We were so disappointed in our meal at Le Petit! Everything was so bad, that we didn't know where to start to complain. It smelled bad when we arrived (mold, dirty socks, etc.) and we were told it was because one of the owners had been cleaning (it was not a cleaning product smell). Cheese puffs had yellow cheddar in... More

At some point in 2011 the owner admitted to (and was bragging on Facebook) charging two moms extra for dessert and drinks. The owner complained the mothers had children that were loud and overstayed their welcome. I will not support a local restaurant that has a owner that brags to overcharging moms. That is shameful and I hope you one... More

I used to go to the lunch buffet every weed during grad school. This restaurant is rough around the edges but the food is good enough to make Gordon Ramsey raise an eyebrow. The owners are the genuine article-French transplants. They treat you like family and serve you with big smiles. Do go!

Funky French restaurant with tasty country French food. Loved the tarragon chicken and enjoyed the leek asparagus soup. Charming waiter and even the cook came out to make sure we had everything we wanted. Good date night restaurant.

Unique menu every day of small, home cooked French cuisine. Obviously run by a retired couple who are sweet and excited as can be to come and chat with you about what you've chosen. A very fun foodie experience.

I recently visited Le Petit for dinner and though it retains a certain charm, I am no longer quite so enthusiastic about going there. This visit I noticed the place is looking a little worn with tired art posters on the walls, sort of falling away at the corners, and the messy whiteboard menu which is difficult to read. The...

We read about this place on trip advisor and we were not disappointed! It was great! It is definitely low key. The garage door was open with a screen in place. The menu was recited to us. We started with the pate which was to die for! I could have ended my meal right then and been happy. For our... More

Who would know that a repurposed garage would make a fabulous French restaurant. Trip Advisor users, that's who! Just slightly off the beaten path, this was as much like an adventure as a fine dinner. Thanks to Trip Advisor, we understood the set up. We selected salmon in a raspberry vinegar sauce. My daughter - a pescitarian - loved this... More

Sunday brunch wonderful. As long as you are up for this style of dining (4 course meal, house specials, you don't order), you will be in for a treat. We'd go back every week if they had extended lunch hours. :)
