Comments on Jessica P.'s review of Le Colonial
Le Colonial
Yum! This restaurant was well worth the chunk of change it costs. All of the food was superb, from the appetizers of scallop pot stickers to the stuffed tofu and sturgeon lettuce wraps...I was in colonial Vietnamese heaven. Definitely more rich and french-influenced than traditional Vietnamese fare, but the flavors were great and very true to the best parts of Vietnamese cuisine- cilantro, ginger and chilies!
The only downfall was the mixed drinks, which were weak and much less flavorful than their descriptions would have you believe- we had the Zen Iced Tea and the Mango Mai Tai and were not impressed with either.
The drinks were, to their credit, very nice to look at. Ambiance and presentation were wonderful here. This place has the feel that you get from watching "South Pacific" and the palms out front, open patio and large ceiling fans gave the hidden building an air of colonial majesty that makes a two and a half hour dinner pass by like the breeze.
