La Petite France - Cincinnati

Unknown to us the restaurant was closing in a few days from our Anniversary reservation If I record everything that went wrong here, folks will not believe it. Let's say it involved a dead fly in my napkin, COLD as in refrigerator plain white rice on my wife's dish, and it was clear that this was not this restaurants finest hour as the sunset was approaching. It was clear the host and staff were taking care of regulars but this was the worst experience we've ever had. I am leaving out lots of details, but believe me when I say you did not miss much if you did not go to this restaurant towards the end of its reign

We had a late business dinner. They were very accommodating even though we were by far the last folks there. Even took a special request from a vegetarian and did a great job with that

The entire experience was first rate. We were seated promptly and our drink order taken immediately. Our server was very understated but attentive. The steak au poivre was excellent and the bread was outstanding. The chocolate mousse was the perfect end to a wonderful meal

We celebrated my husband's birthday, as our last visit before they close for good. It was delicious and so nice. We will MISS this fine, French restaurant. Good luck in Retirement

Authentic French food, with rich, nuanced sauces, perfectly done entrees
