    The restaurant is beautiful, the noise level was low and all eight dishes were totally delicious. We highly recommend La Bise.

    Kitchen seems to have declined a bit. The food is good but the menu is a bit strange and the dessert menu is unappealing. But the ambiance is appealing and the service is very, very good.

    La Bise has the potential to be an awesome eatery. The bottle of wine we got was a good pairing for the veal and duck with orange sauce. The service was excellent this time. However, small amenities in the bathroom (men's and women's), such as hand lotion and a pleasant scent, are lacking. I guess we have been spoiled by top-notch amenities in other eateries of the same caliber. Overall, we had a decent experience, considering it was not my top choice because other choices were unavailable at the time.

    Seated 40 minutes after reserved time for food that wasn’t worth it. Six dishes, none memorable. Go somewhere else.
