Best French Restaurants in Stanton

So sorry they are closing. Vincent and Zach always make it an exceptional experience. I hope they will re-open at a new location. The demand is there and it has always been an oasis of calm and sophistication in South Coast Plaza.

Phenomenal restaurant for a special occasion. Their cocktails are handcrafted, seasonal and on the strongside. For the first round we opted for their Mai tai made with aged rum. It’s $45 but pretty amazing! The lobster bisque is truly the best soup I’ve ever had. For the main entree the wife and I shared their Chateaubrand (20 oz. Filet Mignon, cut and served table side) and it was also the best filet I’ve ever had. We finished off our meal with an old fashioned and a large vanilla soufflés with grand marnier. Our soufflé was slightly over cooked however I won’t hold it against them as I’ve had it before here and it was perfect (accidents happen). Last but not least our server Jocelyn provided excellent service and we appreciated her attentiveness and suggestions. If you have a special day coming up or just a fan of the finer things in life, I highly suggest visiting the cellar!

If you’re a fan of LOTR or The Hobbit, don’t expect rounds doors, Longbottom leaf or a bottle of 1296 Old Winyards. What you can expect is one of the most spectacular dining experiences around. My wife and I dine out rather often, maybe too often, and we don’t do fast food or chain restaurants. So we’ve had some pretty memorable dining experiences, but The Hobbit has arisen from their quiet fields to shake the towers and counsels of the Great. We’ll certainly be back. P.S. Frodo lives!

Wonderful food and service. So cute inside. Such a gem!

Despite a very busy boat parade night, this restaurant delivered on all counts. Outdoor patio was warm and provided great ambience. So many great and healthy choices on the menu, all offered at reasonable prices, particularly for Newport waterfront.
