    We have a very nice celebration dinner. The food and service were good. It is a spendy dinner but it was a worthwhile evening.

    My partner and I visited Choutte for dinner prior to heading to the Ohio Theater to see Peter Pan. Seated at a 2 top to the right of the stairs. Our server Thomas was top notch, attentive and explained any questions we had about the menu. A lot of activity coming from the kitchen, but I like watching the food come out. We started with the foie gras as well as the chicken liver mousse. Both solid dishes, but the foie gras was our favorite of the two. We did the Bouillabaisse for two and I’m so glad we did. It was fantastic. Fairly substantial portions of seafood and the stock was so hard for me to not continue mopping up with bread till it was gone. We finished up by splitting the chocolate mousse (wish I had ordered my own) and having a cappuccino. We really enjoyed our visit and plan to return, especially for the bouillabaisse.

    We have been several times now and the service is always great and the food is consistent, it is a bit loud. My one complaint this time is that we were seated upstairs and it was ridiculously hot, if you don’t want to sweat through dinner then I would suggest booking a table downstairs.

    Exceptional staff! The service….impeccable! The steak was not cooked properly, but the server and management resolved the situation. I am grateful. I’m always happy with my Chouette experience….specifically, my spirit-less cocktails! Yummm!!! Thank you

    The food and service were exceptional, as usual. However, our table's proximity to the kitchen resulted in a rather noisy dining experience, making conversation difficult. While we've enjoyed dining there frequently, last night's experience may lead to a temporary pause in our visits.

    Staff was friendly. Service was excellent. Gruyère cheese puffs were very good along with the Frites. Duck confit salad so so at best. Barely any duck to be found. My son had the ham sandwich and enjoyed it.

    One of the best restaurants I have been to in awhile. It’s French! The food was phenomenal from appetizer to the dessert. Oh, the broths in the foil gras, and the mussels. Delicious. I want to return and I just left!

    The food and service were outstanding. We were seated near the kitchen, so the noise level was little more than other areas of the restaurant, but not enough to spoil the ambiance.
