    We have been coming to La Piquette for many years. We often bring friends and family and they become instant fans. Have never been disappointed. Not pretentious. Just great, simple, Authentic French food created by Francis.

    The wine list is outstanding. I felt like I was at a French Bistro in Paris.

    Relaxed without being rushed by servers. Food excellent: not over-fancy but very good. Some French restaurants are very snotty. Friendly service good food and wine, bit noisy- more lively than noisy. Fully deserved 5 stars.

    This is one of my favorite “go-to” restaurants. The service, food and atmosphere are what keep me coming back. The bartender never misses the mark and our favorite server Jenny is a gift. I’m a regular and am made to feel like family every time I come in, which is often.

    We love the food, service, wait staff and ambiance; it’s a wonderful old-school French Bistro, with a daily menu and great cocktails. They are always busy, clearly a neighborhood fave, and it is VERY loud; difficult to hear each other at a 4-top. Nevertheless, we keep coming back!

    A very pleasant experience. We dined early, only a few tables had patrons so the experience was delightfully peaceful. The greeting was quite cheerful, including the offer to take our coats. We were given our choice of seating for our reservation and chose to be near the window. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Bread was brought. We chose not to have wine with dinner this evening. The meals and soup du jour were delightful.

    Super attentive staff, delicious food, and a charming atmosphere (and clientele!) made this a superior dining experience. We especially enjoyed the oysters, red ginger fizz cocktails, and the dessert selections!
