Imagine this. You are a restaurant owner chef. You have a following, you win national and local awards. Then one Mother's Day, some yahoo walks into your restaurant and orders cerviche with scallops and then complains that the scallops are "raw!" Then they ask for ketchup to put on the Chilean sea bass. You get the picture? The next morning... More

I adore this restaurant, the food is magnificent, the service is extremely friendly and they have a really nice wine list. You should visit Le Petit Cafe, there is no other restaurant in the area where you will get that quality of food and be treated as good.

The last time we had dinner at Le Petit Cafe (10-15 years ago), it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. And so when we had an opportunity recently to revisit, we were looking forward to a repeat performance. Although menu selections have changed since that time, we were still eager to experience a great culinary... More

I have been going to Le Petit Cafe with friends for some time now. It is fantastic and just keeps getting better. Chef Roy personally greets and talks to all the guests - and that's the thing: you feel like his guest, not a customer. He's genuinely happy to see everyone who walks through the door and is one of... More

We were there with four people and everyone had something differant and we were all very pleased. Our waitress knew everything about the selections and was very helpful to one of our friends with her... More

we arrived with family of four to celebrate Mothers' day. We had to wait for half an hour before our order was taking in. Next, we waited another hour before our salad and appetizers arrived. The scallops were raw and were not eatable, I've asked waitress to change the plate for something else, but she refused. Everything you should served... More

A quaint resteraunt with perfect food. Our waiter was so sweet and helpful. Chef Roy took our oats and greeted us. From the appetizers to the desert, our food was delish and inspiring. I have to say it was the best creme Brulee I have ever had. We said goodnight to the chef and told him we would see him... More

Been coming here for years; the food, service and value have been consistently outstanding for almost a decade. While everything on the menu is excellent, it would be wonderful if there were more seasonal variation with the prefix menu. Recommend duck confit appetizer and Chilean sea bass entrée.
