We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.

Our server was very nice, friendly, attentive when needed. The food was delicious, a great hidden gem of a restaurant! Only minor complaint I would have was the noise level. Loud from everyone talking and enjoying themselves, but not unbearably so.

Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
