    This was the first time we’ve had brunch at Le Relais and it didn’t disappoint. Just like their dinner service, I was thrilled to see several gluten-free options on the menu. I enjoyed bottomless decaf coffee and eggs Benedict with salmon over a GF English muffin. My husband steak and eggs (filet, green beans and potatoes). The house made goat cheese vanilla ice cream was out of this world delicious. We consistently experience great service and food at Le Relais. Highly recommend brunch and dinner. Pro tip: make a reservation.

    I loved the whole dining experience. The wonderful, friendly and attentive service with delicious food and cocktails make me always return. (The French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had and I have to get it every time I dine at Le Relsis.) It’s a lovely and warm space with a great atmosphere. It’s perfection and is consistently so! So happy to have it in our city and neighborhood.

    Our first time back in a while, and we had a wonderful time and meal. We met the new owner (Amy), enjoyed the professional and friendly service, and were delighted with our salads (Lyonnais & Caesar) and our entrees (Mussels & Steak Frites). We were happy for Amy to see a full restaurant on a Thursday night ... and we shall return.

    Everything was great, from the food, the atmosphere and the service. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The food was quite seriously some of the best food we have ever had. Perfection from the start. We celebrated our anniversary here and cannot wait to come back!

    So happy Le Relais is now open every Sunday for brunch. The special brunch menu offers both long standing entree options such as trout, along with new breakfast choices. But still with the same superb attention to detail that has characterized dinner at La Relais for decades. We had a lovely time and will be back again soon.
