    I ordered two classic french dishes: Onion Soup and Croque Monsieur. Both were outstanding. I also appreciated the attentive service, even with a full restaurant.

    Greeted as soon as we entered. Seating was prompt and perfect. I don’t think there is a bad table ! Calamari was delicious especially the sauce. Scallops were cooked perfectly as was the lamb. Perfect size portions for lunch. Their standard of excellence continues. We had an excellent Xmas lunch. I have been away too long.

    This was the first time we’ve had brunch at Le Relais and it didn’t disappoint. Just like their dinner service, I was thrilled to see several gluten-free options on the menu. I enjoyed bottomless decaf coffee and eggs Benedict with salmon over a GF English muffin. My husband steak and eggs (filet, green beans and potatoes). The house made goat cheese vanilla ice cream was out of this world delicious. We consistently experience great service and food at Le Relais. Highly recommend brunch and dinner. Pro tip: make a reservation.

    I loved the whole dining experience. The wonderful, friendly and attentive service with delicious food and cocktails make me always return. (The French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had and I have to get it every time I dine at Le Relsis.) It’s a lovely and warm space with a great atmosphere. It’s perfection and is consistently so! So happy to have it in our city and neighborhood.

    Our first time back in a while, and we had a wonderful time and meal. We met the new owner (Amy), enjoyed the professional and friendly service, and were delighted with our salads (Lyonnais & Caesar) and our entrees (Mussels & Steak Frites). We were happy for Amy to see a full restaurant on a Thursday night ... and we shall return.
