    An amazing and wonderful experience for my entire family as we celebrated together for a first time in awhile. Our server was outstanding and was patient with our large group of 8 who had varying tastes (and allergies to accommodate.) She spent time going over the entire menu and made perfect recommendations in amounts to order and in highlighting shareable items too. The food arrived in a perfect flow and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Collette. 5 stars indeed!

    Food was incredible; the guac was made fresh. We got empanadas and they were delicious. Only thing that was questionable was our server. Attitude was non-welcoming, felt like he was rushing us the whole time. We asked to move seats because it was right next to the door and before we could finish asking, he moved us to the next table and then tossed a stapler toward the host stand. The cooks behind the stand saw this and were not pleased. Would still recommend (just not necessarily that server).

    Great place for a casual meal and drinks! Tacos are innovative, fresh, and you can mix and match. Our server was friendly and efficient. This is a good place to meet friends for a pre-concert dinner if you’re headed to Music Hall!
