We sat at the bar to start, as we were early for our reservation. The bar staff was absolutely amazing, and the cocktails were very top notch! When we were seated the same level of service carried through and the food was certainly on point. They had live piano players the entire time, and it set the mood. This was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it!

LeRelais is absolutely delightful. We recently returned from France where my girlfriend had roasted duck for dinner in a small village we stayed at. She said it was perfect & will most likely not be able to find such a perfectly cooked dish here in the states. Last night at LeRelais she did. I’m more vegetarian so I had the vegetarian linguini. It was perfectly seasoned. Noise level is high & activity of the staff is busy but the service is very good.
