Great service! The place is relativity small, so it can get quite noisy. It’s amazing how many people they can fit though. We went during Restaurant Week and will definitely return! All of the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. The food is delicious and they have an amazing bar - from cocktails to wine. I tried an earl grey martini (well I tried a few 🤣) - wonderful flavor with the perfect balance.

All I can say is.. chapeau! We had a beautiful night here, everything was perfect. The service, the food, the atmosphere, everything. The vol au vent is still in my mind almost 2 weeks later, so I have to be back. We toped the evening off with the profiterole and creme brule and wow… I still think about them too

I thought the duck confit could have been better. I enjoyed the Ratatouille. The atmosphere was great and so was the service from the waitress. Overall I thought there were better French restaurants in the area such as Zazie.

Ideally, I'd give Chapeau a 4.5/5.

Chapeau offers a bright and inviting dining space with a lively atmosphere. The service, while friendly, could have been a bit more attentive, particularly during peak hours.

We indulged in their four-course Restaurant Week menu, which was a delightful culinary journey. The meal began with a creamy and comforting soup, followed by a trio of salmon that was both fresh and buttery. The scallops, served as the second course, were cooked to perfection, tender and sweet.

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the filet mignon. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, juicy and flavorful. The rich demi-glace complemented the steak beautifully.

While the cassoulet was a hearty and satisfying dish, the duck was slightly dry. However, the overall flavor profile of the dish was good.

For dessert, we tried the French toast and crème brûlée. The French toast was a decadent treat, with the salted caramel ice cream providing a perfect balance of sweet and salty. The crème brûlée, while delicious, was a bit too dense for our taste.

The French martini was a delightful cocktail, with a taste reminiscent of Jolly Ranchers.

Overall, Chapeau offers a memorable dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients and classic French cuisine. While there were a few minor hiccups in the service and one of the desserts, the overall experience was positive.

We enjoyed some very tasty food, ordering the vol-au-vent, escargot, and black cod and profiterole for desert . My husband also tried a signature cocktail made with bourbon and Aperol, which was excellent. The service was top-notch, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The place was clean and cozy.
