    Delicious food, beautiful dining room, very nice staff. I think they are definitely the high end of a food budget, but worth it.

    The food was very good. We had the Valentine’s Day prefix menu. It was a “high casual” restaurant…. Meaning, jeans and a polo or a suit jacket and a button down shirt would all fit in

    Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.

    We allowed the chef to take us through a variety of dishes. The experience wasn’t cheap but definitely worth it. Every dish was on point and we had a great time.

    Such a great place! Excellent people and train watching, we were lucky to get that twilight magic full with outside evening lights. The food is really something, masterfully created and very tasty. Perfect music vibe and sound from vinyl records, hope to be back soon!
