An exquisite dining experience. Delicious food, professional wait staff, one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.

Such high expectations....so disappointing. The portions are NOT French portions (not particularly good either) expecting a palate pleasing experience ...you will be sorely disappointed. Listening to the surrounding tables it seemed to be more of a status symbol to say you ate at "le petit cafe" in my world I wanted to tell everyone about the most amazing meal. Unfortunately that was not to be.

The owner is a complete j**** We've wanted to try this restaurant for a long time but now I never will set foot in the place. I made dinner reservations several days ago. I presume it was the owner that answered the phone. He spoke at 100 miles per hour and was, very bluntly stated, rude. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the reservation only a few hours prior to the time. I called the restaurant and the same person answered. Again, it had to be the owner. I told him that I had to cancel my reservation for that night. He IMMEDIATELY barked (and I mean BARKED) at me that I was supposed to cancel the reservation a day In advance. I apologized and I tried to tell him that my wife was sick from her radiation treatment she received that day for breast cancer but no sooner had I gotten the words "my wife is sick" out of my mouth then he BARKED BACK "that's too bad and he abruptly hung up on me". I guess I'll never try this restaurant after all. Be forewarned --- the owner is a total j**** He will never get a dollar from me.

Chef Roy is so incredibly kind and talented. My family moved away from CT years ago, but we still always talk about how much we missing coming here! The service, food, and atmosphere are incomparable. You will never ever regret dining at Le Petit.

Duck confit was incredible, pork chop was delicious, and one of the best creme brulees I've ever had.Also they were great in accommodating a gluten allergy, would definitely recommend trying here!

Prix fix menu. All the courses were amazing, simply and beautifully balanced. Service was a little uneven, seems like the servers were all shy students. Atmosphere was a bit like eating inside a jumble shop.

We had a wonderful, delicious dinner last night. Service was outstanding and very accommodating and professional. And the food; oh my. I had Chilean Sea bass and my husband had New York strip. All impeccably cooked and presented. The appetizers were very delicious and the crème brûlée’s was awesome. Had to take bass and crème brûlée home and they were equally great today. Check it out if you haven’t already!

The most welcoming French restaurant I have ever been to!! Chef Roy Ip is an incredibly talented chef, mastering many types of cuisines with delicious results. Offering a 4 course prix fixe menu, our group of three chose different combinations so we could taste everything. The steak au poivre was tender, juicy and well seasoned. My lamb was cooked to perfection and my daughter 's Chilean sea bass was excellent. From apps to dessert, we enjoyed absolutely everything. Portions are generous , service was attentive and kind, Chef Ip and his restaurant are gems. We will be back often.

Alway's great food and the preparation is spot on. Thank you Chef Roy and your staff for what is and has alway's been a world class dining experience. French Bistro at it's best.

The food and the service was amazing. Be prepared to have a 4 course meal with no rush. Just like in France you are able to disconnect from the world and socialize between each meal. It's as if everyone in the restaurant is experiencing each meal at the same time. I have no complaints in regards to the food and service. The place itself needs a little bit of an update on the look because it did feel very outdated with the decor but other than that it was a great experience
