Au Revoir French Bistro was a fun experience. I tried a few things for the first time in my life, which I really enjoy. I had Escargot served with bread and seasoning. It was good tasting but I would rather have the Calamari, which I also ordered. I also had Bone Marrow served "in" the bone with seasoning. It was gelatinous on my fork so I was skeptical but it sure did taste good. Then there were the usual suspects. Lamb Chops, Duck, Salmon, and European White Sea Bass. All of the food was delicious. The place was busier than usual and a little short staffed but the owner was picking up the slack. 10 out of 10, I recommend!
I don't know a lot about French cuisine but we liked the two entrees we ordered and cleaned out our plates. We ordered two entrees only since it was lunch time and we don't usually over order .All the food was delicious to us and the service was very courteous and friendly. The ambience was pretty relaxed and casual as expected for a bistro. We will be back to try the other items of their menu .
We made a reservation for 5/5:30pm on a Saturday. We were the first patrons there and within the next hour or two there was a full restaurant.
The Plateau de fromages (cheese & accoutrements platter) was fun to share. We also shared a Salade du bistro. The candied nuts in the salad were amazing!
We ordered various entrees and they did not disappoint! Everything tasted so good! The meat was not dry and the sauces enhanced how well the meat tasted. The veggies were cooked to perfection. We also all enjoyed the lavender French fries.
Again, we tried every dessert off the menu to share. The Bread Pudding was a favorite while the Chocolate Mousse was too rich for most. The Crème Brûlée was perfect and the Peach Melba was a nice surprise.
It was my husband’s birthday and our server came out with a single scoop of chocolate mousse for him with a candle in it. We really enjoyed our visit and will come again.
Had a very nice time here! While the service was good and the food was good, I believe I went a little too early (5:30ish) and it felt too empty. It was made up for though with a fantastic (and large) rack of lamb and a decent but afforable wine list!
A nice French restaurant. Their baguette is really good. I had mushroom raviolis.
We tried this cute little French restaurant in our neighborhood recently, it was ok. We went around 530 thinking we would catch a happy hour. On their website it said they had happy hour I believe from 4 to 6 PM but when we arrived we found out that was old information and they no longer have any happy hour specials. No problem, we decided to order a bottle of Cabernet, calamari and escargot. The calamari was dry and over salted, however, the escargot was phenomenal, probably one of the best I’ve had. We ordered a side of bread to dip in the escargot dish because it was so good! The service was really good, the waiter also brought us a little chocolate mousse on the house which was also delicious.
A nice choice for an elevated French dining experience within the confines of Hillcrest, this place does a decent job of providing a nice experience. The food was cooked well, though the scallops just needed a hint of salt as the rest of the meal was absolutely great. Loved the mushroom filling on the ravioli.
The server did a good job considering he was the only one out of the ten-ish other tables there. The strangest issue was the seating situation as there were only four or so options for sitting couples together, which weren’t the best, and as more couples came in, the seating got awkward fast as they ran out and larger parties coming in couldn’t be seated.
We dined on a week day so it was pretty quiet. They offered a 3-course menu as well as the ala carte menu. I can never say no to branzino so I really enjoyed my meal. The french onion soup was superb, flavorful and filled with lots on onion. My dinner partner had the duck confit and was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as crisp as it could have been. Overall a nice dining experience.
Lovely food, lamb was soft and moist, cooked and seasoned wonderfully. Who would've thought lavender went so well with fries? And the escargot has plenty of garlic and herbs, not chewy at all. Service was attentive and friendly without being annoying. There isn't much to say about ambience, it was all about
Nice little french bistro on Hillcrest. We made a reservation for 8 at 4:30 pm but we thought could get in early, but that day they opened at exactly 4:30pm so we where the 1st in and had the place all to ourselves, but it got busy very fast. They have a great menu and very good wines. We had the Mouton Cadet from Bordeaux an it was a great choice. We ordered several dishes to share between us and everything was delicious. One of our orders got backed out, but it got really crowded, but at the end it finally came and it was ok. I highly recommend the Orange duck and the rack of lamb. Onion soup was also very good. Our server did a great job for a packed place. Definitely I will come back.
