I thought I loved Starr's Pastis the most, but Le Diplomate is another level of rustic French dining. We had the lobster risotto, and I think it was the nightly special, along with the farmer's cheeses that had honeycomb and hazelnut and ended with the vanilla bean creme brulee and millefeuille

One of the best places in town for breakfast, brunch or dinner. All are good. Prompt service, good food and drinks. My only complaint is about the chairs, not very comfortable to sit on them during a long dinner.

The food was good but it wasn’t Michelin quality or anything. Because this place is so popular and famous, the service quality suffered a little. The atmosphere is louder than ideal for a date or an in-depth conversation, but if you’re just going for a drink it’s perfect.

Service and food were “meh” at best. I’ve been eyeing this place for months because it was all over social media and it truly was such a disappointment. It is so overhyped. Will not be coming back

Have been before and the food is fantastic, but had a very frustrating experience trying to coordinate a dinner for a larger group. The restaurant outsources to a 3rd party and requires a price fixe. When inquiring with the restaurant about possible other options, they were fully unhelpful.

No notes. Great vibe in the heated outdoor space. House wine was delicious and so was the burger. Recommend profiteroles for dessert
The food here is clearly crafted with precision and attention to detail. Although I only ordered four items from the brunch menu, it’s evident that whatever you choose to order will be expertly prepared and taste absolutely exquisite.

Great food. Great service. Good vibe. No wonder this restaurant is so popular among the locals. Highly recommended!
Awful business, with horrid ethics.
