   No where when I booked did it say it was a pre fixe menu. They also wouldn’t serve my boyfriend because of his foreign ID and so we left. Very weird vibe. Inside felt like an olive garden it was absolutely packed 4 feet away at the bar and in no world would I have enjoyed an expensive pre fixe experience here. Would never recommend

   Poor service. Bland food. Loud. Several times had to ask twice for items. Attendants had no knowledge wine or appropriate pairings.

   Went for Valentine’s prix fix dinner. We were rushed through dinner so the restaurant could turn more tables. For $450 for two (including a couple drinks each), I don’t want to feel rushed. The food was decent, the waiter was excellent actually, but we felt like numbers.

   Staff was welcoming and attentive, food was delicious, great drinks and music & vibe was wonderful. Felt crowded but maybe they added extra tables due to Valentines Day.

   It was a lovely lunch. It's a very pretty restaurant. The food was good and the service was good also. We liked the menu and will be back to also try some other options. WE had the crispy vegetarian rolls, the chicken dumplings and the tuna tartar. I think the rolls were our favorite. Also the speical shaken teas from the bar were really great!

   We just dined at Le Colonial, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience that I won’t soon forget! Nestled in a charming setting that beautifully captures the essence of French Vietnamese, the ambiance alone transports you to another time and place. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who provided outstanding service throughout our visit. Their knowledge and genuine enthusiasm truly enhanced our experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for both a romantic family lunch/dinner and a special gathering with friends. The decor is stunning, with intricate details that pay homage to its cultural roots, creating a unique and inviting environment. Great and excellent as well as tasty cuisine. Overall, Le Colonial offers a unique experience that beautifully blends charm and elegance. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delightful evening out. I can’t wait to return and soak in the ambiance again.
