We loved our dinner. We were at 6 and chose seating in rear glass enclosed room. It was quieter than main restaurant. All the food was delicious and so were special cocktails. Smoked bourbon was a fun presentation. I loved the Blackberry Mojito. We were a group of 6 seated at rectangle table.

This is a not French restaurant. It’s has more of an Italian flare. The food was not good. Ordered the Orecchiette - greasy pasta, overcooked bacon. Best part was the French fries…pomme frites. Not even French onion soup! When I asked about the soup of the day I was told French onion soup was “seasonal” around the holidays?! Soup of the day was minestrone. Waitresses were very sweet. Will not be going back. For outstanding French food La Sen Bistro on N Main is the place!

Great food and atmosphere. Service was great too except they didn’t ask if we wanted more sparkling water, just opened a new bottle when ours was still a quarter full and then charged us.

La Fontaine is superb. Our dinners tonight were exceptional (medjool dates, stuffed with marscapone and wrapped with bacon, pistachio crusted baked coat cheese, caesar salad, duck, orichette pasta, and turkey cordon bleu, followed by a divine chocolate mousse cake). The service is always outstanding. We highly recommend La Fontaine.

Staff was very nice but need training on how to serve courses in order instead of bringing to the table all at once.

The food was as always excellent. The attentiveness of the staff was good outside of some curious lapses in time when our waitress just seemed to disappear somewhere.
