Excellent service, food was excellent. Valet parking made access very easy for my friend and her walker. Valet also unloaded and loaded walker into car which was extremely appreciated.

We picked this restaurant based on reviews and I love French food. it is a beautiful setting. I had hoped to sit outside but we were told it had just been closed as they were closing for the summer shortly. Initially I was disappointed, but when he seated us in the dining room, I was no longer disappointed. It was beautiful, very old world, charming and very comfortable. Our waiter, Dan, was at our table quickly and took our drink order. Delicious cocktails and creative. I asked our waiter why they didn't have escargot on the menu since I always think a French restaurant should offer them. He quickly assumed me they do indeed have them by request. OMG, so glad I inquired because they were the best escargot I have ever had. My husband had a wonderful spinach salad. We ordered Duck and Rack of lamb. My husband is from New Zealand and always orders rack of lamb. He said it was the best prepared lamb he has had. My duck melted in your mouth. The food here is just exquisite! Dan brought out the floating island desert for my birthday and it was delicious! We brought our own wine and our waiter apologized for charging us a corkage fee, we told him we fully expect to pay a corkage fee and didn't mind a bit. Warning, it is a $40 fee so a bit high but the whole experience was wonderful! This is our new favorite restaurant in the valley and I have already made reservations for when they reopen! I did notice a few negative reviews, but I would pay them no attention as the restaurant is a gem with fabulous food!!

Went to the bar and ordered food. My wife who is Italian ordered a pasta that she makes and that I love. She said that the restaurant's was better. Quite the praise. I just had a martini and it was excellent. The other dinners were very friendly and engaging. How often does that happen? Overall very enjoyable.

We sat in the bar and ate off the bar menu. Not a happy hour menu. That is a good thing. The food was very good. And the bar tender was just as good. Beautiful inside and outside dining.

Julian is the best!! He is the nicest bartender on the area. We save Cuistot for the end of our month stay here, because it gives us a special restaurant to end our stay. The food and service is above the rest. We highly recommend experiencing this special place for ambience, food and special service.
