Modern French brasserie with creative twists, polished ambiance, and strong owner engagement; excellent food when on form, but service consistency and pricing draw mixed reactions.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Colette delivers competitive modern French dining with strong food quality highlighted by memorable octopus, beef fillet, and bouillabaisse, supported by elegant interior design and appealing neighborhood setting. However, inconsistent execution—oversalting, temperature issues, and pacing gaps—prevents the restaurant from reaching grade A territory, while split service feedback adds uncertainty. Worth a special trip for French cuisine enthusiasts, though premium pricing demands reliable execution on every visit.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and elegant rather than formal, with thoughtful details and a buzz that builds as the night goes on. One diner summed it up: "We felt welcomed and well cared for all evening." However, there are some review authenticity concerns - some review patterns are consistent with solicited or influenced feedback. The cooking leans modern French with creative reinterpretations of classics. Expect octopus with béarnaise and pear, a Caesar-inspired cod, and a rich beef fillet alongside seasonal set menus. Flavors skew bold and occasionally salty; when execution lands, plates are polished and memorable, though a few diners report lukewarm mains or long gaps between courses. Families should note this is not geared to kids: the menu is refined with limited child-friendly options. Adventurous teens might enjoy steak or tartare, but picky eaters could struggle. Consider earlier reservations and confirm simpler dishes if dining with younger guests.
