Thank you for a ruined night, Mister French. Establishments expect patrons to make and abide to their reservations, often made several weeks in advance, but Mister French shared no common courtesy when they chose to “temporarily shut their doors” and leave guests standing on the street. Arriving to our 8pm reservation we found the restaurant dark and the doors locked. There was no signage indicating the temporary closure, I hadn’t been contacted by the restaurant about closing, yet received an email and text message that I had to confirm I’d be showing for my reservation. Other patrons found themselves in the same position when they arrived. At the very least Mister French could have posted on their social media, after all, after looking through comments on their last post they responded to a comment that they’d only be “temporarily closed,” so clearly they were aware. I would proceed with caution before making a reservation at Mister French since they flippantly lock their doors on waiting guests and lack all professionalism when it comes to alerting them of a known, expected, closure.

Everything was just okay! We felt rushed once we sat down like it wasn’t a calm experience. The waiter was trying to upsell us & his attitude just seemed bothered. The main item on the menu was sold out which was weird. It was my birthday & all in all I felt like I would’ve had a better experience elsewhere. Next time I’ll just go for happy hour so my expectations aren’t too high!

Mister French is an absolute hidden gem, I can’t believe more people don’t have this place on their hit list! The food was incredibly tasty, highly recommend the Brie appetizer with black truffle and honey and the whole roast chicken entree that is made table-side with a show. The cocktails were amazing, great vibe and impeccable service, can’t wait to come back here again.

We came here for our 5 year wedding anniversary and it was such a great night. They gave us glasses of Prosecco which was nice (it was good too!). In fact everything I ate was really quite amazing. I had the salmon in crispy rice which was delicious - fresh, crunchy, chewy. Then I had the burger. I’ve never really tasted something like that before. I don’t even know how to describe the flavors other than just really ridiculously tasty. My partner got the shrimp cocktail which he loved and the filet mignon, which while he said was very tasty and had an amazing flavor it was chewy in a way that a filet mignon should not be. He made our server aware and the server was so apologetic and was sure to tell the chef. He still ate the whole thing though so it couldn’t have been that bad. So then since the server felt so bad he gave us some Nutella crème brûlée on the house. It was the perfect ending to such a tasty meal

Was there during the week and it was so pleasant and good that we went back on a Saturday evening. Whole different vibe. Place was loud and disorganized. If you’re looking for fine French food generally you’re not expecting a techno dance track pounding in a noisy room. Greeted by hostess who said hello and interrupted the greeting by taking a phone call while we stood there. Numerous empty tables but we were kept waiting for 20 min despite asking twice to be seated. Surprising bc there seemed to be plenty of staff. Too bad as food was quite good except one person’s halibut was over cooked. Drink order wrong as well.

The food was a feast on the senses, of course. But it’s more than that! It’s intimate and thoughtful for each table. If you’re looking to go on a date and you want everything perfectly romantic (but a little clubby) this is the place!! So much care. So much fun.

This is a very special restaurant. Food in incredible for the most part, with very creative and delicious mix of Asian and French cuisines. Only thing we didn't like was the seating at some tables was awkwardly laid out with long, so that for a table of four, two people sit side by side and the other two are on the ends. It's hard to have a conversation this way. We moved to a better layout.

Cocktails were good food was OK, but was so grossly overpriced. They seem to be an instagram restaurant with a fake floral photo backdrop, overly garnished drinks and a whole chicken stuffed with a bouquet of lavender that they light on fire at the table. The server didn’t know the menu very well, not what you’d expect from a restaurant trying to go for a fine dining vibe. There used to be a David Burke restaurant with the same name and Google has that in the description for this place, but according to a David Burke’s website, it is not. Also we were informed that the concept is French with an Asian twist, but that really did not come across in anything we saw. Overall it was not a bad dining experience, but definitely not fine dining as the prices and white tablecloths would suggest.

valentines meal was extremely expensive for what was served. a series of really small portions or bites without bread/butter. I fully expect overpriced meals on valentines day, but to receive such small portions was upsetting. service was poor, music was terrible and not what you expect during dinner. on the positive side, food was very tasty. too bad you had to wait so long for each course and that portions was small even for a French restaurant.

First, the server had to take our order twice due to issues with handheld device. The menu is small and he should have been able to note what we all ordered. Second, he was not attentive and rarely attended to our table. There were not that many tables at the restaurant. Third, the waiter never mentioned dessert options. When we asked he mentioned that we should have asked him earlier. Overall service needs to be improved and better training of wait staff on how to to take orders.

I could not give the food a zero on the website, which it deserved. The kitchen has no clue how to make French food, Certainly not what I learned at cooking school in Paris. Can you imagine the manager denying our guest's complaint about inedible food and him refusing to take it back but packing it up for her to take and charging her? No one at the table ever wants to eat there again. Dishes are heavily salted, quite awful. Don't blame the wait staff, they are great. THE MANAGER NEEDS RETRAINING.
