    Second time here and it was good as the first. Pork collar, ravioli and cod all excellent. Hummus, whipped salt cod and carrot salad as well. Not accustomed to paying for bread, but it was good.

    Our second time dining at Colette and we had an amazing time. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the whole city. There’s such a level of care put into the menu from drinks to dessert. Don’t skip the butter service. Highly recommend the cavatelli as well.

    Last evening, my party of six visited Colette before going to the Aronoff. This was their first visit and they were blown away! We ordered two salads, four entrees, bread and butter service and four desserts to share. Food and service were excellent! Love this restaurant. Quality ingredients and a creative menu. I will definitely be back!

    We had outstanding dinner at Colette. Our sever, David, was courteous, professional, and attentive. The brioche was a great start. The lite dressing on the greens has had my wife praising for several days. The Sole entree was best we have had in several years. We will return.
