    Colette is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. This was our second visit and we love every part of the meal. Bread service, carrot salad, duck, Icelandic cod, and rice pudding. Both main courses are as good as you can get outside of Iceland and Beijing

    We went to dinner before Nutcracker performance. We shared onion soup, filet mignon, salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus, cappuccino, vanilla gelato and brownie with gelato. The food was delicious and very tasty. Everything was cooked perfectly and my daughter loved onion soup for the first time. Service was excellent and all staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back here again!
