- WWendyvipPhiladelphia County •30 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoyed Chez Colette's Thanksgiving Buffet today. Included were sufficient choices to satisfy the glutton and the gourmet. Among the star dishes were a pheasant pâté, the pastrami salmon, and all the desserts (the bite-sized bûche de Noël, the pumpkin verrine, the chocolate and orange tartelette, and the pecan-bourbon pie were particular hits). Less impressive, in my opinion, though still good, were the "chicken pâté" (note omission of the word 'liver' though it was a chicken liver pâté) which needed something to kick it up (providing mustard would have helped) and the squash soup which needed a bit more cream; lacking cream, I added salt which helped a bit. The service was superbly attentive; the noise level very comfortable for quiet conversation. The bistro decor is in keeping with the brasserie theme. The price for the meal (we took advantage of an early bird special) was very reasonable. Even without that discount, I would say that this Thanksgiving buffet is worth the price.More infoChez Colette - Sofitel PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• French• Center City•4.3
- LLaurievipLos Angeles •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were greeted, seated and then treated to a lovely dining experience. We started with a couple of the specialty cocktails-Romarin and Nouveau Basilic: their pour was generous as our drinks lasted through our meals. A bonus of a basket of bread was brought to our table, such a rarity! Baguette, sourdough and what seamed a seasonal bread with cranberry and walnuts with beurre---seemed such a treat! Our waiter was attentive and made well informed dinner suggestions after asking us our preferences and we enjoyed the beef bourguignon; duck a l'orange and roasted chicken.
