Forget all those trendy restaurants. Our experience at this restaurant was superb. I highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Crostini and the Goat cheese with caramelized onions. Everything from the cocktails to the attentive server to the tiramisu was outstanding. And the prices were refreshingly reasonable. We will return!! Soon!
We had a delicious experience at La Fontaine! We ate outside thanks to the warm weather. Not noisy and it was easy to carry on a conversation. The smoked salmon crostini was very tasty and the crostini was crispy, but not hard. The appetizer for 2 provides a nice selection of 4 items all of which were delicious but I especially like the prosciutto wrapped melon! The melon was ripe and sweet and the prosciutto was flavorful. The Strawberry and Spinach salad was fresh and tasty. Topped our meal off with their special chocolate sponge cake and a mousse filling with strawberries and blueberries. We shall return again to enjoy some more of their menu items!
The menu options are diverse and appealing, the food was delicious, the service was very prompt and friendly, lots to seating indoor and outdoor. I definitely recommend this restaurant!
It was my wife's birthday, and the staff really took care of our rambunctious family party!
We all had very tasty meals, and the service was excellent. A great place to celebrate a special occasion.
Had been here on a Friday evening, Bruschetta was so good and so was the Eggplant Gratin.
Was very disappointed with Capellini la Pomme’d or - over cooked and bland!
Not going back to this place ever again!

We had a wonderful meal and the service was great. Thank you Norma for seating us at the nice table and keeping our glasses filled. Table bread was lightly toasted with a side of olive oil and herbs. The decor was really nice, cozy and warm. We had calamari, seafood pappardelle, meatballs burgundy, braised short ribs, cream of broccoli soup, beet salad, tiramisu and cappuccinos. All were really tasty and the portions were just right. This was our first time at La Fontaine and we plan to return. Highly recommend La Fontaine for good food, professional service and warm ambiance.
I really liked the vegetarian options, cocktails and ambience. My favorite item was the mushroom ravioli. The desserts and cocktails were also very good, I recommend the chocolate temptation if you're a chocolate fan and the tiramisu was also good. I also tried the the vegetarian and golden margherita pizzas, and angel hair pomodoro pasta and they were also good (recommend the ravioli over all of them though). Definitely one entee per person based on the portion sizes. For starters, the pistachio crusted goat cheese is worth it if you haven't tried before. Good ambience in a busy location.

The mushroom gnocchi was very good! Complimentary bread has a nice dip that tastes good as well! Service was quick and polite. Would come again!

This is the 2nd time I have been here (1x outside and 1x time inside). One of the best things about this restaurant is the diversity of appealing food items (French, Italian, Mediterranean, etc.) . Server (Didem?) was friendly and accessible, though the place was not that busy so don't know how service is when the place is very busy. Food taste and portions were good; prices were reasonable; and food was presented attractively. Duck breast and beef Wellington both got thumbs up. Would go back. Pro Tip: If the weather is good, sit outside.
Very good food, stable, we are happy every time

Grilled salmon was fantastic!
Risotto was underwhelming and dry.
Burger lacked flavor.
Steak frites were tasty, but the steak had too much fat.
Angel hair pasta was a hit with the kids.
Service was slow—only two waiters handling the whole floor + bar.
