RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.
This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024

    Reve is such a local gem. Excellent service, prompt and efficient. They nailed the moules frites and and scallop risotto. Very easy to make pretty good, it takes skill to make it sublime. A round of clicks for the chef!

    Food was good but overpriced. For a special birthday, we had to buy dessert so they can put a candle to celebrate. We had to pay extra for a second basket of bread which consisted of 4 small pieces. We were disappointed. We will think twice before we eat there again.
    ReveResponded on December 11, 2024
    Thank you for joining us for your special birthday. We are honored by all who choose REVE for their celebration. We have 5-15 celebrants every night. To offer a "free" dessert for us, a small family owned business is just not realistic. Many guests are avoiding sweets, gluten or like something other than what we would choose - so it gets thrown away. We give a card signed by the staff and get many positive comments about that. Regarding the bread charge & "overpriced" food, our food is high quality and labor intensive. Many restaurants charge for ALL bread. When we gave unlimited free bread - we threw SO MUCH away every night. We believe we charge a fair price for the quality of food and top service we provide, and still provide a living wage to our team members.
