    Absolutely delicious! Every course was better than the next and it started off mind-blowingly yummy. Ambiance was perfect for our date night. Would highly recommend to others.

    As always, outstanding. You know what you are going to get when you come here, and they deliver. The only thing I would like to see is some new items on the tasting menu.

    My family and I went to Bonaparte for a birthday and Mother’s Day celebration. The menu had several delicious options - we all had a hard time choosing our meals! The braised short ribs and lobster pasta deserve a particular mention, and the duck breast was also fantastic. Additionally, the creative cocktails and special attention to presentation of the meals made the overall experience wonderful for everyone.

    Bonaparte was exquisite. The veal chop was to die for. My wife loved the mushroom ravioli, smoked salmon and the salad. I lost count of how many times she said “Oh My God” when she took a bite. The recommended wine was fantastic and we finished it off with a Grand Marnier soufflé. Que magnificent!

    This was an exceptional experience. Before we were seated, we were at the bar, where we had a great conversation with the bartender, who made us lovely drinks. The dining room was lovely, the service was excellent, and the tasting menu was delicious and well presented. This is a great restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a lovely classic French meal.

    I had a lovely dinner here. The place is beautiful, and easy to reach from the metro (Place d’Armes). The atmosphere felt very welcoming. The food was delicious, and the waiters were kind and attentive. It was a truly pleasant experience, and I look forward to coming back. ——— J'ai passé un très bon moment. L’endroit est magnifique, facile d’accès depuis le métro (Place d’Armes), et l’ambiance très accueillante. Les plats étaient délicieux et les serveurs, gentils et attentionnés. Ce fut une expérience vraiment agréable, et j’ai hâte d’y revenir.
