    The FOOD is the reason to go to Le Colonial; everything we ordered met and exceeded expectations. However, the restaurant's popularity is also the reason for a mediocre rating in other areas. The service was abysmally slow - it took 20 minutes for the server to take our initial drinks order and lunch took 2.5 hours. The ambiance is lovely and noisy, again - the place was packed. Not sure there is a slower time at Le Colonial and not sure I will go there anytime soon unless I have a whole afternoon to spend eating lunch.
