    Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!

    Food was well prepared especially the pasta dishes which were excellent. Our waiter was just okay and uninspired, putting in minimal effort and seemed unhappy about being there or pleasing us beyond basic service…maybe he was having a bad day or too many tables? We had booked the chefs table but we were disappointed in that it was in the middle of a busy and cluttered hallway that leads to the bathrooms and the chef was nowhere to be seen - felt odd, and not particularly special, so we asked to sit in main dining which was the better choice. Food was the star.

    La Bonne Table serves a regular, limited and consistently excellent menu. There were four of us celebrating a birthday so we shared several appetizers and entrees. Great onion soup and escargot, and the crab lobster rillettes were surprisingly delicious. Every entree was great - we had cassoulet, the pork chops and the mussels. Large portions so leftovers the next day! Even the French 75 cocktail was great. We felt like we were in France; the ambiance was cozy and the neighboring patrons were friendly and chatty. A wonderful experience - highly recommend.
