French Restaurants near Carversville, PA

“We had a group of six for dinner on a on Saturday night. We had entrees ranging from fish to meat and all were delicious, The space is cozy and sparkly with, just the right amount of volume from a pianist, playing a variety of tunes. The service was prompt and professional but also warm and welcoming. Don’t miss this gem.“

“I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of this place, but I can tell you it's pretty good regardless. I came here with two of my OG chums this past Saturday for an early dinner (a little before 5 I think), on a deceptively nippy night. We made a very last-minute reservation (as in we were down the street walking over when we did it) but were easily able to secure seating. The restaurant was pretty bustling throughout our meal so if you have the ability to make a reservation more than two minutes beforehand, I would do it. This is a popular one right now.

I've driven by this building countless times but I think this is the first time I've been inside it (it's relatively new so it's possible I was in whatever business was here before years ago). It has a pleasant interior; kind of rustic but also some obvious homages to France on the walls, etc. - what else would you expect in a town literally called Frenchtown?

We split the brie en croute app, which I liked a lot. My only quibble is that I would have made the berry coulis denser to compete with the brie a bit better, but overall it was a refreshing way to start the meal. I didn't build up quite the appetite I was hoping for from metal detecting in the afternoon (which is one of the many negative consequences of a drought), so I went a little lighter than usual on the entree with the almond-crusted cod. It was tasty but presentation-wise? Eh. It's not really a fish you can "crust," if that makes sense, so the optics are a bit chaotic. It's more like a pile on your plate, which you can see in the attached photo. I did like the fact that the lemon sauce was on the subtle side - the citrus family is not one of my faves and it's often an accompaniment with seafood dishes, so I was pleased it wasn't the dominant flavor. Super flaky and loved the texture of the rice.

The service was excellent. Not only did we not have to wait particularly long for our items to arrive, but our waiter was very friendly and nice. I was accidentally under-dressed for the weather so I ordered a hot chamomile tea (very rare for me), and one of my chums also asked the waiter to pick a tea for her. I have a chum who used to work in the service industry who told me to never order hot tea from a restaurant because it's incredibly annoying for them to prep, but my argument would be that if it's on the menu, all bets are off. Regardless, I think in this day and age it's relatively easy to make - we watched the guy literally just use a hot water dispenser and put the tea bag in. Was definitely the right choice on this particular evening. Anyway. He was also knowledgeable about the menu and had specific opinions about certain dishes; one of my friends ordered the salmon entree and he immediately commented that it was his favorite.

We're always interested as born and bred creatures of the Kingdom of Hunterdon what the overall clientele in a restaurant looks like. In a tourist trap like Frenchtown, it's not unusual to go into an eatery that's full of out-of-towners squealing about the Delaware River or something. This was a very nice mix of both tourists and locals, which can definitely be a difficult balancing act. Given the bougie options on the menu, I thought this was priced competitively to allow for some of the nearby residents who might not be sporting boat shoes and polo shirts to wander in to sample the wares as well.

Wasn't blown away but overall this was very solid.“

“My girlfriend and I shared a wonderful meal at Slate Bleu. We weren't starving so we split an appetizer dinner kind of tomato tartlet which was very tasty, and a big bowl of pasta. The service was excellent, the decor and feel of the atmosphere was polished, and the food was great. We had a great time and will eat there again soon .“

“We had an exceptionally wonderful dinner at Sisao last evening! Chef Brian out did himself once again!! We started with scallop gnocchi and octopus Provencal as appetizers. Both were to die for, melt in your mouth delicious. The scallop gnocchi were light as a feather, served in a wonderful light cream sauce with thinly sliced wild mushrooms. The braised octopus Provencal was fork tender in a light, perfectly seasoned tomato sauce with onion, garlic, capers, black olives and Israeli couscous. Focaccia bread came in handy to make sure the sauces were completely wiped off of our plates. We both had sea bass as entrees. Chef Brian has such a special touch with seafood. His sauces are flavorful and delicate. I love the buttered croutons served on the fish! Entrees were served with risotto (al dente perfection) and wonderful roasted vegetables. Pot de creme, and banana foster for dessert...so delicious! Patricia, our server was amazing! Welcoming, attentive, and so friendly! The dining room is beautifully appointed. Put Sisao on your must go restaurant list!!!“
