    In the best possible way, La Chaumiere is a gastronomic and cultural time machine. Guarding its traditions, and outstanding classic recipes, the charming atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food all make this restaurant a favorite. Experiment with nouvelle cuisine elsewhere: La Chaumiere delivers on point, from delightful soufflés to game and beef specialties. Especially nice in wintertime with the fireplace aglow.

    LaChaumiere is one of our "go-to" places for nights out with good friends. Friday night's dinner, the wait staff and ambience did not disappoint.

    Our table was placed right next to the waiters desk, therefore the waiters were constantly surrounding our table, talking, standing there, tipping into this order machine. Very annoying. The food was not the best at that evening, maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed. We were disappointed.

    The food was great as always, and the service good but we were stashed in the attic despite booking at least a month ahead. We were all by ourselves with zero ambience. One of the reasons I picked this restaurant for our Christmas Eve. Dinner was for the lovely fireplace and cozy atmosphere downstairs.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants and we have always enjoyed spending Christmas Eve there. Unfortunately, the food really was a disappointment this year. The lobster bisque tasted like it was watered down and the French onion soup had no flavor. In general, all of our entrees were under seasoned. The steaks did not live up to par either. However, the service was very good as usual.
