    This was the first time I've tried this restaurant. I took a colleague for a business meal. It was a Monday so it wasn't busy. The waiter was terrific. He clearly saw us involved in conversation and didn't bother us every 10 min to see if we wanted to order. I ordered the special spare rib risotto and it was superb. It was a very generous portion size and I'm still dreaming about it. My colleague got the meatball dish and he said it was great. I'm so glad I tried this new spot and plan to be back.

    We had a team dinner (11 attendees), and they were great at getting all our dishes to the table simultaneously. The team raved that the food was flavourful and the wine (French, a red and white) was paired perfectly with the dishes everyone ordered. We were not rushed to leave as we wrapped up our dinner, and they left for a bit to enjoy our conversations and relax after dinner. It was an excellent experience for our team, and we will go back in the future.

    We went here for my husband’s birthday with our two little kids and the staff were very accommodating. We had never been here before and it looked intimidating when we arrived for the first time but the experience was great. They served us quickly, once we ordered. Clean bathrooms and a changing table. We had an awesome espresso martini and loved the crab cakes. The littles loved the pomodoro pasta. It was a great place for an early dinner.

    Love La Fontaine. It’s my neighborhood goto restaurant when I want an upscale experience and food without a high price. This visit was with my extended family. We were seated in the window where ch they know I prefer. We had a variety of cocktails to start with. Mine was Black Shadow which is refreshing for a whiskey drink. Next was bruschetta, two orders because you get 4 in each order. The bruschetta is a nice, light appetizer. Yummy but doesn’t fill me up. La Fontaine salad is my go to but sometimes I get the strawberry spinach salad. After that was my favorite, cavatelli pasta with meatballs. The rest of us got branzino, ravioli, orecchiette pasta, steak frites. My husband went vegetarian and had capellini pomodoro and a side of vegetables. We went for dessert and coffee and had a mago cake and lava cake. Such a lovely evening with perfectly paced food, great service from Dee Dee and fab food.
