I have dined at Le Colonial more than 20 times, and the quality of the food has been consistently outstanding. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are delicious. The service is impeccable—it is always a pleasure to be warmly greeted by Clark, the exceptional host, and served by Edwin, who is incredibly professional and friendly. The cocktails are fantastic, and while the wine list is not extensive, it is thoughtfully curated. Overall, Le Colonial never fails to provide an excellent experience.

We’re happy we chose to celebrate our 7th anniversary here. The establishment is truly deserving of its michelin star.
