    This little room off-shoot of Aboyer is insanely wonderful! Traditional French food done perfectly. The 3 course pre-fixe will leave you with a severe case of FOMO. It really is hard to pick just one from each category. And the bread service (with 3 salts no less!) further takes you back to France. Everything we had (fois gras 2 ways, escargot with black trumpet mushrooms, venison, stuffed quail, souffle, poached pear) was exquisite. Nice wine selections, knowledgeable service. Not that far of a drive if you live northside and worth the drive from wherever you need to come from. Looking forward to visiting again. I book marked it to make sure I don't forget!

    We loved our dinner at Silencieux for my husband’s birthday. The food was delicious with quite a few course choices within the prix fixe menu. It was a peaceful setting and easy to talk over dinner. Can’t wait to go again.

    Excellent dining — surprising array of choices on prix fixe menu, including excellent torchon and foie gras, and Dover sole boned tableside. Only issue was ambiance — it was a quiet weeknight, a fairly empty dining room, and the lighting was very bright — it felt like dining onstage.

    I loved this restaurant when it was Michael's. The new restaurant has only gotten better. The food is wonderful and sticks to classic French roots. A must try for anyone that loves great food.

    We had an advance reservation for 8pm but had to change at the last moment to 5:30 and not only was the restaurant accommodating but also they made it possible for us to get in and out without feeling rushed in an hour. Food is divine, especially the grand mariner soufflé's!!
