    Always a pleasure to dine here. We shared small plates and each dish was tasty and presented beautifully. Lychee martini is wonderful. chocolate cake flambé and pineapple coconut cakes were fitting ends to a wonderful evening.

    Food and drinks were so good and our server Yvonne took really good care of us. A couple things that prevented it from being a perfect night. First was took 25+ min to get our table. And then table was right next to the bathrooms. So a lot of foot traffic right by our table, so that was not fun. Speaking of ambience. We were upstairs and it’s very lively and loud. There is a DJ and the bar we enjoyed it but may not be for everyone.

    Fine dining pricing should yield a fine dining experience. NOT the case here. Noise, crowding, and lighting more appropriate for a club. Hit or miss on food. 3 bottles on wine "list." Waited 30 minutes for waters to be refilled.

    Hello Susan, We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations.

    Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

    I feel the quality has declined at Le Colonial. I have been a customer for several years. Some dishes on the menu are still good, but the crispy noodles I ordered were very bland. The staff seemed distracted and not very attentive even though it was early and not too busy yet. I probably won't go back.

We will take your comments into consideration as we continually strive to improve. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance to impress you in the future. The Management Team
