" Quenelle is a modern bistro that focuses on traditional French dishes, innovative cocktails, and a carefully curated selection of regional French wines. The restaurant features low ceilings and a welcoming front dining room. The sunken garden room offers a more modern and feminine atmosphere, inspired by the French bistros the owners visited in France. Quenelle is owned by Leacel Hillenbrand and Rachel Herman-Gross. The food menu, crafted by Chef Abby Fleury, draws inspiration from the recipes of the late French chef Paul Bocuse, a pioneer of a culinary movement that celebrated simple yet inventive dishes made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant's namesake and signature dish, the quenelle, consists of two oval portions of poached halibut mousse, light and spongy, served in a rich lobster cream sauce. All bar seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

2026 Highlights: Quenelle incorporates specially imported French ingredients, complemented by innovative cocktails and carefully selected French wines"
