I celebrated my birthday with my family at Le Serpent, & I honestly couldn't have picked a better place. The service was warm & attentive, the wine was excellent, & every dish was delicious. The crudo was definitely my favorite appetizer, & the veal as a main was outstanding. Everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavor.
A wonderful experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Le Serpent!

Visited Le Serpent for dinner last night with my fiancé after wanting to try it for awhile, & it far surpassed our expectations! Everything from the building the restaurant is in to the decor, service & food was incredible (I wish I had taken photos to attach here). Best meal we've had in awhile, would highly recommend!

Le Serpent is a true gem. It's no surprise that was recommended for a Michelin star.

The service was phenomenal-attentive, warm, & perfectly timed without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant & inviting, making it ideal for both special occasions & a great night out.

& of course, the food was consistently delicious, beautifully executed, & full of flavor from start to finish.

An exceptional dining experience all around. Highly recommended.

I'm so glad I overcame my hesitation to visit this restaurant based on some of the other reviews. Our server Laure was excellent, & the atmosphere was warm, curious, & beautiful. The food was delicious, very fresh, & unique. I don't always order duck for risk of it being too rubbery but their magret de canard might have been one of the most tender & well-cooked pieces of meat I've ever had. The risotto was so tasty & had a sort of citrusy sweetness that kept it from being too cloying. Highly recommend this restaurant for an intimate occasion needing a little boost of ambiance.

This is a revisit to Le Serpent. All the appetisers are delicious, especially sauces for the oysters & also the cooked oysters. Wine are priced reasonably. No corkages allow here is a disappointment. The pastas were not as good as I remembered but still pretty good. Overall very good. Highly recommended

A great dining experience between the food & service. I would highly recommend the venison if it is on offer. The Rococo is one delicious way to end your meal. The dining room is somewhat small & quite ambient so if a neighboring table is loud it affects everyone.
