Stunning setting. Warm welcome. Accommodated a change in tables. (Thank you!) Every plate we ordered was flawless! And the cocktails were sublime! Service was knowledgeable, unobtrusive and professional. Food was quick to come from kitchen.

Our experience as usual was superb. The servers are meticulous at details and masters, at comfortably serving their guest. The food is outstanding. The cocktails are top shelf. And the dessert whether food or beverage is just the right touch. We can't wait to return!
We had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. Although there was a minor hiccup with one of our orders, the attentive staff quickly rectified the situation without us needing to mention it. They even went above and beyond by offering complimentary dessert for the group. The wait staff provided excellent service, and Silvio, in particular, stood out as a consummate professional. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable experience!

It's an amazing restaurant, but they have the worst and rudest manager. He ruined the whole experience ?

The decor and facade are beautiful. The vibe is welcoming. Once you enter the door, the ambiance is classy yet not pretentious.I am just disappointed with the food. The menu is great but the food doesn't match the elegance of the restaurant. Drinks are also mediocre. I hope they can revisit their menu. The place is very upscale, it just need to elevate their food.

This establishment did a very poor job with food allergies. Would highly recommend avoiding if this matters to you. Not only were the waiter and the menu unclear about what the real food content was, but the story changed before and after ordering. This creates a huge trust issue with the food. When confronted, the manager was good at excuses and unable to utter a real apology. Very disappointing.

Monday is a great time for a quiet, informal dinner with my wife. Had the spicy tuna tartare, salad and the special, Le Colonial Snapper done to perfection. Paired with eggplant as a side was definitely a winner. Dessert was The Cherry mousse and crème brûlée which was a great way to end the evening. Service by Vette, our waiter, was so great.
We all had the Salmon dish accompanied with bok choy. The salmon was cooked medium to perfection for all three of us. Presentation was spectacular. What makes this outstanding is the sauce that accompanies the dish. It tasted like a coconut milk base with unique herbs and spices. Be sure to order Jasmine rice to take advantage of this masterpiece. Allow the rice to absorb and enjoy. The ceviche was good with a great presentation. Although a gourmet cracker or mini toasted piece of bread, would encourage us to order again. Another standout is the chocolate lava cake bathed in brandy. It's Flambéed at the table and paired with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. My only suggestion is to opt for an additional scoop. It perfectly complements the rich chocolate flavor, that melts in your mouth. This is the third time we've dined at Le Colonial. This combo of flavors was so intense that we've ordered it all three times. We look forward to experimenting upon our next outing!

Food is highly tasty ... great menu! The tables are a little close to each other however a wonderful atmosphere. Service was solid, an small improvement of attentiveness would be suggested.

I was expecting a lot more, frankly subpar food. Appetizer of crispy rolls was very good and dessert was interesting and tasty but the entree felt like I was dining more at a Chinese buffet rather than a finer establishment. Definitely lacked finesse and depth of flavors. Pretty heavy and one note. I would love to try again but skeptical. Beautiful ambiance.
The server was great but the assistant general manager was the rudest person I have ever encountered and ruined the whole experience. Condescending when we walked in and aggressively came to the table in the middle of the meal to tell us we are on a timer and talked over me and walked away when I was asking him what he meant. Negative attitude as we left too. The table next to us told me that he was horrible to them when they walked in too. I don't think I'll be coming back and will not recommend this place to friends or colleagues.

As usual we had a wonderful meal. We were there during the tornado warning and the manager was keeping us all informed of the track of the funnel cloud an let us know he would lead us all to the basement if needed. There was no panic and everyone was served a great meal.
Love the bouillabaisse paired with a dry
