   This is my go-to spot for every kind of occasion. Reliably delicious across the board. Pleasant bistro atmosphere. Attentive service (though my waitress seemed a bit stretched thin on my most recent visit, she was still lovely and orders were perfect). Fabulous fries. Brilliant onion soup and soup de poisson. Perfect omelets. Messy but delectable burger. Lovely wines by glass and bottle. Yummy desserts. And my absolute favorite - the amazing Bibb lettuce and herb house salad. The fresh tarragon touch in there adds so much. Honestly, you just can’t go wrong here. Run, don’t walk. You won’t regret it.

   Cafe Colline is one of the best dining experiences in the area. I had to make reservations three weeks out but it was worth the wait. The house salad, mussels and burger were superb. I will gladly dine there again.

   I had a lovely meal of escargot, potato encrusted salmon and Mocha crème caramel for dessert. Adam, my server, was attentive and knowledgeable. I will definitely return when I’m next in town!

   Classic French bistro dishes done extremely well in a pleasant neighborhood atmosphere. Poulet Roti, Cassoulet and Confit Canard all met a high standard. The Cassoulet was particularly welcome as we've had bad luck at other places in the area where it's often been dry and pasty. This one was rich, creamy and hearty (as it should be!) Service is attentive but unobtrusive. Sadly it's a little too pricey to be a weekly staple, but we'll definitely be back!

   Always great food and attentive staff. Looking forward to seeing the menu updated for spring—bring back the pork with hen of the wood mushrooms!

   The Bibb lettuce salad is sublime. Generous portion and perfectly seasoned.

   My third visit and, again, this is a true gem in the neighborhood . It's not large so reservations are a must. The mint chocolate chip ice cream was the best I have ever had; beware, you must like fresh mint! One recommendation for improvement: change the menu a little - three visits over six+ months and I have not seen any change. Food is excellent but a little change might be good.

    This place is terrific. Great servers, great menu. A bit on the loud side for me but we enjoyed our dinner immensely.
