It had been 10 years since my last visit and I was looking forward to introducing my guests to Troquet. Sadly, the time has not been good for this spot. While the ambience and service are still high quality attributes, the food and pricing has become much worse. The fish was overcooked, the sauces were gloopey, and we had to send back the crème brûlée because it was (among hundreds consumed over the years) the worst attempt I had seen...including my own. This could be a great spot again but the kitchen team needs a serious upgrade. At over $100/head, the diners deserve better.

Interesting arrangement of lively front-of-house bar and quiet white-tablecloth dining room a bit further in. Each has its own menu although some items show up on both. We were seated in the peaceful dining room, a romantic room decorated with vintage French posters and fresh flowers on the tables. My husband and I chose the crispy potato pave' with truffle from the sides list to share as an appetizer; it was delicious. I had the Scottish salmon with flageolet beans and Brussels sprouts, which were all excellent. My husband had the roast duck breast and loved it. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Overall it was a lovely experience, with delicious food, close to South Station.

My favorite French American restaurant. The best glass of wine I've ever had. Great for date night. Quality food and attentive service. I love how they have fresh bread and a basket of butter.
Marcus
Troquet was once again outstanding. Chris and his team are always on their A game. The food is delicious and the wine list is by far the best in town. Have been going for years and will continue!!
Eric
Amazing staff that engaged at the right time. Menu was thoughtfully crafted and delivered creative dishes that felt both French and Boston at heart. Recommend for foodies!
Lorna
European atmosphere, creative dishes exquisitely prepared accompanied by an amazing wine list. Service is attentive , experienced and friendly. Troquet never disappoints, a favorite.
Kim
Another amazing meal at one of our favorite restaurants. Their tasting menu is excellent and kudos to the chef! Wonderful service to compliment the evening.

Beautiful spot. Had our anni dinner and we had an intimate corner spot. It was lovely and everything we ordered was 10/10 in every way (salmon and roast chicken entrees with Brussels sprouts and truffle potato pavé sides). Ordered espresso martini off the dessert menu as my main drink for the night and the Alaskan drink was also great/strong. Right next to Offsuit!

Had high hopes for this spot thay were unfortunately not met. We should've guessed considering the restaurant was empty on a friday evening. Decided on the tasting menu and right off the bat the waiter seemed annoyed. He took our menus and slammed them down near the order kiosk. The food came out at a good pace. The pasta and bread were the highlights of the meal but unfortunately the rest was not worth the price. Plate presentations and taste of the food was not very memorable. After an almost $400 meal for two, I wouldn't recommend. Maybe their main dish options are better.
My husband and I went for our anniversary dinner. We ordered the 10 plate tasting menu, and it was incredible. Every bit was delicious, and we left absolutely stuffed. As I'm writing this I want to go back for more. The seating was intimate, and our server was wonderful. We highly recommend, and we will be back!

I have been many times and have never been disappointed but we had a special event tonight and they went so far above and beyond. The service is perfection, the food is excellent and the experience is Devine. One of my top 3 in the north east. A+

This place was so good I called friends over in real time to drop their plans and join us for dinner. The bread rolls and chicken along with soufflé were exceptional. More yet, the WINE list was an enchanting experience and after swimming through the Rhône valley the owner himself had recommended some phenomenal, rare burgundies that our party of 5 indulged in. Will be back, hungry and thirsty for more!
