I am never disappointed when I bring someone here. The food, atmosphere and service is always consistent. Authentic French cuisine in a romantic setting that feels like Paris in some ways is perfect. I went here on a date and we felt like we were alone sitting in one of the corner tables. Thank you!!!

Hands down the best French restaurant in the area. The goat cheese “cake” on a fruit and toasted walnut laced salad was creamy deliciousness. The duck with berry glaze was crispy and succulent, and the chocolate pot a crème was a mix of decadent, dark chocolate and rich whipped cream that melted in the mouth. Divine.

We brought a visiting friend from NYC. He was THRILLED with everything (we always are, too) but especially the escargots. They are difficult to find, he said. And so well-prepared. He joins our LCE fan club- the food, service, ambience (still so pretty with twinkly holiday lights aglow!) the cocktails, all of it. We will return. Vive Le Canard Enchaine! 🇫🇷🥖❤️ Thank you.

We came for dinner, party of three. This is a Lovely French restaurant with a daily specials menu beyond the established menu. We had a warm goat cheese salad that was outstanding, French onion soup was great, we also had the lamb shank, steak, and sea bass. All were very good. Steak was off temperature - but this was remedied quickly and without fuss. The service was very good, the ambiance relaxing and the sound level was perfect. It wasn’t noisy - but just loud enough to have a normal conversation and still feel that your conversation was private / not available to other diners. The wine prices were terrific! We had a great bottle of Côtes du Rhône for less than $50. We will definitely go back and are looking forward to our next visit.
