    Outstanding and consistent every time. I have been a customer for a long time. I am never disappointed. The staff is attentive and very congenial, the ambiance is elegant but warm. I travel extensively all over the world, Bonaparte is by far my favorite restaurant.

    Dining at Bonaparte was an incredibly special experience. The location and interior is quite beautiful and the food is extraordinary. The tasting menu with wine pairing was well worth the splurge. From start to finish, every dish delivered was a delicious. The lobster with vanilla was other worldly and the Grand Marnier soufflé was such a treat! Matthieu, our server, was such a delight, guiding us through the menu and explaining all the pairings. Don’t miss this special restaurant. And the owners happened dining there as well the evening we were there and they were very kind and gracious people. A very memorable night!

    We enjoyed this meal. The food was good but I did not enjoy the lobster bisque. It did not taste fresh and it was grainy, not smooth.
