    Great vibe, wonderful service and all the food was perfect. They honored dietary restrictions with creativity and kindness. The night was wonderful and we love the cozy space. This was our second visit and we’ll return.

    The cod at Colette is “last meal” worthy. You need it.

    Bryan our server was awesome, gave us a run down of the menu and got pretty much everything he recommended. First we started off with the tuna appetizer which was delicious we just wish there would have been something to add some sustenance to the dish. Next of course we got the bread service which when we go back we might have to order 3 of them because they were so gosh darn delicious. Carrot salad was next which I didn’t have high hopes for only cause carrots aren’t my cup of tea but my girlfriend wanted to try them and Bryan suggested them and surprisingly it was a really delicious salad caught me by surprise. My girlfriend ordered the cavatelli pasta dish which she enjoyed and I order the cod which Bryan recommended and is was AmAZInG. Great job overall, only downside was even after dessert we were still pretty hungry. Portion sizes were small but that was to be expected at a French restaurant, we had to get a burger and fries at the bar down the street

    The food was amazing. Our server offered great suggestions on dishes we have never tried but would compliment each other. The bread service (and butter)! as well as the brioche are not to be missed. Everyone there seemed to really enjoy their work and took great pride in the food and service. A wonderful experience with great food and cocktails.
