We dined at La Fontaine on Saturday night. I had the duck, and my wife had a pasta dish with seafood (pappardelle?). It was easily the best duck I've ever had, and my wife was very happy with her seafood. The restaurant is classy, clean, and quiet enough for a lovely conversation, and the service is excellent.

Good food and excellent service. We were there for a birthday celebration and the waiter gave us the perfect amount of attention. He was right there when we needed him, and left us alone to have fun otherwise! Will go back for sure!

Came here for lunch with a friend. The pizza that was recommended by the server was limo and soggy and laden with undercooked mushrooms, but not much of the other ingredients that were supposed to be on it. I didn’t send it back because we didn’t have time, but probably will not go back again.

Loud to the point of unable to hear the conversation of those at my table; there were just two of us at the table; I had to send my order back because they didn't bring the right order (TWICE!). I won't be back

La Fontaine is a nice restaurant and has been around for years. I met my friends for dinner to celebrate a birthday. The bartender was great. We all enjoyed our cocktails and food. We will definitely return.

Exceptional service and great food. The crab cakes did not disappoint. The boneless burgundy ribs were very tender and flavorful. We will definitely come back for another date night.
