A true culinary experience! It is certainly a creative eye catching and palate pleasing dinners we have had in some time. Strongly recommend!!!!

I have been to Bas Rouge many times for both lunch and dinner and the food is always excellent. This time however while food was still up to standards the service was extremely rushed. They rushed us through cocktails and dinner. Really not what I would expect for a restaurant of this caliber. Plus they sat a large table,8, of women in the main dining room, rather than a more private space. Again, not in accord this type of fine dining.

What a lovely experience! This is truly a fine dining establishment, a rarity on the Shore. Everything was impeccable—service, atmosphere, food. Staff is knowledgeable, welcoming and they anticipate your needs. Food is beautiful and delicious. Portions are a bit small for the price, but the quality and creativity are worth it. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Will definitely go back!

Great dining experience with top notch service and food. The chef is excellent, well deserving of the recent James Beard award!

I had the white truffle pasta entree tonight. Out of this world. Here it is being shaved and explained by Chef Harley Peet.

Elegant and very professional service. The food was top notch, but do allow yourself enough time to enjoy it. The "experience" does take a bit more time than your average sit-down restaurant.

Spectacular all around. The service, the food, the attention to every detail, the linens, etc. It was one of the best dining experiences that we had in a while.

We had a spectacular evening! Being a local, the chef created some of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The wait staff were amazing as well and extremely attentive. I was lucky enough to take a friend who maybe more someday for a romantic dinner, she was also quite impressed. My pup Chanel is not a Red Stocking, she’s a Corgi but enjoyed the doggie bag immensely. 😊
Well, sometimes things *do* live up to all the hype. Sure, it’s an extreme splurge and we may never be able to do it again, but this place was superb, across the board.
Laura got the wine pairing and intensely enjoyed every selection they gave her. I ‘traded in’ my wine pairing money for an extra course, and the veal cappelletti I chose may have been the star of the entire (star-studded) evening. They were three jet-black (something to do with charcoal dust!) pasta crown-like deals that absolutely blew us both away.
The amuse-bouche was a butternut squash soup that definitely amused both of our bouches. Laura’s pork chop was perfect and yet a supporting actor on the plate named Polenta Dauphine still kinda stole that show. My rack of lamb was the stuff of idealized Easter nostalgia but was something that Grandma never could have made, bless her heart.
Even the bread service was fantastic. They had five very different options, all in enticing ‘try me’ bite-sized portions and, unlike in some super high-end places, the out-of-sight but somehow still constantly attentive servers kept coming back to offer more without a trace of haute cuisine judgement.
We selected the two “plated” desserts and positively gloated at our wisdom. I chose a chocolate cherry mousse thing that comes in the form of a make-believe giant chocolate cherry and looked magazine-cover good, and improbably tasted even better than it looked, and it looked like its appearance was the only goal!
Laura got a panna cotta thing with a local fresh peaches-three-ways twist. She made sounds while enjoying it that I hadn’t heard since before the kids were born.
It’s hard to believe since the prices really were high (for us) but we think it was worth every hard-earned penny. It was a truly great experience and a great memory.
Thank you, fancy French sheepdog people!

One of the best gourmet French restaurant in the East coast, with unique dishes, excellent service in a fancy environment and a dining style to perfection, that deserve a Michelin star

1st time eating at this amazing establishment. Everything was perfect. Traveled a lot of places and this was the best dining experience we have encountered. Highly recommend anyone who has an opportunity to dine here to do so.

Extremely elegant and a bit of a surprise find in a small town. Strongly, strongly recommend making reservations if you're on the eastern shore or Delmarva. Service very attentive without being suffocating. Excellent timing of service throughout. Started out with the most spectacular shrimp amuse bouche we have ever had. 3 courses that followed flowed well together. This chef is well deserving of the James beard they won this year. Michelin star next??? We will be definitely back next year when we visit st Michael's next year.
