It was bittersweet celebrating the last night for this local gem. For years, Colette has been a go-to for simple but elegant meals and cocktails. Last night was no exception -- excellent from the first bite of beet salad and mussels to the final profiterole. You will be missed!

Was there with my partner on Colette's last night. Too bad. Another fine restaurant gone, but the vibe was amazing, the other diners, the staff, everyone happy and sad at the same time. Server--we had several--told us that location will reopen with different owner, theme, but much of the same staff.

Colette offers a delicious, fresh version of French cuisine. The ambience feels authentic, from the cotton napkins, fun wall murals and pretty bar you can sit at to dine. Last night we sat on the rear patio which was as enchanting as the interior. Come to Collette!

Amazing dinner. Food was fresh and delicious. Drinks were very good. Service was decent but not great. Wait staff lacked attention to detail. However, that would not deter me from returning since the food compensated for the service. Would absolutely recommend Colette for a dinner. Can't wait to try the brunch menu.

I adore the atmosphere at Colette! So elegant!The brunch was amazing from the Bellinis to the eggs benedict. Delicious. The service was friendly as well. The beignets were a perfect ending. We'll be back!

We ate outside on the back patio. Great ambiance and very quiet. The burrata salad was outstanding. My wife's Steak Frites was very "French" and done to perfection. I had Lemon Sole Meuniére with asparagus and crispy potatoes with truffle sale. It was delicious. The service was excellent throughout the meal. We have eaten at Colette a few times and always enjoyed the experience.

We've been to Colette 3 times now and have loved it each time. The food is always excellent. The servers and management always try to make sure you're having a great time. Lovely place.

Tasty, we had a dirty martini, red dress cocktails, lovely. The octopus appetizer was expensive but divine. Excellent tag pasta dish, and the duck. The furniture looks like it's worse for wear and needs a clean.

Actual atmosphere does not correspond w photos shown on open table app. Atmosphere for me, is as important as food. While the food and wine were very good - atmosphere was like a diner - hard surfaces on tables & floors, pink florescent sign glowing into dining room and too many lights - waaaayyy too bright for dinner!

Colette is a very pleasant dining experience. The tables are spaced so that it doesn't feel crowded. The wait staff was very attentive. The menu has varied choices for all palates. The escargot and duck Magret were delicious.

They ordered the wrong dishes and the food was super salty and my sole (I ordered the halibut) had bones in it. My friend ordered the sole and he received the chicken. We did not return as it took too long to receive the order. They offered us dessert but we wanted to leave.

The ambience would have been better if there were some dampers to help reduce the noise level. It was very difficult to have a conversation during the meal because it was so loud from all the other diners having to speak loud in order to hear themselves as well.

Owner changed. Quality of food decreased a lot. We booked outdoor patio but was not available due to being under staffed. Very noisy as well. 6$ for a freshly squeezed orange juice that was actually bottled juice. Very disappointed and will not return.
