    The food at Chapeau is outstanding and the people are lovely there, but the noise level upon entry and throughout the meal was deafening. We would still highly recommend this restaurant but with a caveat for those who prefer a quieter and more intimate dining experience.

    As always, Ellen was was gracious and welcoming and Philippe was charming, helpful and extremely talented in managing his kitchen ! The service provided by Pascal was attentive and personal. Having lived in Belgium for 9 years, with frequent visits to France, I have never tasted escargots that compare to Philippe's !
