“We visited a month back for anniversary and was blown away by the whole experience. The way they personalised everything was just amazing. We were there for over 2 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. Ordered a bunch of different things and everything was well made and beautifully presented. Only feedback I have is that beef tartare felt a little dry, maybe because egg yolk wasn’t runny enough. Everything else from start to finish was great. If you are celebrating something special you won’t find many places better than this. Highly recommended”
“This was an amazing experience for our anniversary! The ambiance was perfect for setting the mood. Our server did an exceptional job; we were especially impressed with her knowledge of information about the food and drinks that were presented. The meal itself was exquisite; worth every penny. We highly recommend anyone who truly appreciates fine dining and top quality to come here and see firsthand how well they do it. Thank you so much for one of the best meals we’ve ever had, and we look forward to returning soon for another fantastic night!”
“Girlfriend is a foodie. Me, not so much. But from the very "get-go" the service was excellent. They give plenty of information and help without going overboard. The riverfront view was beautiful and the atmosphere was inferior to none. Ill base the rest of the feedback on my lady's responses. From the pumpkin duck confit, to the amuse-bouche goat cheese thing, the salad, the shellfish entre and then the final touch of the complementary dessert of chocolate mousse, the meal couldnt have been more perfect! The food overall, left her glowing with enjoyment like a child in a brand new toy store. I couldnt have chosen a better place nor could there have been a place on the planet that could've sold her on the ability of the house chef(s)/cooks. The staff continuously took care of us without us feeling intruded upon. I couldn't have been more pleased! We both would recommend this place to anyone who loves food, great service and atmosphere. Thank you to everyone at Chez François”
