   I was very disappointed by my experience. Le Colonial is one of my favorite restaurants and I came for my birthday with friends and the staff was rude about a number of things. The manager and bar staff spoke very condescendingly to me and my friends and I will not be returning to this location. Food was excellent as always just a shame the experience was so bad

   Our server was terrible. Our guest had a shellfish allergy and she went over our whole order before we placed it and said everything was safe but the crispy vegetable rolls. When she brought out the entrees she said the red snapper was not safe. It was awkward bc she should have told us before she placed the order.

   Delicious was food as usual. My cocktail was weak. Not a great pour particularly at that price. Service was very good.

   Another nice time at Le Colonial, except they are still adding on a 3% surcharge to the check. The prices are already pretty high. What is the justification for the surcharge?

   Disappointed in service. New server. Had the tuna tar tar appetizer, unusually bland. Beef salad, green beans good but nothing special. Rib appetizer best of the meal, tender and tasty. Almond tart desert overcooked. Coffee served cold (like revenge?). All in all not great outing. May come off list.
