    We chose the Prix-fixe menu. Enjoyed each course at a leisurely pace. Staff could not have been more welcoming. Couldn't resist ordering a soufflé for dessert. We were there for a special occasion, but any visit there would be special.

    Why wait for a special occasion? We just wanted an elegant meal and impeccable service, so it was worth the drive. Note that you can request an a la carte menu if you don't want everything that's on the prix fixe. But I threw caution to the winds and uncharacteristically got dessert. Also, all the fish had a shellfish sauce or garnish, but you can get it without. Our server graciously subbed a beurre blanc. The food was superb and our servers were close to perfect (only one instance of trying to take one of our plates away before the other was finished). They even told us that just being there was a special occasion.

    Another perfect birthday celebration at L’Auberge Chez Francois! Our server, Fredy, was a professional in every sense of the word. He was a huge part of our delightful evening. We also appreciated the attentiveness of the sommelier. Thanks for a very memorable night!

    Always a pleasure to dine at L’Auberge. Our server, Eric, was our server, highly professional, knowledgeable, personable yet not intrusive. We enjoyed our meals, especially the dessert soufflés. Alex, the sommelier, is always helpful and attentive, and provides excellent guidance to try wines we might not otherwise choose. L’Auberge is a high-end dining experience, and one we enjoy every time we visit. Merci beaucoup!
