"Wait staff was courteous and quite efficient, but hors'doeurve ordered did not come until we were all served our lunch. Our friend told her we did not want it any more. She agreed to take it back to the kitchen. We never checked if she took it off the bill and she never said one way or the other.
Overall rating, a little bit disappointing. One very good thing - we asked for a round table for the 6 of us and they provided it."

"My wife and I celebrated our fourth anniversary at Colette. The food was excellent, very refined and with subtle flavorings. We started with le salmon fume, a very delicate smoked salmon carpaccio. My wife had the salade maison, while I had the salade de chevre, both very good. For the main course, my wife had the sea scallops, which she said were among the best she's ever had. I had the tourneos Rossini, which was a little heavy on the foie gras, but otherwise perfectly medium rare and tender. We shared an apple glacee desert, which was kind of a deconstructed apple crisp, very light and subtle, the perfect ending. Service was attentive without being intrusive. All in all, a refined and elegant dining experience."

"We went to Chez Colette specifically for Sunday Brunch. As it turned out, Brunch was actually in the old Cafe Royale, not in Chez Colette. The manager kindly escorted us to Cafe Royale and we were seated in a lovely, sunny spot by a window. (Their Eggs Benedict with perfectly poached eggs has always been a favorite of mine.) We enjoyed a relaxed brunch with good food, good conversation and fabulous people watching."

"I had the Petit Bistro, which consisted of a salad, Gazpacho, and a Croque-monsieur. The dressing on the salad was just the right amount and it was fresh. The Gazpacho was probably my favorite part of the meal, because it really was fresh. I knew the Croque-monsieur would be greasy, and it was. But overall, I enjoyed my meal. It was just the right amount of food. The service was average, but at least they were polite."
