La Folie is located in a downtown luxury apartment building. It has a nice patio when the weather is nice. We had the French Onion soup for our starter, which was superb – very delicious. A warm mini baguette and butter was provided and was wonderful. I had the Veal Oscar and my husband had a special – a bone-in veal chop in a mushroom reduction. The veal Oscar was good but béarnaise sauce was under salted IMHO. The asparagus and mashed potatoes were excellent. My husband’s dish was truly amazing. Veal was tender and mushroom reduction was to die for. This was an expensive meal so I was disappointed with my dish. But everything else was wonderful. Service was excellent. Presentation was beautiful. I will definitely be back but select something different for my entree.

Would not recommend.
Food was awful. The only thing I could suggest is the bourbon list.
Let’s get this off the Waiter John was Fantastic loved his jokes and was very kind!
Odd menu for a French Restaurant
The food needs a dire face-lift to be French cuisine.
Beef carpaccio was not good very acidic.
The Branzino was Very fishy and Dry.
The fries where the only saving grace of the whole Meal!
Steak and Fries (special) cooked unevenly and the beef sauce on the steak was Not needed, it Ruined the Crisp of the Steak.
The patissier area needs work the French sabayon was not good its just soupy creme Brule with berries…

The food was decent, but underwhelming considering the prices. The service was SEVERELY lacking. The waiter had literally already boxed my leftovers when the last of our party’s main entree came out. He had a poor attitude and was expressively upset that we asked to have separate checks, even though we informed him when we were seated that checks would be separate. He said “this is very inconvenient and time consuming” as he was taking payment at the end of the meal. I ordered a bottle of wine and 4 of my friends ordered a glass each of the same wine. The waiter poured their glasses from my bottle! I thought he misunderstood and thought I had ordered a glass as well, and expected I would be charged by the glass – nope! I was charged for the full bottle. I’m kind of astounded by the entire experience. I can say with confidence that I will not dine there again.

My wife and I with another couple went there for a Sunday brunch on March 5th 2023. We got there as soon they open so they were not busy at all.
Friends and I order omelets, total 3. I was expecting a French omelette but what we received was pathetic. They all were tough, dry and brunt. See the picture. I wonder if they were frozen and they just nuked them. I have gotten much much better omelets at IHOP. This was a breakfast prepared by a short order cook and not a chef. IHOP cooks are better.
My wife ordered eggs Benedict that was just ok, eggs were cooked right and sauce was good.
Not only omelets were bad, potatoes were the frozen stuff and fried, that came from institutional package. Toasts were cold and terrible. I had to ask for butter and marmalade. I doubt that our server knew what marmalade is. She brought me little packages of grape and strawberry jelly thy weren’t as good as Chick-fil-A either. Cheap brand. Butter was small pats in aluminum wrapping, like Waffle House. I had expected real home made jam and quality butter from a French restaurant.
Ambiance was nice and server was very polite and nice. “Upscale” prices doesn’t make a restaurant upscale. I have eaten many French restaurants around the country. None was ever this bad.
It would have been a nice touch if our server could have understood simple French words as hello and thank you.
I am not going there for dinner, heaven knows what that be like. I was told that they getting a French chef.
This was such a disappointment.
I would lone to talk to the owners.
