Chouette offers a charming French ambiance and "wonderful service," with dishes like French onion soup and foie gras receiving high praise. Diners love the "exquisite" food and "attentive" staff.

    In a city whose restaurant scene is improving by leaps and bounds, Chouette is, in my opinion, one of Columbus' 4 best restaurants (with Basi Italia, The Top, and Hank's Sea Food being the others). Chouette's food is simply outstanding, with their lobster pasta and mussels-and-frites topping the entree list. The ambience is just what you'd expect from a French bistro and the staff is uniformly welcoming and professional. Special shout-out to Sally, one of the best servers anywhere. Columbus has long needed a quality French restaurant ---and Chouette fills the bill many times over.

    Lorenzo was an awesome server. The food was not the best I’ve had, yet, coupled with the ambiance, the experience was nice overall.

    Always on point with service and food. My only negative ever visit, it gets so hot sitting upstairs. Desperate need of air circulation! Otherwise, I love Chouette!

    Crowded, felt shoved into our table and eating on top of the people next to us. Other than that, great food. Great setting. Great service. Great drinks.

    The best French onion soup made from veal broth. Perfection for a cold evening meal!
