    Not absolutely great and definitely not terrible. My husband and I hadn’t been here for 15+ years and then realized why that was the case. Not much had changed and while that’s great, I think I was just a little more hopeful than that. Oh well, I got to eat with a cute man on a lunch date so I was happy. Le Colonial cocktail was less boozy than I had hoped for a $23 drink. See you in another 15 years.

    Superb Gourmet Vietnamese dishes with a French twist. The ambience is as special and ideally suited to the fare! You’re transported to Old Colonial Vietnam complete with the tropical flavor of banana trees, rotating ceiling fans, a multitude of French lanterns, scattered tribal rugs and old black and white vintage photographs from the French Colonial era. We particularly enjoyed the sea bass and the green curry shrimp. The cocktails were all excellent!
