We were disappointed. It was very hot, our waiter (who was great) told us he asked management to tun on the AC which they did about half way through our meal. The noise was so loud we could not hear our waiter talk, and could barely hear each other. There weren’t that many people in the restaurant, I can’t imagine what it would be like if it was full!

A fantastic dinner. Wine selection is great, and the quality of the food is worth twice what they're charging -- everything we had was spectacular, and the service was attentive and kind. Absolutely, without a doubt, worth a visit.

Sat downstairs in a small seating area near the bar. It was quiet with a nice ambience - great for having a quiet conversation with friends. The food was very nice and the wait staff attentive.

This was our 5th visit and our last. We received one menu for the table, never saw a server and had to ask for one after waiting 10 minutes, had to ask for napkin & tableware, and the "large" wine serving is a total of 4 oz with a price tag of a normal glass (they also have a 2 oz serving!). On top of their high prices, there is a 5% surcharge (which is not for the servers but for the restaurant) Ordered and ate a cheese platter and decided to eat a real meal elsewhere. Thankful to be able to get in Le Diplomate where they serve healthy glasses of wine at a realistic cost. Surprised they are planning to expand to another neighborhood, good luck with that!

Terrible service - slow and careless. Food was mediocre at best - think hotel food trying but failing to seem fancy. Nice wine list but that can't make up for the rest of the experience.
