Best French Restaurants in West End

Christmas Eve was extremely busy. There were more children than a usual night, making it more noisy than anticipated. I reserved a table. But there were none available when I arrived for my reservation. I was offered to sit at the bar because they didn't know when a table would be available. I understand that it was a bust night, everyone and everything was great, except I was just put to the side as a single person at the bar. I was there for 2 hours due to the fact that the staff was more worried about the larger tables. That was my only complaint. It was my birthday, so I was a little letdown. Otherwise it was a fantastic restaurant. The food was the best French food I've had since I was in France.

Alberto’s is one of our neighborhood restaurants and is dependably good. The food is always good and the desserts are outstanding and alone worth the trip.

Love this restaurant! The food is always good and the service is excellent!

Good food and a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.

Greeted at the door by the chef, my wife and I were whisked away (cooking pun there…) to the back room of the restaurant. There we were seated and greeted by an attractive server and had our special menu explained to us. We had the choice of escargots, a brief interlude of boeuf bourguignon, and I had the steak frites while my wife enjoyed the confit of duck. We were finished off with a traditional cheese plate with a variety of cheeses from around Europe. All the food items were fabulous and the wine pairings were perfect! I will complain that the portions were oversized for me. We were nearly full from the escargots, and the boeuf was a full dinner portion in itself. The ribeye steak was as the chef explains it “what Americans expect”. I can’t fault him for giving his customers what they want, although I personally would prefer a more authentic experience with a smaller skirt or flank steak and about half the amount of fries. To summarize: go there. Eat. You will not regret a thing!
