    The special menu item to celebrate the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau was a wonderful rendition of a classic French dish. The other regular menu items served at our table were also delicious The service was impeccable Miranda Madison's repertoire for the evening was perfect for the occasion - and beautifully sung. Overall a Very Fine outing indeed

    We love La Cuisine! It is a 45 minute drive from our Villages home and it’s a treat to experience a lovely two hour dinner here. Charles was the perfect server…helpful, witty, knowledgeable and of course the food was terrific!

    I was very pleased from the reception to seating ambiance and service. A breath of fresh air & the best wine list I’ve experienced in the area. I plan on being a regular!

    No one really liked the pork belly. Much too fatty. And one person said the English muffin with the eggs Benedict had a strange spinach watery taste.

    No one was in the dining room for over 40 min. They sat us in a dark room away from the main dining room again no one was here. I had reservations but if you’re from open table they won’t seat you in the regular dining room confirmed by the rude female manager. She sets her tables and open table is NOT a priority or even a normal reservation. We are below class to her. I asked to move but apparently as the guest she said it was my fault for not asking for main dining room. Again no one was there. Don’t go the female manager is disgraceful disrespectful and lazy. We were done in 45 min and at that point there was only 2 more tables. NEVER again will I go to an establishment that treats you like a underclass citizen and neither should you. Love yourself these people don’t.

    It was fantastic, food, service were great and the seating, even though it is a restaurant they don’t cram you in. You actually can have a conversation without someone right next to you from another table.

    Amazing food. Wonderful atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Our waiter Charles was very friendly. He offered us alternatives we hadn’t considered. We found a new favorite drink because of him. French martini! ❤️ if you are looking for something different put this restaurant on you’re bucket list you won’t regret it
