    We celebrated our forty-four year anniversary and wanted a special place to do that. We decided to give La Cuisine a try as the menu looked inviting and the pictures of the restaurant looked to be authentic French decor. Despite all of that to some degree the evening turned out to be a disappointment. The service was excellent and , as mentioned the decor was very nice. However, the food was not what it should have been. Especially for the price. My halibut was over cooked and dry and crispy and the mussel shells stuffed with risotto were difficult to eat.My wife's brussel sprouts were also over cooked. She mentioned this to the waiter and he took the $5.00 charge off of the bill. The wine list is extensive but over priced at $60.00 for what we ordered. The total bill was $320 with tax and tip which definitely puts this restaurant into the category of a special occasion restaurant only. We will probably go back at some time to see if this was a one off!

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in North Central Florida. We just came back from vacationing in France, and we thought that we were back in France. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it.

    Im not afraid of sodium, but the Steak was too salty. The front room was very warm and was a bit claustrophobic. Waiter was very attentive
