    Excellent service by Andre. Food was very good and good sized portions. Lobster ravioli was very tasty. Will go back to try other offerings in the menu.

    Chouchou is exceptionally good in every respect. Our only regret is that we don't dine there more often. If you enjoy French cuisine (or just outstanding food!!) and excellent service in a pleasant ambiance, then Chouchou is a "must" destination.

    My wife and I have eaten at this restaurant several times before and have always been very satisfied. This past Sunday night we brought a party of seven and the results were fair. 1) Service was slow. 2) Dishes came out separately. 3) The Prix fixe menu has changed, eliminating some dishes previously available. 4) In our memory, the serving of rack of lamb went from six chops (on previous visits) to four chops on this current visit. Every restaurant can have an off night. This night there was a big crowd, which may have contributed to the choppy service. The maitre'd and wait staff are very courteous people and obviously tried hard to satisfy us. They provided a birthday creme broulet for my wife gratis. I had salmon on top of a delicious risotto. Our guests were satisfied with their selections, once they came. ChouChou offered a complementary glass of wine or champagne for patrons who select the three course prix fixe menu, and as an apology for the uneven service, they kept filling it. A very nice touch. We'll give them another chance.
