    This was not a good night for Le Colonial. We go at least 4-6x per year, and we've never had service like this. We were 30 min standing in the bar waiting for our 6:30 reservation for 4 people. (No seats left in the bar.). That has never happened to us before. Two of our entrees were missing ingredients (The sea bass didn't have the usual glass noodles, but, we didn't say anything because we had ordered rice for the table.)

    I’ve been going here on and off for 30 years. I never liked the new location compared to to the old one, but the food and service remain outstanding. Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef) was absolutely outstanding—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. But honestly, everything we ordered was exceptional. The ceviche was fresh and bright, the monkfish starter was packed with flavor, and the salads were crisp with an amazing selection of ingredients and dressings. The signature cocktails were crafted to perfection, balancing bold and delicate flavors beautifully. Kudos to the chef, servers, manager, cooks, and even the incredible bussers (hope that’s still the right term!). The entire team executed everything flawlessly, making for a truly memorable dining experience. Le Colonial exceeded expectations in every way. Can’t wait to come back!

    Great service I’ve dined in many places, but the way this team—Mexicans with a true passion for their craft—described each dish changed everything. Their recommendations weren’t just suggestions; they were an invitation to experience flavor in a whole new way. And they were right. Every bite was unforgettable.
