Our food was great. Our table was ready for us upon arrival of our reservation. I love that they have pretty much eliminated the use of seed oils in the restaurant. I always feel good when leaving from a meal here. Came with a big party and three were small kids- the server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

This is one of our go to places for a special meal out. The escargot is I think the high point of the appetizer menu. It was excellent. I tried the flank steak for the entrée and it was very good. Flavorful. The medium rare is on the rare side of that finish. They are in midstream of a refreshing/renovation which should be completed it sounds like in mid February. Very much looking forward to seeing the new updates.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Le Colonial. Everything from check-in to dessert was perfection. The atmosphere was chic and warm. The service was impeccable and every dish we had was fresh, flavorful and downright delicious. I could eat the Papaya Salad and Beef Ravioli every day. Most of all, we never felt rushed which lends to a lovely dining experience.
