Reviews
Once seated in the main dining room, we opted for the prix-fixe menu, which is truly the best way to experience L’Auberge. The evening began with the bread service and amuse-bouche, followed by my appetizer choice: La Cassolette de Joues de Boeuf, beautifully braised beef cheeks in a sherry wine sauce, rich and comforting. For the salad course, I chose the duck special of the day, which was elegant and well-balanced. A house-made sorbet followed as a palate cleanser before the main course.
For my entrée, I selected the Les Escalopes de Veau — veal scaloppini with Virginia ham, jumbo lump crabmeat, wild mushrooms, crème sauce, and spaetzels — an outstanding dish that perfectly reflects the restaurant’s classic French technique. Dessert was a raspberry soufflé, light and flavorful, followed by chocolate truffles to finish the meal. Wine pairings throughout the evening were equally impressive, rounding out an already memorable experience.
The service deserves special recognition, particularly Brian, who took exceptional care of our table from start to finish. His attention to detail, timing, and professionalism elevated the entire evening. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated for the holidays, adding a warm and festive touch to an already elegant setting.
L’Auberge Chez François continues to stand the test of time for a reason — exceptional food, impeccable service, and a complete dining experience that makes the drive more than worthwhile.
The amuse bouche was a lentil mushroom soup which was enjoyable.
The wagyu beef cheeks are a reason to live.
The garlic bread is a reason to live
The lobster bisque is like homestyle as was the bouillabaisse. The tarte au chocolate was excellent but not my favorite.
Excellent for a day trip and a date you want to impress and a good value for the pre-fixe.
I will try to be better w pics!x
It turned out to be perfect for our intimate wedding of 45 guests. We held both the ceremony and luncheon reception in the courtyard under the beautiful tent, which provided the perfect cozy atmosphere for our fall celebration. The Chez François team helped us plan every step and took care of every detail with care and professionalism. Their service was top-notch—someone was always there when we needed anything.
The food and drinks were in a class of their own. Our guests raved about the canapés and thoroughly enjoyed every course. To top it off, the chef even made a special appearance! Our wedding was a wonderful success, thanks to the incredible team at Chez François.
The bread is served warm with a cottage cheese spread accompanying the butter. All was delicious.
Next we enjoyed the last tomatoes from the garden as a hot soup. Wonderful.
The garden salad was extraordinary.
We choose seafood entrees and were amazed with the flavors and presentation.
Ending with the chocolate souffle felt indulgent.
The service from start to finish was marvelous. We felt like honored guests.
We sat in the back room near the fireplace. The only reason for 4 stars for atmosphere was the large party with young children who would occasionally slip away from their parents and run around the dining room.
We had the escargot, beef cheeks, rack of lamb, beef, veal and lamb chop with lobster tail—and finished it off with the chocolate soufflé (which was so good we forgot to take a photo before digging in!).
Thanks so much for the complimentary dessert for my husband’s birthday—really appreciated the extra touch!
