The exceptional quality of the food and service made for a truly memorable dining experience. The owner's warm hospitality and dedication to her guests' satisfaction were inspiring. Kasey's outstanding service exemplified the high standards of the establishment. His attentive and knowledgeable support ensured that our needs were consistently met, and his expert recommendations added to our enjoyment. The seamless execution of our dining experience was a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, and we are looking forward to our next visit. Amazing experience.

Service was excellent. Good wine selection however if you want just a glass it was limited. I ordered the eggplant steak and would order it again. My wife had the pork chop and was reluctant to share it with me because it was so good. Have the brussel sprout horderves they were great.
Collette’sResponded on June 13, 2025
Thank you, Martin for supporting Collette's and our farmers. We look forward to having you in again soon. Thank you for giving us kudos on our wine list. I think there is a saying that goes "why only have a glass, when you can have the whole bottle". But maybe I made that up... We do rotate our wines by the glass often if that helps. Let me know when you're coming in next and I will have some additional options for you. I am so glad your wife liked the porkchop, it really is amazing. We can't wait to cook for you again!

The meat and gravy were very salty. Unfortunately the meal was too salty to eat.’ The service and drinks were very good.
Collette’sResponded on May 31, 2025
Goodness Marc! I am disappointed that your experience here was not what we strive for. I looked up your check and saw that you and your guest actually split the "meat and gravy" so that means neither of you were able to eat dinner that night. I would have loved the opportunity to fix the issue while you were here, we would have remade it or offered another choice to you and your guest to share. At this point, two weeks later, I can only offer my regrets that I didn't have the opportunity to give you the experience you deserve.

Had a beautiful birthday dinner here. Phenomenal and gorgeous cocktails. We got the pork chop and rack of lamb for dinner. Both were very good. Meal portions were huge! We left stuffed! Can’t wait to go back and try other items on the menu :)

Great fine dining. The waitstaff was attentive and the food was delicious. One of the best cream bruliets I have had. Perfect end to a lovely meal. My only issue was the portion size. They were huge! Frankly, I would prefer a more modest serving and a lower price but I may be the minority. Perhaps next time my wife and I will share a single plate. We will be back!
Collette’sResponded on May 20, 2025
Peter thank you taking the time to write a note about your experience. I am so happy you enjoyed your time with us. I greatly appreciate your support for Collette's and our farmers. Next time you are in, I'd love to chat with you about your feedback. Sharing is always an excellent option.
