    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

    We were really looking forward to visiting this restaurant while looking at the menu online. The food was just…bland. Not good. I hope the owner will make adjustments. The space is beautiful. I want this place to succeed.

    Disappointing that there were no vegetarian entrees for brunch, and the chef would make no accommodations to entrees.

    Went with the prefix menus for myself and my husband. Flavor was there but the chicken was cold and salmon overcooked.

    A delicious meal and quality preparation of classics (escargot, coq au vin) with innovative offerings as well. The trout was delicious! Our server was lovely and professional as was all the staff. The ambiance is both energizing and intimate, especially the upstairs tables. A wonderful addition to the downtown culinary landscape.

    Fancy French restaurant we visited during restaurant week! Have to say, food was disappointing. The soup and salad were not all that special. The salmon had crispy skin which was nice but was easily overpowered by the bowl of garnish it was served on. The chicken had skin that was soggy. They ran out of the chocolate mousse I was looking forward to and instead served the worst crème brûlée. It was overdone and too thin in the bowl, leaving too light and liquid a consistency. Maybe I came on a bad night but I would not recommend given the other options in town.
