   We recently dined at Troquet for a special evening of milestone celebrations, and while I truly wanted to love the experience, it unfortunately fell short of expectations. To be fair, we were informed ahead of time that the restaurant would be hosting an event later that evening, so the slightly rushed pace of the meal wasn’t entirely unexpected. Still, it did make it hard to settle in and fully enjoy what was meant to be a relaxed, celebratory dinner. Several dishes missed the mark, especially given the price point. The wagyu steak, which we had high hopes for, lacked the tenderness and richness we anticipated, it came across as rather plain. The foie gras special also didn’t quite justify its cost, and the escargot had a flavor that felt off. On the other hand, the bone marrow appetizer was delicious and the standout of the evening. The salmon crudo and razor clam ceviche were okay but didn’t particularly impress, and while the duck and wagyu steak were fine, they weren’t especially memorable. The surprising star of the dinner was the roasted half chicken with crispy skin and moist meat that were perfectly executed. I also have to mention the bread roll served at the beginning of the meal as it was warm, soft, and absolutely delightful. I wish the rest of the courses had maintained that level of comfort and satisfaction. Ultimately, I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially given that we chose Troquet over three other options for such meaningful celebrations. That said, I recognize the unique circumstances of the evening, and I’m open to returning, perhaps to try their multi-course tasting menu at a more leisurely pace. For now, I would give Troquet a 3 out of 5 stars, with genuine hope that a future visit will offer the kind of experience I know they’re capable of delivering!

   Fabulous neighborhood gem. Incredible wine list. The food is delicious and you will not finder friendlier or more competent staff. It’s a must visit over and over.

   Fantastic Friday night dinner at Troquet on South. Truly one of the best fine dining restaurants in Boston as we enjoyed a terrific night. Chris, the owner, greeted us upon arrival and also suggested a great wine pairing when stopping by our table. The food was spectacular and the service provided by our server, Rick, was equally wonderful.

   Perfect evening meeting with an old friend in a relatively quiet atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. Expensive, but still a good value given the quality. And as a bonus, the waiter said that the kitchen accidentally shelled some additional oysters, so he brought a half dozen to us for no charge.

   We used to love Troquet on South but we were so disappointed with our recent visit. Service was slow (18 minutes to order a drink), food lacked seasoning and was cold, and the extra “sparkle” of the restaurant was missing. Sad.

    We experienced the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing as something special to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was excellent, the wines were well-paired, and the service was impeccable and friendly. A memorable experience!
