    Love La Serre! Valet guys are great. Hosts are welcoming. Excellent food and service every time. whether in dining room or at the bar. George at the bar is awesome. Craft cocktails are pretty and tasty. I appreciate the complimentary hot bread that you often can’t get anymore. The tuna Crudo is the best I’ve ever had in my life. Highly recommend! I would love to eat that every day and I would love to know the sauce that it is swimming in because it is absolutely incredible!!! The escargot is good, nice garlicky sauce and I appreciate they give you bread for dipping. Love the apple kale salad with feta cheese. Generous portion, tastes Perfect! I’ve enjoyed many entrées at previous visits which were all fantastic, as well. The pasta with lemony clam sauce is delicious. (Wanna try the bacon pasta next time). Can’t go wrong with pretty much anything there. Re desserts: LOVE the bruleed French toast.and the bread pudding - both with gelato. A cappuccino to end the night. ALL fantastic! ! Only thing I’d change: for tables of 2, one has to look at the booth wall. Maybe consider repositioning tables (and yes I know many Restos have same problem) or angle mirror above booth side so regardless of seat, all diners can see the beautiful lively room.

    The atmosphere, food and service were excellent! Ask to be seated in the section with server, Julien, who is extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable and resourceful! Both the Caesar salad and kale salads were wonderful, the steak frites was grilled (rare) to perfection and the roasted half chicken was so juicy! We stayed late and the vibe got even more lively! I highly recommend Bar La Rue for a great night out!
