Roasted boar with plum sauce, sauteed carrots and broccoli. I would have loved a little more plum sauce. It was so good. And of course to begin: escargot and French onion soup. Oh, and a very fair priced Cotes de Rhone wine. All things French on our 46th anniversary. I should have taken pictures, sorry. We were looking for something French and cuisine we don't prepare at home. BLC did not disappoint. The restaurant has been in business for over 30 years. My only suggestion is to update the interior just a little bit. Keep the Italian feel, maybe darken the ceiling tiles. Don't go contemporary. Just a suggestion. . My wife had the chicken and potatoes in a broth. The 2 bites she allowed me, were succulent, wonderfully flavorful, and definitely something unique to our culinary experiences.We'll be back.Kid-friendliness: I would say noisy kids might degrade the adult atmosphere.

Not my favorite French place in Houston. Was a little uncomfortable. Liver and onions was good

We usually order duck l'orange, escargot, onion soup, and special of the day. Good food, very attentive staff, and cozy atmosphere.

Very pleasant atmosphere and attentive service - without overdoing it. Food was what I like about French cooking - good flavors in simple dishes. Prices were very reasonable. A good experience.

Fabulous evening for Valentine's Day. Set menu was varied and what we ordered was artistically presented and delicious. The wine they recommended was excellent and affordable. The room was clean and beautifully decorated. Very nice!

We were the first to arrive and had reservations but the waiter was inattentive and rude to my mother the entire time we were there. People arrived after us and were attended to first and more often. We were sat next to a very very large noisy party. We could have been seated at a better location. My daughter was celebrating her birthday but they seem to forget that. This was her choice for her special day. The food was good except I ordered the fish special and it tasted bland like it just came out of the freezer. Did not taste fresh at all. The filet mignon and pork chop however were cooked and seasoned well. Our family has dined here for many years but I'm sad to say it was disappointing this time around.

Ideal place for special occasion lunch. We both ordered the winter 3-course meals and everything was delicious. We plan to treat ourselves with a lunch at Bistro Le Cep more often!

Making reservations was easy, parking was no problem and first impressions of the restaurant were good. The menu was fine, however, we would have like to have been alerted to the fact it was an 'amended' menu being offered on Valentine's day. Most of what we would have ordered was part of the available fare, however, these kinds of menus are being offered as something different than stated on the website, we would like to have known that. Our waiter was great. Not overly attentive and yet, got the job done.

Quaint atmosphere, absolutely excellent customer service. I had the 3 course winter lunch menu, choosing escargot, chicken piccata, and crème brûlée. The escargot was rich and tasty, the chicken piccata was the best I’ve had (that sauce!), and the crème brûlée was somehow light while being delicious. 10/10 Will definitely be returning.

The restaurant is rustic if they would dim the lights a little and add candles to the tables it would have a lot more of a French ambiance. The food was great! Love the pate as an amuse bouche. We started with escargots and French onion soup. The escargots were wonderful. Just the right amount of garlic butter and herbs. The French onion soup had the smell of soy sauce which was strange, but I'm impartial since I compare everything to the French onion soup we have in Paris every year. For dinner I had coq au vin and my husband had steak entrocote. The sauce in the coq au vin was delicious! I loved everything about the dish. My husband's steak was also cooked perfectly and tasty. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was moist and delicious. We've eaten at a lot of French restaurants in town and this one had the best food for the right price. We will definitely be coming back for another meal.

I really enjoy dining here. I’ve been coming here with my family since my childhood. Friendly service, very delicious traditional French food, and such a relaxing and calm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place for fine dining.
