   I have the tiger prawn ravioli appetizer w a very light almost wonton like pasta on them- very nice and paired well with the salad w goat cheese and walnuts. My son had the steak frites (the hangar steak) and was happy and impressed with the cooking temp of his medium rare order. Very nice wine selection! Friendly staff and fast service. Charming neighborhood spot.

   Amazing authentic French cuisine. Everything was spot on, down to the butter. I ate so much I couldn’t manage desert.

   When we go out to dinner my partner and I like to share/split the whole meal. When I asked if we could coarse the meal, they knew exactly what I meant and graciously accommodated us. We shared the special beat salad which was amazing, then shared Arctic Char which was cooked perfectly, we ended up ordering the special blackened ribeye and would order it again. We shared the floating island and apple tatin for desert. We will definitely be back

    We love L'Ardoise. The food is always delicious. If anything the service, which was always good, has gotten even better. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Can't wait to go back!

    Best meal we've had in a while. Everything was perfectly prepared and fresh, not too fussy but rich and incredibly flavorful. Great service, very cute unpretentious place, but the food is definitely the standout. Can't wait to go again to try everything on the menu!

    We enjoyed everything - brussel sprout salad, shrimp ravioli, coq au vin, duck confit & apple tarte tatin. Also, it has a good selection of wine at fairly reasonable price. The service was attentive & helpful - casual but not overly friendly. It really is a wonderful bistro perfect for any occasion from a date to a small group gathering. We particularly appreciate ample space between tables whereas it used to be tight pre-pandemic.

    L’Ardoise is a truly French restaurant. My wife and I celebrated our 28 anniversary last night. My only complaint was that the interior of the restaurant was freezing. Had I known this I would have chosen a table outside with the heaters. Still a memorable experience. Chapeau!!!

    Everything was very delicious at this French restaurant. We had the escargot, duck, lamb chops, coq au vin, and ribeye steak. For dessert, we had the creme brulee, Valrhona chocolate cake, and this delicious meringue coated with sliver almonds in a vanilla anglaise sauce. So yummy! We washed this down with two bottles of delicious French wines! The ambiance and location were great! Will be returning.

    I had been here a few years ago when my husband was at acute rehab from heart surgery near here. At the time, I ordered the hanger steak and I remember it was melt in your mouth tender along with a generous portion. The portion I experienced this time was enough, however the steak was chewy and not tender. My husband ordered the Chilean sea bass and that portion was quite small for $42! His fish was good, but not spectacular. Disappointing to say the least. I know restaurants are struggling and portion size is how they make up for it. However, I think quality is still important and once that is lost, then what truly remains in a $150 dining experience?

    We had a fun laughing enjoyable evening. Our server was so interesting and entertaining that we enjoyed the experience overall. Helped us make some beautiful photos for our memory. Food was amazing and we look forward going there again! Felt like being in Europe with all the charm that French restaurant has to offer.

    Our favorite go to restaurant. Authentically French and I feel like I'm in Paris when we dine here. The French speaking staff are wonderfully warm and welcoming. This is our fifth time eating here and we will continue to do so.
