    We had a wonderful dinner as always. Our server, Andrew, was excellent. My husband had the special ceviche as his appetizer—delicious— I had the foie gras, which was wonderful. We had the house salad which is always very tasty. Then we had the chateaubriand, done to perfection! For dessert we shared a grand marnier soufflé, yummy, and the plum tart, delish. Topped off with a wonderful bottle of wine, our dinner was absolutely perfect! Thank you Chef and the entire kitchen crew, the very knowledgeable sommelier, and restaurant staff.

    I’ve been here a couple times and have always enjoyed my experience. The food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent! There’s a reason this restaurant has been in business as long as it has, and why it managed to escape the severest effects of the pandemic. I brought my parents for a birthday celebration and they loved it too, so we’ll definitely be back for the next birthday!

    We had a wonderful dinner at L’Auberge Chez Francois. The dinner was excellent, particularly duck breast salad. We enjoyed our Chateaubriand and Soufflé with Grand Marnier also. Finally, we received an outstanding service. Overall, it was a great dining out experience. Thank you. We will definitely go back again.

    Old world charm, exceptional French cuisine, and a staff which really wants to make sure you enjoy yourself. This is not "pop in for lunch between appointments" -- plan on a leisurely meal in warm surroundings. Fireplaces, white tablecloths, excellent custom cocktails and servers that don't rush you. Here no one rolls up your fork and knife in a paper napkin. This is not cheap but class never is. If you enjoy tasteful, elegant surroundings and fine food, L'Auberge is your only choice.

    L’Auberge is always a sophisticated, charming dining experience and never disappoints for quality of service, food quality and atmosphere. Attention to detail is never lacking regardless of who is serving the table. Chez Francois is routinely a dining experience and not simply going out to dinner.
