    Our meals were lovely, our server was lovely. The course timing was quite off.  We waited longer than expected for water, the delicious mocktail came after the appetizer; our cheese plate came without bread and by the time the bread came, our main courses came out within minutes and they took away the cheese plate. We either felt that the courses came out exceptionally slow or hurried, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber and price point. The patio looks lovely and we are looking forward to trying it one more time. Additionally, the small table next to the wine cellar are in a traffic path, and definitely not romantic.

    Chouette is a really nice restaurant. Love the decor however there is a row of tables along side the staircase that would make me feel so claustrophobic! Our waiter was good but some of the dishes came out lukewarm. We also weren’t told the price of the suggested glass of wine and were taken by surprise when the check came. Overall, a pleasant experience.

    The food & drinks were exceptional as always! This was our first lunch experience, and the service was slow. Members of our party went to the bar for drinks because we couldn’t find our server. The bartender was helpful!

    Food was great.. service could be better.. however the waiter was great explaining dishes and providing recommendations. And all were delicious. Service could be better in term of his presence as we literally had to wait longer for him to come to us to take our orders
