   We went to Petite Cherise for our anniversary dinner. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. We had the prix fixe dinner, which included four courses. The snacks were delicious, particularly the Oysters Rockefeller. Our three shareables — Céleri Rãpées, Black Truffle Cavatelli, and Pork Paillard — were great surprises of spices and flavors. We had the Beef Bourguigon as our entree. It was perfectly prepared. The meal was beautifully capped by Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake and coffee. The service was as fabulous as the food. The staff is professional, friendly, accommodating, and generous. We can’t wait to return.

   We came back as we loved our first time at Petite Cerise. However, this time we didn’t like a few things. Server continuously touching my and my wife’s back and shoulders when he approached the table, really annoying, onion soup too liquid, and s’mores donut a bit burned and overpriced for a pastry.

   We enjoyed our time at Petite Cerise immensely! The food and service were spectacular. Our server was warm and engaging — as were the service director and other staff members. Also, it is a beautiful restaurant with a contemporary but cozy feel.

   We had a lovely evening celebrating a special occasion. The food was delicious and a good overall value for the quality of the prix fixe menu. The staff were all extremely attentive and thoughtful. Would highly recommend Petite Cerise for a relaxed and enjoyable date night!

   This was one of the more disappointing dinners I’ve had recently. Really surprising since we previously enjoyed it for drinks/snacks and we love the Dabney. But many of the dishes were poorly conceived and the service was exceedingly slow. Puff pastry was way too thick on the snapper. I love Szechuan but it didn’t go well with the scallops and grapefruit. For the service, everything was smooth at first, but after the snacks were delivered the service and attentiveness dropped off. Ultimately, a pretty standard meal took two hours with no explanation for the extended delay between courses. There are just too many good restaurants at this price point for this to be a competitive meal.

   We didn’t know what to expect from Petite Cerise, it was our first time. Dinner was delicious, service was excellent and to be honest I can’t think of a negative thing to say. Prix Fixe menu is the best way to taste different options from the menu and don’t forget to try the Parisian Gnocchi, fantastic!

   One of our best dining experiences ever - and we go out alot. Just what you want from a restaurant. The food was outrageously good. Everything ! Presented beautifully. Not rushed. The service was outstanding. James was the ultimate grand server. There when needed. Explained everything. The physical space was interesting - could see the kitchen. And it was relatively quiet !! Justin - the manager - was super helpful with wine suggestions , and he generated a warm welcome when we entered. The concept of sharing enhanced the experience with our friends. And did I mention the food was super good. We will be raving about this place to everyone we know. A true grand dining experience ! Thanks to all that made that happen.

   Lovely dining room and ambiance. Good service—though the server who actually delivered each dish to the table seemed distracted and explained what she was serving in a perfunctory manner that discouraged questions and discussion. The starters and cocktails were quite good but everything else was indifferent. We had the fixed menu at $64-74/person. Definitely not worth what we paid.
