My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Chouette to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Galvin, was fantastic and the food was amazing as well!

Service was great. Location and ambiance was pretty good. We sat up stairs which was a little over crowded. The food was fine. Nothing was wrong with it but nothing stood out as unbelievable that I’d recommend as a must have. I’d go back but would hope for a better dish next time.

Great atmosphere and service. My father-in-law was in town and this was the perfect place to sit and enjoy a quiet lunch to catch up and relax. I'm looking forward to trying their dinner menu soon with my wife.

This place never disappoints! As an avid traveler and lover of all things French, this place delivers on experience, ambiance, and service. We started with the liver mousse and the foie gras and both were the best representation of the original French classics this side of the Atlantic, albeit better because we didn’t have to sit by someone who was smoking. Our entrees were perfectly executed (Coq au vin, Steak Frites, and Salad Lyonnaise) and the Bouche Noel was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Chef stopped by our table to make sure we were taken care of and Brad our server was adorably funny, attentive, and took care of everything. Merci beaucoup to the entire team! We will be back!

As a long time Columbus resident, I can tell you we've not had such a fine french restaurant since The Refectory's hayday. The food, service and atmosphere is a delight. I went for the first time on Sunday night with my husband and brought my mother back on Monday! Everything is perfection! I even got to meet chef Shawn Alpenn, who is new to Columbus from restaurants across the West Coast The chicken liver mousse and deviled eggs are a don't miss. My husband is a chef and we agree that they nail a perfect Salade Lyonnaise. (I got it on both trips.) Steak Frites hanger cut steak with creamy tarragon bernaise was melt in your mouth fabulous while my mom loved the burger, too. Watch out for sneaky expensive - but delicious - Sancerre wine by the glass...3 glasses were $85! But, the food is worth every cent :)
