Phenomenal! The best authentic French food I've ever had state-side. Every bite melts in your mouth. The service is impeccable, especially considering how much the staff has to hustle. I have Celiac disease and our server was very knowledgeable, and the kitchen rocked. Great wine pairing recommendations, true French Bistro ambiance, and one of the best meals we've ever had, which says a lot coming from someone who lived in France. Highly recommended!

This was our second time eating in this French restaurant. The front of the house is a bistro, and the back is a charming restaurant. During this visit, we ate in the Bistro and enjoyed several small plate options. Don't miss out on the Grand Marnier Souffle. It is sinfully delicious.

The food was outstanding and the ambiance quite pleasant. Our only complaint was that the main course was delivered almost as soon as the appetizer plates were removed. There should have been a break. Having said that, however, Le Rendez-vous is still one of our favorites for special occasion dining.

The food, drinks, ambiance and service were outstanding. Our waiter Jacob gave amazing service and remembered us from the last time we went - he even remembered what cocktail I ordered. This is our new favorite place - we would go more often if it weren't so far from where we live.

I have always enjoyed dining at Le Rendez-Vous but in this instance our server apparently failed to place our order for souffles which needs to be done at the time of taking our dinner order. The result was a 45 minute delay in getting dessert. Despite this disappointment we will return.

We booked this restaurant based on reviews, overall just ok … we took an assortment of small plates… escargots 3/5 a lot of sand , french onion soup 4/5 very well made, scallop- beautiful and big guess size 8 perfectly cooked but missing seasoning very bland 3/5, pâté 4/5 nice homemade pâté but again not seasoned need to add salt, brie en croute 4/5 very nice, we asked for a small plate of cheese to finish the bottle of wine….small plates where served in 40 minutes, this wasn’t on the menu, we received a huge serving of mozzarella, gruyère, blue cheese snd another portion of brie en croûte! Gruyère and blue would have been ok especially for 28$!

Overall, excellent service from start to finish! We arrived about a half hour before our reservation and were greeted very cordially and seated right away. We were expecting to wait based on all the cars in the parking lot, yet that was not the case. Our waiters name was Diego and asked us if we were there to celebrate our anniversary, afact he gleaned off of open table. That impressed my wife. The meal was excellent from the escargot to our main meal of Chilean sea bass for me and Atlantic salmon, which were cooked to perfection. The French wine was excellent and the dessert superb. We had Grand Marnier sufflet. That topped the evening for us. We will return again to this establishment and will highly recommend it to others.

This is a fine dining place, rich flavors, elegant presentation and small dishes. However the place and set up is not that fancy (a little outdated I would say). And it’s loud due to being a small venue. Overall a good experience though and I recommend it for sure. We when for dinner for our wedding anniversary.

My wife and I both ordered the duck. It was awful. It was incinerated. The wing was so charred that it was not, on first look. identifiable. We have been eating in good restaurants for 60 years and this was the first time that we sent food back to the kitchen. They did ask us if we wanted anything else and were very apologetic, but we had gone there for that dish, so we declined. The service was good, the setting was fine but that dish would never have come out of any kitchen where there is pride in their food.

Food was great, I had the Beef Wellington and the meat was cooked just as I asked. The environment was pleasant as there was not much noise, you could speak to your guest without having to raise your voice. To end the night my wife had the chocolate soufflé and I had the vanilla crème brûlée. Both were excellent. Overall this is a great place for a date night or a nice night out with friends.

We (two couples) very much enjoyed our evening in its entirety. Our server, Sophie, was delightful, and the food options were French Bistro exotic (escargot, foie gras, steamed mussels, duck, steak, salmon, and chicken,,,,all of it was exquisite. The wine options were solid, the desert was great, and my only disappointment was the French onion soup. That said, we loved it, and we will be back. VictorB

We were able to get a same day booking very last minute and we absolutely lucked out! Natacha took amazing care of us- to be fair, all of the staff were polite and very attentive- but she really paid attention and allowed us an amazing experience. The French Onion soup was perfection in a bowl! Our entrees came out hot and cooked beautifully. The potato sides were especially good as well! We ordered the pithivier for dessert and we were surprised with a crème brûlée (we were celebrating our anniversary). We are out of towners, but if we ever find ourselves back in Tucson we are 100% coming back to Le Rendez-vous!

always delicious food, not the usual fare, service good and pleasant attitude of staff, fine liquor selection. I love the "small menu" as it's like a tasting menu with just right portions so i can order 2-3 different items and still have room for deserts. yum. I consider this our special events place to go because it's a bit pricey, but we don't feel gouged as the quality is so good. It's rich food--it's French--so be in the mood for lovely sauces to dip your fresh warm bread in. We've been coming here as long as i can remember--never disappointed.

My first visit was last night, I was greeted with a smile and friendly welcome. The dining room was too noisy, but the staff moved us to the other area which was much better. The service was very good, check on us periodically during the meal. The food was delicious. I thought the overall experience was excellent, I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends.
