I have dined at Le Colonial more than 20 times, and the quality of the food has been consistently outstanding. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are delicious. The service is impeccable—it is always a pleasure to be warmly greeted by Clark, the exceptional host, and served by Edwin, who is incredibly professional and friendly. The cocktails are fantastic, and while the wine list is not extensive, it is thoughtfully curated. Overall, Le Colonial never fails to provide an excellent experience.

Took our friends to dinner to celebrate their recent wedding and our wedding anniversary. Had the chef’s tasting with wine pairings. Everything was exceptional. The food was excellent and the wine pairings were perfect. The service was fantastic as well. Overall, a wonderful experience. We will definitely return. Unlike some of the Michelin starred restaurants we have visited in Europe, this is a more relaxed experience which we appreciated.
