    Beautiful restaurant with amazing food! We took advantage of the happy hour at the bar before moving to outdoor seating for dinner. The bar was beautiful and margaritas were delicious. The bartender showed us some cool bottles of tequila that they had. We ordered Carnitas, roast chicken, and carrots, and broccolini for dinner. The Carnitas were falling off the bone and were served with acute taco set up with the most light and airy blue corn tortillas. Everything was so delicious!

    Had an absolutely fantastic meal with some friends this evening at Petite Cerise! The $68 4-course prix fixe menu was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Our group of 4 had different items for most courses and were amazed by the flavors with the various sauces and accompaniments. Wines were fantastic (and reasonably priced - unusual these days) as well. Can’t wait to return!
