This restaurant is one of my new favorites! I loved it there. The chicken vol-au-vent was to die for. Service was quick and efficient. Heather was fabulous, kind and fun loving. She deserves a raise! I have already recommended to friends!

I went to French Rotisserie Cafe with three friends and it was the first time for all of us. Overall, I very nice experience. The complimentary bread and pesto butter were excellent. Two of us got appetizers which were good, and two of us got the French onion soup which was not warm enough (a little disappointed since I love good French onion soup). The entrees were all tasty with good-sized portions. And we each had a cocktail. No desserts even though they sounded good. I would say pricing is a little high but comparable to most good restaurants in my area. I would recommend this place, and plan to go back again myself since there are a number of things on the menu I'd like to try.

My wife, daughter, and I had the pleasure of dining at French Rotisserie Cafe, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service that set the tone for the entire meal. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. The rotisserie chicken was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were equally delicious, complementing the main dishes beautifully. The atmosphere of the cafe was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family meal. We all left feeling full and happy, with plans to return soon. Highly recommend French Rotisserie Cafe for anyone looking for exceptional food and a welcoming dining experience.

Overall, it’s a really good experience. The food is well prepared. And the service is top notch. (One negative: The restaurant is loud) Also, two standouts: 1--- Fabienne, the owner/hostess is warm and wonderful. 2--- Cheryl, a server in the dining room … is just terrific.

The chicken approach was novel, but it was too dry. Everything else was superb.

This was one of the tastiest meals we have had a in long time--The chicken was moist and perfectly cooked, and the profiteroles were the best I've had. We're coming back next week. Jim and Nancy Linden

We love this restaurant, however, this visit was a mixed experience. Our waitress, Jenny, was excellent. However, one of the appetizers did not arrive with the others. When it did finally arrive, almost immediately so did the entrées. They were returned to the kitchen and remade. The Beef Bourguignon and salmon were excellent. Unfortunately, the duck confit was not good. Small and dry. The sweet potato purée was ice cold. The owner, Luis, came by the table after we had paid the check. We told him of our disappointing experience, and he was extremely apologetic, offering a complementary aperitif. His genuine concern was deeply appreciated. This is one of our favorite restaurants and we will definitely return.
