    Always on point with service and food. My only negative ever visit, it gets so hot sitting upstairs. Desperate need of air circulation! Otherwise, I love Chouette!

    Crowded, felt shoved into our table and eating on top of the people next to us. Other than that, great food. Great setting. Great service. Great drinks.

    The best French onion soup made from veal broth. Perfection for a cold evening meal!

    Enjoyed dinner very much but a little disappointed in our food. The presentation of the bouillabaisse was top notch but it lacked depth of flavor. Needed more seasoning or something. Pate was very good. Will be back.

    Poor dining experience tonight. Food was subpar and our table was freezing with a draft from the heating system, that had the air conditioning on in cold tempatures. I won't be returning anytime soon.

    Amazing experience! Shoutout to our amazing server Alejandro, who recommended dishes and beautifully explained the menu. The ambiance was beautiful, very French which is the whole point. I loved the silly owls hidden around the restaurant. Definitely had attention to detail. Our food was exquisitely flavorful. Somehow both sweet and salty. We ordered the burger and the French Onion soup! The burger came with fries that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside yum!!! Would definitely come again.
