This restaurant never disappoints. They had changed the menu since we were last there but the food is still exceptional. The escargot was perfectly done, they have the option of creating your own salad and it was delicious, and of course we enjoyed the superb Beef Bourguignon. The hidden gem with the jambon sandwich…WOW! Thank you for a scrumptious evening!

This place was super cute and the charm and ambiance was exactly what I was looking for! The food was AMAZING!!!! It was actually surprisingly affordable. The rotisserie chicken was so good and I never knew how much I needed the basil sauce in my life. Will def go back if we ever come visit Palm Springs again!

Overall nice. Hadn’t been in awhile. Liked the new flexible menu, great value for the food. Had halibut the meunière sauce was a bit too much and too salty. Carrots were great, friends chicken was really good. Puréed sweet potato not so much. Best baguette. Service was flat, waiter could stand to be warmer.

We were pleased to see the restaurant busy at 815 on a Saturday night. We were greeted at the door by the owner and was very welcoming. We were seated at the only table available but it was the perfect one for us. The room was full of tables with smiling and conversing diners, a welcoming atmosphere. We were seated, our server greeted us. We were glad for the great start to our dinner. He had honest recommendations and gave us a little background of the restaurants menu. This was our first time hear and we had some questions answered. We ordered the pate ( very generous portion a party of 6 would enjoy) and French onion soup to start. We didn’t feel rushed while he checked on us. We ordered the halibut sandwich and the quarter chicken with carrots and green beans(Dijon mushroom sauce on the side). All of our choices were very well prepared and we were very happy with them. We ended with the apple tart and gelato. Our server, Ethan, was very professional, very personable, and very efficient. So much so we assumed he had been there for a few years. The fact is he has been there a few weeks. Hopefully, you have the pleasure of getting his table when you dine there. Overall, French Rotisserie is a place to have a very nice meal with a group of friends or just a romantic dinner for two. There are many selections on the menu for us to return and enjoy. We hope you get chance to enjoy the same experience we did.

We had reserved an outdoor table but the day turned cold and windy. All the inside tables were reserved but the owner (?) took pity on us and let us move inside… as long as we could be finished by 7:00. We had an absolutely delicious dinner, if a little rushed. We so appreciated their kindness!

This place has changed their menu and offerings since the last time I was here. In concept having some roast meats and sides available as a la carte options sounds good but I don’t think it is executed well on the menu (food was very good) it makes it sound like they only want to do take out. Their wine list has changed a lot too not as many options as I remember. Now about the food…the flavors are right on. I had a jamon and cheese sandwich which was very tasty and a glass of wine. My sandwich and glass of wine was $50. Service was good okay I’d give it more like 3.5 stars. They took my order, not quickly but took it, food was delivered, not quickly but delivered and one check in after I had my food and not quickly to see if I needed anything (like pepper for the salad) but they did check in.
