    We visited La Grande Boucherie during Christmas day. - restaurant looked very festive and cozy. - live music - food 4 stars out of 5. Oysters were amazing. french onion soup was ok, but nothing special. I ate FILET MIGNON and it was really good. My husband had STEAK FRITES and said it was nothing special, not going to eat it next time. For the desert we ordered PROFITEROLES it was tasty and alot! Overall experience was nice, we will come back!

    We had an exceptional dining experience on Christmas Eve. Our three main courses of cod in parchment paper, veal with mushrooms and lamb shank were all outstanding and perfectly prepared. In addition to a great wine selection, the cocktails hit the mark. And a very special finish with Irish Coffee created at the table with finesse and flair! We were personally greeted by the owner as family and will definitely return. Thank you so much for making this a special and festive occasion.

    Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.

    Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!
