LeRelais is absolutely delightful. We recently returned from France where my girlfriend had roasted duck for dinner in a small village we stayed at. She said it was perfect & will most likely not be able to find such a perfectly cooked dish here in the states. Last night at LeRelais she did. I’m more vegetarian so I had the vegetarian linguini. It was perfectly seasoned. Noise level is high & activity of the staff is busy but the service is very good.

The lasagna was very good and huge portions! My date had the filet which was outstanding at mid rare. Service was way above board. My date spilled her drink and they had it taken care of immediately with a replacement to go. Ambiance is upscale and pleasant. Highly recommended!!!

The vegan black bean cake dinner option coupled with ratatouille and fingerling potatoes was superb. If you're vegan and order the olive appetizer, just ask for them not to butter the toast. Someone at our table ordered the Steak Frites and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food excellent as usual, atmosphere is amazing, and service impeccable.
