    Fixed price special duck menu was creative and pace of service was perfect. The wine pairings were not my taste, even though the explanations were excellent and they did go well with the food. This is the second time we have attended a fixed price dinner and we enjoy the place and the food very much. Will return.

    An amazing and wonderful experience for my entire family as we celebrated together for a first time in awhile. Our server was outstanding and was patient with our large group of 8 who had varying tastes (and allergies to accommodate.) She spent time going over the entire menu and made perfect recommendations in amounts to order and in highlighting shareable items too. The food arrived in a perfect flow and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Collette. 5 stars indeed!
