    This is one of our go to restaurants because time after time everything is perfect. From Amy greeting us a the door to the service to not being rushed out the door. And the food - it is outstanding. Flavored and cooked to perfection. It is a place you can go for a date or just after a workday. Dressy or casual. You need reservations as it books up.

    Amy runs a great show at LR! Food was excellent, service great too. Very busy night so just a little loud, especially from a few over indulgent folks having way too much fun!

    Amazing service and food! My husband and I both have extreme food allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our meals were safe and delicious. They were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, making us feel completely at ease. Highly recommend for anyone, whether you have dietary restrictions or not!

    The perfect nice dinner, food is amazing and well priced, the wine list is nice and not too overwhelming, the atmosphere makes you feel like you are in a French bistro. Lovely spot and I need to head back soon for lunch or brunch too!

    Our most recent dinner at Le Relais on a snowy evening was an outstanding experience in every regard — charming atmosphere, attentive service from our waiter, Teddy, and great food. Be sure to order their signature Grand Marnier soufflé. It is memorable!
