We went on Tuesday for all you can eat mussels. Great atmosphere. White tablecloths, proper place setting, empty dishes were cleared from table promptly. Mussels were great quality, portion, price. We would have the dish again even if not all you can eat. Their house made french fries were also excellent. The house greens salad- very good, a little pricey. We both had cocktails, they were excellent. I had wine with dinner. Le Jade Chardonnay was okay, not great at $14/glass. The downside- service was okay, not great. When my fiance called to make reservations, she felt the gentleman was a little rude or grumpy on the phone. Like he couldn't be bothered for just two of us. At the restaurant, he did not appear to be pleasant or greet guests. EXCEPT when he served a table of high rollers that spoke French sitting near us. Service was slow. Although we were in no rush, we were there 2 and 1/2 hours. The musles were took 30 minutes after we ate our salad. And then, I ordered a second glass of wine before we ordered more mussels. I never got the glass of wine until we were finished and asking for our check. I didn't want to be a jerk and reject the glass of wine, so I paid for it. Overall, we would eat there again. Just enjoy the food and atmosphere.

I was there for happy hour appetizers and all you can eat mussels. It did not disappoint. I enjoyed it very much. Service was a very slow. My waitress was not attentive at all. Street parking is not free until after 7 on Tuesday nights.

Truly the best experience that my partner and I have had in the Lexington culinary scene.
We made reservations, but were seated immediately by the owner, who asked which seat we would like, inside or outside.
We started off with the spicy tomato mussels and shared a French onion soup, both of which were the best we’ve ever had. The tomato sauce with the mussels was so good that we dipped our bread in it.
We both had the duck confit for our entree, our first time trying duck. Needless to say, it was seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly.
We had the dessert du jour at the end, along with espresso martinis and espresso. Both of which were of the best quality.
Overall, this a restaurant that you want to spend time at; you want to enjoy your appetizers and soups. You want to enjoy your cocktails and dessert. The lovely waitstaff will accommodate the meal service to your speed, making this restaurant the ultimate relaxing and satisfying experience.

Taking too long to serve. Had a course but took 30min between each meal (total of 2hrs just for 3 meals). Not coming back unless service is improved.

A perfect restaurant and the owner Marc is the cherry on top. If you're from out of town, make this a definite stop for dinner.

Our server was so nice, fun and acknowledgable. We got the bouillabaisse and seafood risotto. They both were so good and flavorful. This was our second time there and we'll be back. I marked it down one star as the shrimp was overcooked.

Excellent dinner at Le Deauville, best French restaurant & bistro. Marc & his team welcome us very well, especially Karrah who did a wonderful job advising us on the menu & drinks. We felt just like in Paris 🇫🇷. We had the onion soup, the fish of the day (delicious swordfish) and the bœuf bourguignon. For dessert, the profiteroles were lovely.
This place is amazing. I felt like I was back in Paris. The food is outstanding, and the service very attentive. Camille, who is the owner‘s daughter, is one of the service staff. She is just lovely, and made me feel right at home as a single person dining alone. If you want the fondant au chocolat, the dark chocolate pudding cake, place the order when you place your meal because they bake it fresh which takes 40 minutes.

A friend & I had a girls' night for Valentine's Day & my birthday! Our first time here so we shared an appetizer and each got an entree, desserts & coffee. Everything was wonderful! The atmosphere was so cozy. Our waitress, Stacy, was very fun! I loved her vibe! We were able to relax and enjoy trying new things & our girl time together!

The food is good and properly cooked. No complaints but nothing special. The atmosphere and service however is where this place shines. We had a blast. It’s a mix of locals and tourists. It feels chaotic at first but it’s more like a well choreographed dance. Would definitely recommend for the experience.

We went for all you can eat mussels and were quickly seated only to find out the kitchen was backed up. Drinks took an hour to get (food longer); one of our tables entree was brought out 30 min after the tables were served; toast was served instead of baguettes as they ran out. The staff was very nice however I would not go back. I can’t say if this was the regular Tuesday night experience or just ours but we were only able to get in 2 rounds of mussels in 3 hours before closing so I would hardly say all you can eat
