First time, and will not be the last. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were 10/10. Happened to dine on Wednesday. Who knew it was jazz night! Holiday season decor made it extra special. Great attention to details. Oh, and this is a biggie for me… the restrooms were clean!!

We had an exceptional dining experience on Christmas Eve. Our three main courses of cod in parchment paper, veal with mushrooms and lamb shank were all outstanding and perfectly prepared. In addition to a great wine selection, the cocktails hit the mark. And a very special finish with Irish Coffee created at the table with finesse and flair! We were personally greeted by the owner as family and will definitely return. Thank you so much for making this a special and festive occasion.

Delicious, as usual. Quiet enough that it was easy to carry on a conversation, We were on a tighter schedule than our normal visits there, and the wait staff were very understanding and helpful. I love to go and spend a leisurely lunch or dinner at La Cote D'Or, but if you have an hour or slightly more, you can still get a wonderful meal and experience for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
