It’s been a while since I dined at Chez L’évêque. Once again, everything was great! It’s always a pleasure as the staff is very pleasant and attentive. The food is consistently delicious. There is a reason why they have been in business for so long.

My best friend was visiting from out of town and we were celebrating her birthday along with the holidays. When we arrived we were asked if we preferred the quieter area of the restaurant, and we proceeded to have a wonderful evening catching up , and thouroughly enjoying the delicious tasting menu. The lamb chops were perfection! Service throughout was professional and friendly, our water glasses filled all evening. The chairs were very comfortable and the ambience in our corner perfect for conversation. Couldn’t ask for more.
