    I love Valette. My spouse and I go there at least twice a month because the food is amazing and most of all the staff always goes over and above to make sure you are taken care of while dining. Last night, we went to celebrate Valette's 10th year anniversary and had the 6-course dinner and I must say I wasn't disappointed once with any of the courses.

    Party of 2. As required, paid upfront, including 20% service charge. Some dishes were very good (wagyu beef appetizer) some excellent (scallop, duck), others could have been better (crab in the sole was under-seasoned; serve more mature, more varied, and room temperature cheese in the surcharge cheese course). Portion sizes were small overall (and as good as the scallop was, it is on the menu as ‘scallops’, plural). Service inconsistent: half hour wait for reserved table; putting a splash of welcome wine at the table w/o checking preference (one of us is not a fan of Sauvignon Blanc); wine order at main course was forgotten - on reminder served ‘on the house’, but showed up on final check. Wine card offered good variety and good value. Meeting one of the owners just for a chat was very pleasant. We could grow fond of this restaurant if it would cure issues flagged - but they seem to have a forgiving clientele. We wish it well.

    Valette has always been one of our favorite dining spots, and their 10-year celebration menu did not disappoint. As usual, the staff was outstanding, with the service feeling both attentive and personal. A special shoutout to Adrian—our go-to bartender—who never fails to elevate the experience. We always request to sit at the bar just to be in his care, and he made sure everything was perfect as always. The four-course menu was a well-curated journey of flavors, celebrating a decade of excellence. Each dish showcased the restaurant’s signature balance of creativity and quality ingredients. From the first bite to the last, it was clear why Valette has remained a staple for so long. Overall, the night was a testament to why we keep coming back—exceptional food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. Cheers to another decade of Valette!

    Service was very good. There were good reasonable wine selections by the glass. Scallop appetizer and Brussel sprouts side were my favorite! My husband had the duck which was delicious.

    Caviar starter was delicious, also the seared foie Gras. The duck breast was delicious. The only disappointment was the white wines by the glass. Very limited and not very interesting. Overall I will go back.
