Impeccable experience. We got to the restaurant early, and I actually recommend getting an early dinner reservation to beat the rush because you’ll get a bit more attention from the servers that way. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and they had a little happy birthday card printed and leaned against a mini vase of flowers which was a nice touch that made it feel extra special. The food and drinks were wonderful - the fig leaf old fashioned completely stole the show as far as drinks. The Love and Murder cocktail was pretty and tasty. My favorites for the food were the potatoes pave, chicken liver mousse (the mix of sweet, savory, mineral, creamy, and crunchy is just spectacular), the fennel salad, pumpkin soup, and delicata risotto. Finish with some espressos to cleanse the palate. Just lovely for a little intimate and special dinner experience.

Every thing was perfect. Duck and beef were delicious, addictive chocolate cake. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Felt like a very decent Parisian restaurant. Highly recommended

The dishes are outstanding! The cuisine is french inspired, but with a twist, each dish was unique and unexpected, in a good way. It's a casual ambiance, we were a group a 4 and had a great time

The food and wine were excellent, the servers friendly and personable. The atmosphere was little less chi-chi than I expected at this price point.

Food was incredible!! Highly recommend for a date night or with a larger group. We pretty much ordered the entire menu and everything was a hit. Highlights included the salmon sashimi, fennel salad, honeynut squash, lamb, chicken, and farro.

This aspiring Michelin star restaurant delivers magic in every bit! Every item we ordered was beyond our expectations. Loved the hospitality, ambiance and vibes of this place. They welcome walk-ins too. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items.

I loved everything about this place! Easy to make reservations (aka I made them two days in advance and there was plenty of availability for a weekend) and the ambience is amazing. Beautiful lights, colors, and tableware (all the plates are stunning and different). For two people we got a carafe of wine (sparkling chenin blanc, wonderful!), four small plates and one large, and that felt like too much since the portions for the small plates were larger than we thought.
Our favorite was the corn risotto and peach/beet/ricotta salad. If I went back I would probably pass on the summer squash- it was recommended by our server but it was just ok and nothing special in my opinion. There were so many other dishes I think I would pick instead.

5 stars even with one bad dish! The environment and service are incredible, and the food is amazing. We had tempura soft shell crab (TO DIE FOR!), butter and bread, the beet/peach/ricotta salad, lamb shoulder, and dark chocolate mouse as well as apricot napolean. Everything was epic aside from the salad which was pretty awful, the peaches were mealy and not sweet, and the entire dish was unsalted which was sort of strange but honestly I think just a kitchen mistake. Not even worth detracting a star though because everything else was INSANE! so good!

Really enjoyed our meal here. Great service and ambiance. The duck confit special is also available to get as a main for $40. The skin was perfectly crispy and the sauce was rich and sweet, pairing well with the sun chokes. Farro risotto was filling but the mushroom and cheese were more interesting than typical risotto dishes. We were able to sample a couple of the wines before selecting a carafe. Chocolate mousse dessert was a light finish.
We dined at Routier on July 19 and had a lovely time. Food is fantastic. It’s lighter than traditional French cuisine, though equally satisfying. Flavors were fresh and spot on. Service is warm and accommodating. The vibe is lively and a perfect way to kickoff our weekend.

Elegant, a certain upscale eating experience with a local relaxed vibe and some of the nicest folks serving fantastic food; the food is worth mentioning twice. The chef totally nails both presentation for the eyes and flavor for the palette. We love to frequent the restaurant while visiting our daughter and we’ve made it our go-to location to celebrate some of our family’s most precious memories there with her and our son-in-law. As a tip, we recommend asking the server to request some ‘surprise’ dishes from the chef with any description of preferred proteins and flavors. Pleasant surprises follow.. highly recommend ..

The food is absolutely delicious. The chef has worked at so many renowned restaurants and has brought the culmination of skills here. The food is comforting and elevated all at once. Every dish is so flavorful and delightful.
The service is top notch! From the second you walk in the door, you're greeted warmly by Cindy who remembers your name. The servers are kind and so helpful.
The atmosphere is a perfect mix of fancy and homey. It is not pretentious or cold, but comforting, clean, and cozy!

There aren’t enough reviews that I could write in my lifetime that would adequately capture the goodness of Routier. The food is transportive - both comforting and celebratory. The atmosphere is welcoming, and bright. The staff is friendly and warm and helpful. Everything about Routier is on purpose. This is where you want to do birthdays, New Years and first dates (and every date after). Routier is one of a kind.
