    Some of La Piquette’s menu offerings (both edibles and potables) seem quite pricey, especially when the quantities standardly offered are considered against the price(s) asked. Perhaps this restaurant’s operating principle is: “what the market will bear”?

    The ambience, food and service were outstanding! La Piquette is always excellent, but the Christmas Day was over the top.

    A perfect place to have a delicious Christmas lunch. Food was perfection and the ambiance of La Piquette is intimate and lively and charming and comfortable. Decorated so prettily. Love this restaurant on any day but today was particularly memorable. The price fix menu was expansive and the food—and wine—were superb.

    5 of us went for the prix fixe on Christmas Day. No one got a dish that was anything but amazing including the beef tartare, salmon tartare, calamari a la Provence, duck confit, veal chop…. The vibe is very low key French bistro but the service is outstanding. And they didn’t rush you through the courses. It was fantastic

    Overall I was not impressed with the restaurant. Food entrees (Mussels and Scallops) had a nice presentation but mediocre flavour at best. Nothing to write home about. The chocolate mousse while it too had a nice presentation, the flavour was average. I've had better tasting mousse from Wegmans. Service was also lacking. Waiter took out order and never returned to check on our food
