    I had another fantastic experience at Cafe Colline! As always, the service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Our server was attentive and super sweet, making our visit even more enjoyable. I took a friend there to celebrate her birthday, and she loved it just as much as I do. I’ll definitely keep returning and highly recommend this charming spot to anyone looking for a great meal and a warm, welcoming environment!

    It was Monday night. It was cold in the restaurant on a cool night. We asked them to turn down the a/c, which they did thankfully. The frisee salad was excellent. The loup de mer was cooked just right and very delicious by itself, although the dish would've benefited from less butter, much less butter.

    We lived in Paris previously and travel there often, and Cafe Colline is as good as many of our favorite restos in Paris. Food, service, and ambience were all topnotch.

    Their Onion Soup is terrific. Mussels also great.It's pretty easy to be happy with food here. But, I'd say the bucatini with butternut squash was a miss.

    Our server was great.Could probably speak up a little since he wears a mask. All 3 dinners were excellent - burger, salmon and beef bourguignon. And dessert was delicious as well.

    My husband and a celebrated a wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience at Cafe Colline. My husband said his mussels were outstanding and I enjoyed the salmon as well. We split an appetizer and dessert and especially enjoyed the Basque cheesecake. The service was excellent on a busy night though it took a while before our entrees arrived. We’re so fortunate to have Cafe Colline in our neighborhood!
