Our first visit to La French Touch was for Valentines day which was absolutely splendid. We immediately set a dinner for the following weekend with our good friends to share the experience. The menu is creative and very authentic French Cuisine, the service is friendly and professional and the ambiance is very inviting. It looks like we have found our favorite local French Restaurant - magnifique !

We went here to celebrate Valentine's Day. The atmosphere was quite as it was not very crowded the evening we were there. We were quite sure what to expect from a restaurant on the Newport Penninsula, but the food was excellent. We started off with the Gratineed Scallops. They were really good! For our entree's we had the duck and the lobster. Both were really great! The wine list was mostly French wines. With the help of our waiter, we selected a wonderful choice. As we normally drink California wines it was a fun change of pace. Overall our experience was really good. We would definitely go back again!

We dined on Valentines Day which I realize is not a good time to judge a restaurant. It was a pre-fix menu. The lobster butternut squash soup was excellent. I had the duck and it was good but not great. My husband had the halibut snd said it was a bit bland. The dessert looked great but we took it to go as we were full. We will go back at a non holiday time to try it again.

Went for NB restaurant week. We were pleasantly surprised that they added their Salmon and Clams to the entrée choices. It turned out to actually be "Salmon and Clam" but was a decent size serving overall. The Filet en Croute was large and tender with all the extras normally found with beef Wellington. Both entrees were cooked perfectly, juicy and to order doneness. Salad was not memorable, mixed greens missing the tomato medley, just a couple of really hard sour green grape tomatoes. The dressing was excellent, a light evoo and balsamic. The profiteroles dessert was actually huge and yummy, but the crème brulee was to die for. The best I've ever had.

Visited during restaurant week and had the dinner menu which included escargot, filet mignon en croute and creme brule. Everything was excellent. Nice to see an upscale restaurant in the area. I hope their pricing won’t scare off too many customers, especially the summer tourists.

Went for the dine Newport Beach restaurant week to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the food was tasty but very pricey (it was the $50 option) for what you get. I’m sure if we went without the special menu it would be more. Service was ok where it took long periods of time to get they appetizer (escargots), entree (filet mignon) and dessert (creme brûlée). Took over 2 hours for our food when we place our order within the 5 minute we sat down. Also they didn’t know what beers they had and their wines were more than Fleming’s. Then we got told we need to leave because they needed the table for the next reservation. Not a polite excuse me we need the table but a “my next reservation is here we need the table” statement. It was a so-so experience for a really small restaurant but wouldn’t go back. It’s a one and done food experience.
