We were the only two people in the restaurant and it took almost 30 minutes for each drink and another 45 for appetizers. A lot of potential, but terrible service. No wonder we were the only two people in the restaurant.

So this is my first time dining at Colette and may I say it was delightful. Everything from service to food and ambiance, it had it all. I'll consider it an upscale restaurant so don't be surprised with the prices. I came on a valentines date here with my gf and we shared everything we ordered to try as much as we could. To start we got the Ahi ceviche which was a 9/10 in my books.. just needed salsa Valentina to be perfect. We also ordered the bomb roll which wasn't bad but not my favorite, very much tasted like a ham and cheese sandwich lol. We also got their well known Lust Tacos which met the standards and were very tasty. Their drinks were good as well and in all I would definitely recommend this place.
Server failed to disclose that we would get charged $5 for each water. Did not show me my check until asked and just gave me a few seconds to browse it. When I got the text message with the final check, I realized that I had paid for something we did not order.

Amazing food and exceptional service. The terrace was pleasant, quiet, and with a view to the river. Great variety of drinks and having the Paramour bar is awesome. Highly recommend this French-Latin-Japenese fusion restaurant! Recommend the Aji Mango Ceviche, Beef Tacos, and especially the sushi Arepa! The whole experience was amazing, from the moment you step in, to the time you finish your dessert. We will be coming back for sure. Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised and will return!

Waited almost an hour for 1 of 4 dishes my husband and I ordered, not even our drinks were received during the wait, waitress also did not check in on us or updated us on the delay, we ended up cancelling the other orders. The ambiance of the restaurant was good, hopefully they improve on the wait time in the future.

So, there was an event - seems like a company Xmas party , happening there while we dine. I think that may have affected our service. Upon being seated and greeted by our waitress, the service pretty much went down hill from there. It took about 15mins to get our orders placed and then another hour before we got appetizers. We also didn't get all the appetizers we ordered. We wouldn't have gotten our drinks if I didn't approach our server and ask about them. We ended canceling our entries and remaining appetizers as the service was just too slow! And there weren't many people dining that night. However the appetizer that eventually came , tasted pretty good but the drinks were subpar.
I was so excited to try this place. The views are gorgeous and the place is very cute. Some of the food items were delicious (Kobe beef on crispy rice and the fries, the salmon crudo) but some of our items were very average (the asparagus and cauliflower) the tacos were RIDICULOUSLY over salted. We could barely eat them. The Ramen literally tasted like Fideo, not ramen, and 2 of the 3 orders we placed were COLD. Two of the people in our group had to literally ask to have their soup heated up. The cost was far too much for the missteps that were made with the food. Our check was over 1k and I would certainly except top notch food and service at that price point. The real kicker is that this restaurant also does not provide free drinking water!!!! How INSANE and frankly offensive. I thought it was legally required to provide free water at restaurants, particularly those serving alcohol. So absurd and stingy. We had the choice ONLY of purchasing bottled Fiji water bottles or sparkling water. So if you plan to dine here, bring your water-filled yeti!

I will start off by saying I was here for an event so I don't know if all of the food items and drinks that I consumed are on the permanent menu. I did love the atmosphere of this bar/lounge and I appreciate the rooftop lounge. This space is large with different areas to hang out in. The food was good. We had a ribeye topped with edible gold, truffle steak fries and of course drinks. The ladies that were serving were very attentive and even gave me a complimentary glass of wine! This is a good place to go when you want to be downtown but not in the thick of the hustle and bustle of if you have a group of people in town and you want to take them somewhere nice, classy, and chill. I will definitely be back.

The staff were exceptional (experts, friendly, helpful and professional - a great combination of the right stuff). The bar staff took great pride in crafting tasty mixed drinks. The food prepared was perfectly cooked and seasoned (well done Chef), delicious, however, several food choices on the menu were not available and were the preferred by the group. Additionally, the on-line menu was not the same as what was available in-house, so that caused confusion. Lastly, it took four trips to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine, the first bottle was bad and the following 2 selections (although on the menu) were not available. Overall the stars are a reflection of lack of food and wine options - everything else was 5 star.

Great, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. We sat inside since it was raining outside, but I think it worked out really great for us! Ceviche was definitely the highlight of our dinner and had a fresh flavor. All of the food was very unique
Fabulous dinner experience. The servers were so kind and helpful explaining and recommending dishes and drinks. The rooftop atmosphere is lovely and inviting. Highly recommend the sushi, absolutely amazing. The dumplings also delicious with a chef made sauce. A memorable meal and evening!

This restaurant is so bad I want to give it a zero but, that’s not possible so I give it a one. Everything on the menu is expensive and mid quality. The portions are for a child, but if by chance you need a to go box, they’ll claim they don’t have any unless you’re a white person.Besides their service and attitudes, the kitchen was incredibly slow. I got the order of the fried Mexican red rice over an hour after I placed the order. Mind you, there were plenty of empty tables and no one was coming to the restaurant (rightfully so)Please pick anything other than this restaurant to dine at and spend your money.

Our Experience at Colette at the Phipps was just wonderful. The ambiance is second to none. The host and our waiter were so kind and helpful. Our drinks were so delicious and refreshing. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. We started with AJI Mango Ceviche which was fresh and fantastic, we also ordered the carnitas dumplings as part of our appetizers and those were so delicious as well. For our main courses we both had the Tacos Lust which were cooked to perfection! We loved everything from our experience at Colette and absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice rooftop dinner with a palette looking for an explosion of flavors! We can't wait to be back!
