We had a wonderful dinner last night. Everything was delicious. The pacing was perfect. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful, and not at all stuffy.

Almost everything is great. The only problem is that tables are too close together, making it difficult to have an actual conversation with the person at your own table. Easy to talk to the person at the table next to you, if that’s what you want.

I have been visiting Chez Francois for more than two decades and always found the food excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. Normally I frequent the main restaurant for lunch but this time decided to try an early dinner at the Brasserie. While I didn’t need a reservation that night normally I would. This time my reservation secured me the perfect table and the service and food were outstanding.

Loveliest solo dining experience on a weeknight. The food is always superb. But what stood out on this visit was the exceptional service. Sergio took my wine order, but offered a sample & suggestion of something he thought I may like even more. I loved the edit and was grateful for the insightful suggestion. When I ordered dessert & a coffee, he again thoughtfully asked if I'd like to delay delivery a bit, to enjoy a more leisurely pace. Solo dining often feels rushed (no conversational partner), so slowing things down for a more luxe experience was so appreciated. Brilliant service! The only qualm: it can get a bit loud when the restaurant is full. But even then, it feels festive and you know they're doing a roaring business because they're THAT good.
