   La Fontaine is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is so delicious, the service excellent and it is lovely inside. We went there to celebrate two friend's birthday and they gave us two free wonderful desserts a Tiramisu and a Panna Cotta. My favorite dish is the Poulet Aux Champignons. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   Amazing restaurant with amazing food and great service. This is the perfect restaurant for a special occasion. The staff is so welcoming and right on point. My husband and I were looking for a place that was new to us to celebrate his birthday and are so happy we found La Fontaine. There is also a cozy bar area that would be fun to try after work. We will definitely be back.

   We celebrate ladies birthdays 4 times a year at different restaurants and we will not be returning to LaFontaine. We should have left when we arrived at 5:30 and there wasn’t another person in the restaurant. Our drinks took way to long and sat at the bar finished with no one else in the restaurant. Two other staff members walked by our drinks and let them sit until our server picked them up. I don’t enjoy a restaurant where team work isn’t the name of the game. Then when our food was served a large hair was in the food. It wasn’t just on top it was mixed in so someone in the kitchen isn’t putting their hair back. Our server apologized but it honestly didn’t feel like enough. The manager should have checked on us after something like this happened. We did notice our server put her hair up after this and all I can say is I hope she didn’t do it in the kitchen or we know what happens. We asked to speak to the manager after the check was brought because no other apology was made. When we said we didn’t think enough was done the manager said we don’t comp anything above food. We had had 3 meals and multiple drinks so why wasn’t a different meal comped since my friend didn’t want anything else? Why was it only her 2nd meal only to be comped. The manager could have made a gesture of one cocktail or a friends meal but because she didn’t have an appetite nothing else was done? It just smells of bad customer service. The manager really didn’t care and no way this restaurant will be around in a few months. It’s sad and I understand cocktails are where you make your money but it would have gone along way with ladies who just want to eat together a few times a year. No I don’t recommend this restaurant and I hate writing reviews like this.

   La Fontaine is consistently excellent. Our party of 9 loved everything we were served. The chicken Cordon Bleu, branzino, steak, octopus salad, veal meatballs, orichette, and more received happy comments from all of our guests. We all enjoy La Fontaine's food and exceptional service so much that it has become our go-to place for family celebrations.
