Best European Restaurants in University Hills

Long time diners at La Merise. Wonderful, cozy, neighborhood spot. Excellent service . Ordered 3 of our “usual” meals. Slight differences in all 3 makes us think new chef. Sauce a bit congealed (tasted great however) and prep slightly different (salmon appeared seared instead of poached). Prices increased a bit also. Guess it is a sign of the times.

Amazing food and wonderful service, highly recommend making a reservation (we did based on a suggestion from a local friend) as it is on the smaller side. Drinks menu is also extensive and has a lot of creative options. Our family loved sharing appetizers (including a dip with pomegranate seeds!) and our teen loved her hibiscus & passion fruit mocktail as well. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food, too.

Had a grilled chicken salad. The chicken was over cooked and hard to chew and swallow. Atmosphere was great, as usual. Service was fine. Should of ordered the salmon!

Nate was a phenomenal server, especially for Valentine's Day. We were running a bit late due to the weather and getting parking but that wasn't an issue. The salmon was seasoned to perfection, the quinoa's texture couldn't have been better, the zuccini, squash and tomatoes were flavorful, and the sauce was divine. Raspberry vodka was definitely an attention-catcher that led to a carafe of it, which we'll be back for another and to try more flavors. The grapefruit was also enjoyable, just not as tantalizing, but there's certainly something for everyone.

Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.
