff was friendly but one lady was making un polite faces while taking us to our seats. We experienced hostile behavior when we asked her about the dish which wasn’t fully cooked.

Beautiful interior but brunch was quite pricey for the amount of food and quality of food that was served. The mushroom crepe was filled with onion ends and did not have much flavor. The potatoes were good though.

New menu is full of hits, we had the family style porterhouse (pic), bunch of sides and the tagliatelle. Service was attentive without being on top of you and the beverage list is rounded out well. Solid spot for a group dinner or just to pull up to the bar for a nice glass of wine and some snacks.

Recently visited with a friend for the first time and we both loved this place. I can often tell what my experience at a restaurant will be like based on the host’s service. Jesus, the host, was very welcoming and ensured that we were comfortable and ready to order. The staff were also hospitable and friendly. If you enjoy steaks, Steak Frites is the way to go. It was beautifully presented and full of flavor. For dessert, we ordered their Profiterole to share and both presentation and taste were amazing.

Absolutely thrilled by my experience at the French restaurant! The bartenders are true artisans, crafting the most exquisite drinks that transported me to another world. Their skill and creativity shine through in every sip. I can’t wait to share this wonderful find with friends and family – an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of sophistication and elegance!

We had visited shortly after they opened in 2019 and had a great dinner, so visited again in 2023 for our anniversary.
