Warm welcome, friendly, smiling, and great service throughout dinner. The Shrimp and Calamari Tempura was fabulous - tasty and plentiful - with a delicious creamy dipping sauce. The Duck Confit was on the small side, but well prepared (not greasy), and accompanied by a lot of delicious brussels sprouts, and a vegetable puree. The Lamb Tagine was a good size shank, cooked to perfection and very tasty. We'll be back!

French Rotisserie has become one of our favorite go to restaurants in the area. Food is very good. Chicken especially is excellent. My wife love the beef sandwich. French onion soup will not disappoint. Last few time Lauren has been our waitress. She is wonderful.

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!

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.
