    Another great time at La Piquet from the moment we walked in until we left for home. So consistent and always super, starting with cocktails and bread. Rockfish was done perfectly as was Steak Frites, perfectly cooked rate and the fries always perfect. As always, thanks for the hospitality!

    Food quality and service very good, as usual, but the pounded veal lacked much flavor. We miss the offerings of skate and the veal chop. Kitchen was very slow on main courses this evening.

    Love this place - perfect bistro fare. The house red wine is better than many "select" wines I've had at other restaurants. They do everything with care here though the atmo is nicely casual.

    We have been coming to La Piquette for many years. We often bring friends and family and they become instant fans. Have never been disappointed. Not pretentious. Just great, simple, Authentic French food created by Francis.
