Best French Restaurants in Arboretum

Beautiful ambience, great service. Nice pacing of the courses. Food for our eight year old! Amazing appetizers. Love the fois gras, tomato and onion tart. Everything was delicious. Sat at the kitchen and were so entertained.

We had a party of seven adults, and the service was outstanding - friendly, attentive, patient, perfect timing. The halibut special was popular with our group and even the meatloaf was outstanding, as were desserts! Noise level seems better in the past, it wasn't a problem to hear our conversations from one end of the table to the other. Great night.

One of our very favorites. Tuesday is prime rib special day and it was perfect. Give The Local Room a try.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at La Belle Helene was truly exceptional—easily one of the best French dining experiences I’ve ever had. I came here to celebrate my birthday, and we ran into a little hiccup with our reservation being booked for two instead of four. Despite it being an incredibly busy evening, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They welcomed us warmly, asked us to wait briefly at the bar, and then found us a perfect spot to enjoy an amazing meal. The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding! Everything on the menu is a win, but I highly recommend asking for the dessert of the day—it’s the perfect way to end a meal. Thank you to the team at La Belle Helene for making my birthday so memorable. Five stars all around, especially for the incredible service! I can’t wait to come back!

We got in and were seated immediately. After taking a look over the menu, it was hard to decide since everything sounded so good. We ended up getting the jimmy chopped salad, smoked octopus, rigatoni, cavatelli nero, pumpkin pie, and chocolate gateaux. The best was the octopus, salad, and chocolate gateaux. The pasta’s were perfectly al dente and seasoned well!
