“Went for restaurant week, 30 dollars can’t be beat.”

Went for restaurant week, 30 dollars can’t be beat! Marco was an excellent server, thank you!! I ordered the French onion soup. - Crispy melted cheese on top, soft bread and onion at the bottom. I was honestly surprised of how good it was. I also ordered the Roasted Faroe Salmon. - Served over mashed potatoes and crispy croutons. Great overall!

“Another place I got to check off the list.”

Another place I got to check off the list. Found them searching for a spot that served the cheeseburger similar to Japan. The burger itself was amazing, great taste, the addition of the fondue cheese was everything I’ve anticipated . Also purchased their Caesar salad which was very flavorful. Overall good food and good drinks. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area.

“I went for brunch and really enjoyed it.”

I went for brunch and really enjoyed it. The French onion soup was the best I’ve had — seriously. The Royale Burger was good and very filling, but the French toast was the highlight. Super soft, moist, and just really well done. Service and atmosphere were great. Brandon W did an excellent job. I’d definitely go back.

“The entire experience was fantastic.”

The entire experience was fantastic. Great atmosphere! We visited during restaurant week and enjoyed their lunch meal. The food was excellent! Probably the best spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had. The front of house staff work together really well and make sure that no table was forgotten. Drinks were always full. Tables clean. Stellar service. The DJ was banging! We celebrated our anniversary and was provided the best bread pudding I've had in years. Again one of the best I've had if not the best. 100% would recommend and would visit again.

“I went to Bar La Rue a few weeks ago with my brother and his wife and honestly… everything was incredible.”

I went to Bar La Rue a few weeks ago with my brother and his wife and honestly… everything was incredible. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind — which makes such a difference. The food was unreal. The tuna tartare was so good — fresh, balanced, and perfectly executed. And the mussels were hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The sauce alone deserves its own moment — deeply flavorful, rich, and absolutely addictive. Cocktails were fantastic, and as someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I really appreciated how thoughtful and delicious the non-alcoholic cocktails were. They weren’t an afterthought at all — creative, balanced, and just as special as the rest of the menu. Beautiful space, amazing food, excellent drinks (NA included), and top-tier hospitality. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend.

So fun—great “French” vibe and food. Delicious smash burger, lobster roll, flat iron steak. FRITES. Must try: burger in fondue. Saw a few fun birthday sparklers.

“Nice atmosphere, great food and service.”

Nice atmosphere, great food and service. Our plan was to get the chicken sandwich and Royale burger, but we started off with the fondue, fries, and garlic aioli sauce, and we were so full afterwards, we ended up just getting the burger and splitting it. And we still ended up taking home a doggie bag!
