Party of 6- we were celebrating our daughter’s engagement. Everything was outstanding. Service from being greeted by the host to the final payment and everything in between. It was all of our 1st time dining there & will not he our last. Thank you for the great dining experience.

Questo ristorante ha molto poco di francese . I piatti sono molto lontani dalla cucina francese

Looking for a nice experience? This was one! The staff work hard, but keep smiling. The bread was amazing. It was baked fresh on site. I had a martini which was good . The onion soup was very good also. The ratatouille was cooked to perfection but could’ve been better with a little more flavor. My husband’s salmon was well cooked and flavorful. My friends in our party gave me a taste of their Chicken and also the shrimp. Both were well cooked but could be a bit more flavorful. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family.

Service was excellent, really cute out door patio area. Food was really tasty and arrived pretty quickly and ewe had a great time.

Great restaurant, always have a great time coming here the staff is friendly and the food is great and is a great value for the quality and portions you're getting. They also have the BEST charcuterie board in town. If you're reading the reviews that means your considering it, don't play yourself and just go here.

Nice patio but ask to sit towards the back. Otherwise lots of noise from the bar next door. Good and service both great. Will go back!

Great food, service and ambiance! Perfect place for brunch!

We were especially pleased to be able to access the restaurant by the outside ramp...two of our three diners use walkers...It was a birthday celebration and our waiter couldn't have been more helpful in creating the right atmosphere...I have been coming to The French Gourmet for over 25 years plus had them cater four home parties...They are great !!!!

My hubs and MIL joined me for a b-day dinner here, great drinks, apps and dinner. I ate the ascargot, bourbon seared scallops & risotto "special" and then they threw in a b-day treat which was a slice of cake and macarons. All of the food was spectacular we will go back for sure.

Back before Covid and the menu changes we used to eat at the French gourmet all the time. Literally once a week. After the menu (management?) change our favorites were gone and we stopped going. Recently we tried again, with mixed results. The food was very good (lamb chops yum, and our server was attentive and tried hard. But it was soooo slow. If you’re hungry and want to eat soon, don’t come here. If you’re fine with hanging out for an hour while waiting for your food, this place is for you.
