    I hate to tell anyone that L'Ardoise is so wonderful because they will get even busier and will be harder to get a reservation! But that is just selfish! L'Ardoise is a neighborhood gem and transports you to another world, well, France! The Steak Frites and Coq a Vin are staples that will not disappoint. But then there is also something new and interesting to try. The service is terrific and, like I said, the place transports you to a bistro in France with its amazing ambiance.

    A date night classic that never disappoints. The way the staff splits shared items is amazing.

    This is our fourth visit and it was amazing, as always. We brought our friends visiting from Paris and they said the dinner was fabulous and the flavors were out of this world. We can't wait for the our next visit.

    Truly a neighborhood gem. Moved back to the city over twelve years ago and have been attempting to dine here, and am sorry that it took me so long! Great all the way around with food, service and ambience. Look forward to returning soon.

    Food came out fast and not in a good way. Salads and appetizers at the same time. Made us feel like they wanted us to get out quick. Food was ok.
