    We loved it here! Such an amazing gem, perfect for special occasions. Loved the cocktails, cheese selection, and dare I say the perfect fries. We will certainly be back.

    We had a great meal this evening. Our server- Emily was great. We were in a hurry to go see A Beautiful Noise -The Neil Diamond Story at the Ohio Theatre & Emily was able to get us checked out in plenty of time for our show. I had the Coq Au Vin - chicken with noodles, Pearl onions, mushrooms & lardons & the Dirty French Caesar salad - both were very good - so flavorful. We had a great dining experience & will be back soon!! Thank you!

    Had a reservation, and we were seated about 40 minutes after our reservation time. Food was OK, but nothing great.

    Took my wife to Chouette for our anniversary and was our first time trying it. Everything was amazing! The food was wonderful all of the wait staff was very friendly and helpful! We started with the oysters, they were very fresh and succulent with the house made cocktail sauce. I ordered the mussels and fries while my wife ordered the 7oz tenderloin and fries. My mussels were all cleaned and open save 1. The white wine ragù that the mussels came in was so good when soaked up by the toasted baguette. My wife’s steak was the perfect medium rare and tasted amazing! We will definitely try Chouette again!!

    Probably one of the finest dining experiences we’ve had in Columbus in a long time. Everything was delicious and so well prepared. A fabulous menu filled with so many enticing options it was difficult to choose. Highly recommend the escargot, steak frites and crème brûlée. The chicken with perfectly crispy skin with crayfish was tonight’s special and was indeed special. Highly recommended - we can’t wait to go back!

    Our service was pretty bad, i usually never write reviews but it felt like too many things went wrong. As someone in the service industry I wanted to cut him some slack as I just got off work myself but felt like it would be noted when good or bad service happens. The server just took forever to greet us and while that never matters it was not even noted “I’ll be right with you” he just apologized a million times it was so awkward, then took forever to take our drinks orders, checking on tables next to us way more than us, asked us to check out the dessert but then forgot to give us the menu and was rushing us to order and asked to bring the bill before we even got the dessert then when the dessert got there just took the bill but we hadn’t even put the card in yet or taken a look so it felt like we were super rushed just so he could get the money and get cashed out to leave. Aside from that the food was great & so was the ambiance & the other server with an accent he was wonderful he brought us all our food and drinks.
