Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Frenchtown

Even though it was Valentine’s Day the service and food were excellent! Some restaurants are so busy it doesn’t turn out that way. I had a very creative halibut dish with olives and sweet raisins etc over a cauliflower potato mash. Yummy! My husband had bacon wrapped filet and they were very kind about substituting one of the sides. I love that the Black Bass Hotel restaurant has French press coffee at lunch and dinner!

It is my first time at the restaurant. My wife had been there before and loved it. The atmosphere and ambience was fantastic, especially for Valentine’s Day.

Chopped salad was amazing both in terms of variety of vegtables and quantity. Would have like more vegtables with entree. Had the snapper which was on a broccoli purée with a few baby corns. My husband had the salmon on a bed of faroe, also no vegtables. Nice touch at the end on Valentines that 2 small chocolate wafers were presented along with a small box that contained 4 bite sized little deserts which were all different.

This was a Valentine’s Day date. They sat us near the fireplace which was warm and cozy. Ask to sit elsewhere if you do not want to smell like campfire for the rest of the night lol. We did not mind it one bit and found it romantic. The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for on Valentine’s Day. We got the Fig Toasts and shared a bowl of lobster stew (1/4 of lobster!). We Highly recommend both. I got the Boursin Filet. I would probably choose medium over medium rare next time but, it was still delicious with the Demi-Glacé and Boursin. She got the ‘Will you Marry Me’ Chicken which was topped with lumped crab meat. We were very happy with the food and service! We would return in the future for dinner or to try out their brunch menu.

Service was a little slow which isn't the norm and our sever was very apologetic. Food was amazing as usual. We started with the baked oysters, which were decadent and full of flavor. I had the Chilean sea bass (perfectly cooked and oh, so, buttery) and my husband had the duck two ways. Absolutely no room for dessert, you get a lot of food!
