    Had a great meal. Our apps were wonderful. I had the steak tartare and my husband had the escargot. For entrees, my hubby had the short ribs and it was delicious! However, my beef bourguignon was not that great. It was very tough and dry. The noodles were clumped and difficult to eat. This will not stop us from returning. The short ribs were so good, I’ll order those or the lamb. We heard another table praising how great they were. We finished with the crème Brulee and it was very good. We will definitely return! Our waiter Kyle deserves a shout out. He was awesome!

    We enjoyed Sunday Brunch at La Cuisine. It was a delightful experience! The party included myself, my husband and our 2 daughters (8 and 19). We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who showed us to our table. Our waiter Shawn was awesome! He had great recommendations and kept our drinks full. The food was amazing! We started with the escargot and the French bread basket. It was perfect! Then we had a chocolate crepe, the burger, eggs muertte, and an egg Benedict. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly and so so delicious. We finished our meal with a crème brûlée. We will definitely return when back in town. Thank you for an amazing meal!

    Very nice restaurant. They had live music near the bar which was loud so we moved tables. Food is great and service was awesome. Wish they’d put flowers or some sort of decor on the tables.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. The Rack of Lamb is so delicious the way it is seasoned, it’s truly amazing. Also enjoyed the Frog Legs, which is a special treat. Service and ambience is great.
