    I had a wonderful experience celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Everything was delicious and I especially enjoyed the escargot and Salade de Chèvre Chaud. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was welcoming. Looking forward to returning in warmer weather and enjoying sunsets and historic Bowman Field.

    Another great meal at Le Relais. My wife enjoyed her salade de chevre chaud and I my caesar, followed by the trout entree for her, while I ate every last little bit of my halibut entree. We took home the steak tartare appetizer for my lunch today! If you have not dined there recently, make a reservation. Amy and her staff are offering a wonderful experience.

    Both food and service were excellent. Noise level was high for Sunday brunch but will definitely go again and have already suggested it to others.

    This is not our first visit, and I clearly remember why we chose to stop coming here. First of all, when I made the reservation, I specifically requested a corner table and mentioned that it was a birthday celebration. Both of these requests were completely overlooked. While I understand not all requests can be accommodated, a simple acknowledgment would have been appreciated. As for the food, it was merely average. The ambiance, while nice, was quite loud, and getting bread was a challenge. If that’s what you enjoy, fine, but it's simply not for us.
