Our server was not very present. Sat for a while with steaks in front of us but without knives. Took a long time for drinks to come. Wanted to ask menu questions but she wasn’t visible. But the Xmas decorations were fantastic! Really enjoyed the festive ambiance. One of the better decorated restaurants for Xmas I’ve seen!

A yummy dining experience! The food offers a perfect blend of flavors that truly satisfies. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal with friends. The music adds to the overall vibe, with an uplifting tempo that enhance the atmosphere without being overwhelming. The sweet potato cornbread wasn’t a hit, and should be taken off the menu (in my opinion).

Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
