    Long time diners at La Merise. Wonderful, cozy, neighborhood spot. Excellent service . Ordered 3 of our “usual” meals. Slight differences in all 3 makes us think new chef. Sauce a bit congealed (tasted great however) and prep slightly different (salmon appeared seared instead of poached). Prices increased a bit also. Guess it is a sign of the times.

    We came in for the Valentine’s Day special & everything was so incredible….the food, the drinks, such high quality & for a great price. Our only complaint was the length of time in took to get our drinks when we sat down (about 20ish minutes) & the length of time we waited in between courses. Regardless, it was a busy night & our waiter, Ron, was very kind! It was a special Valentine’s Day!

    Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.
