    My wife and I had a wonderful date night dining experience at Colette. The bartenders were friendly and got us taken care of while the table was being flipped over. We had a fantastic server, who walked us through the menu. The staff was always prompt in re-filling water/drinks. The food that we ordered was exquisite. Black Truffle on everything! Can’t wait to go back!

    The atmosphere was lovely but the noise level was too high. We asked for a quiet table and was graciously given one. My husband still struggled with the noise level and the pounding music. Otherwise great evening. The food was good but expensive for what you got.

    Food was delicious. We had the beet salad (outstanding) and the ravioli and lamb pasta dish. Both were excellent. Presentation was different. However, the menu is just not one I’d say “hey I can’t wait to go back and try XYZ…”. It was delicious but not pulling me back. Service was pleasant but a little over attentive. Love the chef, Danny Combs and wish him all of the success in the world! Definitely try Colette - you won’t be disappointed!

    Waited on our 7 pm reservation for about 30 minutes in a cramped area between the door and bar. Food was good, but not amazing, and pretty pricey. Probably wouldn’t go back as there are far more superior restaurants in our area.

    An excellent meal! The noise level was very high in the main room making conversation challenging for our group. It may have been ok at a table for two, but we were leaning onto the table to hear each other.
