    Went to Chouette for my husband's birthday and it was superb. The atmosphere and the decor felt like we were back in Paris. Their service and food were impeccable. The deviled eggs and apple tarte tatin are a MUST. We will be dining at Chouette again. BRAVO!

    The experience was disappointing, and I doubt I will return. The atmosphere was loud, making it hard to have a conversationonversation. While the appetizer and dessert were the highlights, the main course was just okay, and the escargot was completely bland. Overall, it wasn’t worth the visit.

    We’ve dined at Chouette many times and last evening was a disappointment. Coq au vin was dry and tasteless. However, the duck was delicious. Our server did not bother having a manager talk with us. His demeanor changed after I shared my thoughts regarding the chicken. It will be a long time before we go back.

    What an astonishingly wonderful meal. Every single aspect of the meal was amazing. Appetizer, main, drinks, service -- all spectacular. Chouette has vaulted to the top of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. I cannot wait to return to try more from the menu.
