Classic French menu of steaks, seafood and homemade desserts served in an antique-filled, castle-like dining room and bar.

Le Petit Chateau Restaurant

Exquisite French Cuisine in NoHo
by FrnchMo
This place had the all around package: from a beautiful chateau ambience to delicious food to nice service waiters. What more could you ask for. Yes, this place may be a bit pricey, but it's definitely a place for nice occasions and you're sure to enjoy yourself. The food is exquisite. I had the half duck and I couldn't decide whether to choose the cherry or orange glaze, so the waitress gave me a full dose of both. The sauces are so rich and tasty. My partner ordered a delicious filet minon wrapped in a pastry.....mmmhmmm...so rich. The best part for me were the complimentary liver pate on their lightly buttered and toasted french bread. Truly to die for.
Very happy with the service and I'd definitely go back.
- Pros: Authentic French cuisine, ambience
- Cons: a bit pricey
HORRIFIC SERVICE
by millertv
Worst service I have ever experienced. First, we called ahead to ask questions about a gift certificate. We were told to call back to talk to a manager. We did and they assured us there would be no problem with our certificates. Of course right away there was a problem, made worse by the owners insistence that no body would ever tell us that on the phone. So basically he's calling me a liar within 5 minutes of walking into the place. Nice. Then we say down and it took them 15-20 minutes before we even got menus. Did I mention this place was DEAD for a saturday night? The waitress never filled our glasses of water once, thankfully we flagged down another waitress who helped us out. It took a half hour for 3 medium wellington's and one beef medallion to be served. And they forgot the sauce for the wellington, the waitress brought it out after 2 of us were already done eating and didn't really care at all. We ended up not using our gift certificates so we didn't have to tip 18%, instead we left $6 for a check of $182. Hope they get the message. Save your money for a place that deserves it. Worst service ever, felt like we were at a Chili's or something.
- Pros: food tasted decent if you don't mind waiting and if you dont mind having terrible service
- Cons: service, service, service
Are people who eat here without tastebuds?
by 1cinda1
I can't believe that the reviews here are "real". You can't call this expensive place
"great french food" - it doesn't even qualify for "great" in the same sentence as "food".
Great ripoff, great location, great if you know nothing about french food, but no, not great food.
Expensive, outdated (which we don't care if the food would be good)
- Pros: great location, its been there awhile so you think it MUST be good? right?
- Cons: very expensive for not good food
Stunning Food and Service
by rba
You know things are a bit different when, on the way in, the doors are all labeled in French. Inside, you pass the bar and are seated in a room filled with charming ambience. The lighting, appropriately subdued. The service, impeccable. We ordered from the Tuesday special, printed separately from the menu and only +/- $27 for soup/salad, main course, and dessert, augmented by a menu item or two.
The food was perfect. Having dined at many French places, Le Petit Chateau elevates the cuisine over most of the competition, quite a surprise for the valley. We had a good French onion soup, a well made mixed green salad, stuffed chicken medallions, and I had a pasta dish (think pasta primavera elevated to genuine cuisine) accented by prosciutto. Fantastic.
Treated to an overall elegant presentation, when it came to the dessert, it was characteristically, and as expected, artful, with a twist (my memory banks could not register a match for the interesting bread pudding over creme fraiche I had) which spoke to in-house preparation which often is sorely lacking in restaurants of this caliber. Commercial pastry shops often insult a good menu. Not at Le Petit.
In closing, go someday and you may find me there. It is a menu worth the exploration!
- Pros: Lighting, Service, Ambience, Food
- Cons: not free
