    It had been 20+ since my last visit to L’Auberge Chez Francois and that was my all time favorite meal, which set the bar very high. Everything we ordered was amazing. It was as good as I remembered.

    The staff is top notch. Our server, Freddie, was a gem! The food was excellent. Although there is perhaps too much for me, at least it was delivered at a generous pace.

    A lovely dinner al fresco for four We had been concerned about the heat, but a breeze, fans, and the setting sun made the outdoors perfect. Very good dishes all around (notable was the soft shell appetizer special stuffed with even more crab meat). The only disappointment was a duck breast that was overdone and tough. Excellent service from the sommelier and the entire wait staff. Service like this is a disappearing gift.

    Thiis was our first lunch date at L'Auberge Chez Francois after many lovely evening dinners there. We enjoyed a warm ambiance, outstanding service, and a lovely 4-course lunch, superbly prepared , and served timely. We ccelbrated a late Fsther's Day and were surprised with a sweet extra touch at the completion of our lunch date. Our compliments and warmest thanks to all who participated in making this a special occasion!

    Simply the best, our family has been going to the Auberge for almost fifty years (for multiple generations). It’s our go to restaurant for major family occasions and celebrations. Food, ambiance, and service outstanding as always. When we go to the Auberge we always joke that absolutely every dish will be superb and, it always is! Why this restaurant doesn’t have at least 2 Michelin stars is just beyond me! On the other hand, maybe just keep this place as a secret culinary treat!
