The tuna crudo, scallops, crab spaghetti and bread pudding are all amazing and are must order dishes. Great restaurant for celebrating with friends.

It was a fun place and a very good meal! The Clam/Pasta was done perfectly, it was delicious and the portion was appropriate. The Roasted Chicken was slightly overdone but it was still very good. It was not inexpensive but the place was attractive, lively and the service was excellent!

First vist there, but not the last. We ordered an unconventional meal - duck, green beans and fries - they don't go together, but they worked with our wine. The beans and the fries were ferfect. The cuk was Chinese-inspired. Ifi's a duck breast in hoisin sauce and it was very good, not perfect, but very good. We got profiterole for dessert - very, very good. The service was excellent, the noise level more than I like but it was tolerable. We will be back to try the more conventional idtems on the menu!

First visit to Las Serre for my wife and myself. We were celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary. Overall the experience was ok/average. We were seated along the long bench wall that seats couples or parties of two. The tables are very close to each other with one seated at a chair and one on a bench seat. It makes for awkward service as the waiters can't really get between the tables so if you're seated in the chair you look and communicate with the waiters over your shoulder. They should really space the tables slightly farther apart. The room is decorated with an abundance of silk flowers and assorted greenery. The food was ok. We had the kale/apple salad which was very good. For entrees we had the Dover Sole meunerie for two which was very good. We also had the scallops Hokkaido which seemed to have been cooked some time ago as they were lukewarm and the puree had developed a "skin". Fortunately when I told our waiter of my disappointment with the scallops he quickly took them off the bill. We also share the green beens which were fine. For desert we had a creme brulee. Since it was our anniversary the brought two scoops of sorbet with a sparkler. Service was adequate however it all felt a little rushed. Again with the cramped tables where we were seated I felt like I was always speaking to the waiter from over my shoulder. In summary La Serre average. Some of the preparations are French but besides the decorating I felt the food and service, while adequate , were not reminiscent of an above average French restaurant.

Nice wine selection with interesting food options. Would add more French-specific options, but everything was nicely prepared.

We chose this place to celebrate a special birthday! I've been there before so I knew the food is delicious and couldn't wait for my friends to try it. We sat down when our server Brendon came up to the table asking for our drink order (we barely sat down). He was back within 5 mins to see if we're ready to order!! The entire dinner we felt extremely rushed and could hardly enjoy ourselves! Even though the food and ambiance was great; Brandon really ruined the experience for us. I've also included on my reservation that we're celebrating a birthday and even though everyone around us was getting sparklers with their birthday desserts; we did not get one. I reminded Brendan that we are celebrating a birthday and he proceeded to bring us two scoops of sorbet with a sparkler and charge us for that dessert! The entire thing was extremely disappointing having just come back from New York and the south of France where going out to dinner was a completely different experience with very thoughtful service. I think Brendon is confusing La Serre for a fast food restaurant..

Delicious, refined, and authentically French. We started with a warm, crusty baguette and a deeply flavored onion soup, then shared a beautifully rendered duck confit—crisp skin, tender meat, balanced sauce. Portions are modest but rich, and the pacing of courses was perfect. The wine pairings were on point, and the crème brûlée had that ideal glass-thin crackle. Cozy ambience, low music, and gracious service. Prices match the quality. We’ll be back—and recommend reserving for dinner.

Fantastic French restaurant. From the warm baguette and classic French onion soup to perfectly crisp duck confit, every dish was spot-on. Thoughtful wine list, attentive service, and an excellent crème brûlée. Highly recommend—book ahead.

We had a very enjoyable evening. The decor was so beautiful, I couldn't stop taking photos! The restaurant was so clean. Our server, sorry I don't remember her name, was fantastic. She knew every item with hidden fish and gluten. We felt so comfortable ordering with our allergies. Our meals were so delicious. I ordered the gluten free spaghetti with crab (no fish allergy for me). The spaghetti was a bit undercooked but the favors were great! We would definately dine here again!

Terrible service. Didn't have a dedicated waiter. Instead it seemed as if people would come check on us every 20-30 minutes and they forgot to put our first drink order and our sides.

Michael

Great energy from the moment you get there. Attentive staff and super friendly. Everything from the appetizer to the French Toast dessert was delicious!

The food was cold. They charged us the “restaurant surcharge for rising costs” and for the birthday dessert that we didn't order. Those charges were removed, but the cold food was unacceptable. It wasn't even busy for the food to have been sitting there to get cold. The time before when I went to this restaurant, it was fantastic. Still a surcharge issue, however. Maybe it was a bad night. Probably won't go back.
