LE CHAT NOIR REVIEWS
Ooh, La La! We love the chat noir! It is pleasantly quaint, well appointed. We were warmly greeted by Adrian. The service was perfect, Adrian was there when we needed him, but did not hover, perfect! Our food was delicously, unmistakably, French. Appetizer, Escargot. First course, French Onion Soup w/Gruyere. Main course, Duck Breast in Peppercorn Sauce, and the Pistachio Mustard Crusted Rack of Lamb. And of course, great wine. We lingered over a shared dessert, Vanilla Ice Cream with Chestnut Cream, and flavored with Brandy! Oh, mon cheri, so good!
1/20/24 The place is small and quaint. The service was great. I believe Johann was his name, he was very attentive to us. Everything that we ordered tonight was 10 out of 10..!! We ordered their Venison and their Filet Mignon for the main entree. Their Escargot and Onion soup for starters. For dessert, we ordered their Napoleon and Crème Brûlée. Everything we ate hit the spot.
Me and my girlfriend went here for our first Valentine’s Day. Food and service were great.

CAFE LE REVE REVIEWS
Wow what a great hidden gem! Amazing food, family owned and run, very good attentive service. I’ve never had legit French cafe breakfast food before, it is special. Also very good prices and generous portions. All around excellence. The space is small, so call ahead to reserve your table or you might miss out. Can’t wait to come back.
Call to make a reservation beforehand. The Cafe Pave Potatoes were DELICIOUS! Pictured is the croque monsieur and the special a savory crepe, both were very good! The staff were all very sweet as well.
Amazing French cuisine! My husband and I come here often. It’s one of our favorite places. I feel like the food gets better every time I go. The chef is very talented.

LE GOURMET REVIEWS
I have eaten here about 3 times with my coworkers and absolutely loved it every time. It's a small restaurant but the employees are so kind and are very attentive! The owner is a great guy and always takes care of us. Also, I totally recommend ordering the soufflé!! I can't wait to go back next time with my friends and family (: I've also tried 3 different items each time I've come and enjoyed each! (: Pictured are: French onion soup and a ratatouille crepe. Video: The Soufflé Parking: There's is one parking spot in the front by the restaurant with a sign that says "for dine in customers at "Le Gourmet". Other than that, parking is free everywhere else!
Arrival: Friday night Reservations: accepted but no need Server: Friendly staffs, quick Parking: plenty Space: a little small but decent job at decorating.
Such a good hidden gem! This is our third time visiting and the food is always delicious. Our service could not have been any friendlier and we enjoyed the cozy ambiance of the restaurant.
