Per usual it was superb. The hors d'oeuvres and the entree's were delicious. I am always incredibly satisfied with my meals at Le Colonial. It remains in my top 10 restaurants in the US!

We celebrated a birthday with a late Lunch so restaurant was quiet but we were treated with so much kindness and attention. Great recommendations and help with suggestions on what to order and how much. We will definitely return!

Food and atmosphere where outstanding. We did feel rushed through our meal. The minute we sat down they wanted us to order everything at once. Tried getting us to order more cocktails and drinks. Server was fair. Food was delicious.
