Best French Restaurants in Mount Vernon

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.

Great experience from the cocktails to the salad to the main meal and dessert. The service was exceptional and we look forward to returning. 

So glad we made a reservation. Service was outstanding. One of the best coffees I have had in a restaurant in this country.

Staff were attentive and welcoming. Food was very delicious. We ordered small plates and a side: Burrata, raw bar (half dozen), chickpea tortilla tacos, tuna meatballs, grilled octopus, grilled carrots. Our favorite was the tuna meatballs - definitely ordering that again! The only dish that was slightly off was the octopus - was a little overcooked. The staff graciously gave us our dessert to go (so we could properly thank the grandparent sitters). We’d gladly come back for cocktails and full entrees in the future!
