RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024Reservations available for 8 or less people until May.

    If you're on the hunt for an Italian spot that really knows how to deliver the goods, Mello’s Italian Table is where it’s at. This restaurant has nailed the whole Italian dining vibe, and trust me, you don’t want to miss out. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance hits you just right. Think cozy, yet classy—it's got a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The decor strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern flair, making it the ideal backdrop for a chill night out with friends or a date that could lead to something serious. The soft lighting and smooth Italian tunes will have you feeling like you’ve just stepped onto a picturesque street in Florence. Now let’s talk about the menu. Mello’s Italian Table serves up a killer selection of Italian classics that will have your taste buds singing. Kick things off with their homemade bruschetta or creamy burrata—both are loaded with flavor and perfectly shareable (if you’re feeling generous). For your main dish, while they don’t make their own pasta, the options they offer are fantastic—think rich sauces and fresh ingredients that hit all the right notes. And we can’t forget about the drinks. Mello’s has an awesome wine list that pairs beautifully with whatever you choose to chow down on. The staff is super knowledgeable and can hook you up with the perfect recommendation. Plus, their crafted cocktails are a vibe—each one is a creative mix that’ll elevate your dining experience. Speaking of the staff, the service here is top-notch. The waitstaff is friendly and genuinely passionate about what they do, making sure you feel like a valued guest rather than just another table. They’ve got a way of making you feel at home while keeping things professional—a true balance that’s hard to find. In a nutshell, Mello’s Italian Table is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in

    We had a memorable Valentine’s Day dinner at Reve. The place was beautifully decorated and everything we ordered was excellent. From the moment we got there to the time we left, everyone was so friendly and courteous and our service was amazing, it’s like visiting old friends.

    We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!
