Love the food and service, but i do wish the staff wasn’t as attentive because it felt like we were being pushed out. Logically, I understand; however, it’s difficult to have a meaningful conversation when there is someone asking to grab the leftovers every 5 mins or so…

Our experience at Petite Cerise was outstanding. We ordered the prix fixe menu and every item was delicious. We had time to enjoy each course and never rushed. The food quality was superior and service very attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant for small parties.
