About

Le Serpent delivers a focused interpretation of Italian culinary traditions with a primary emphasis on meticulously crafted pasta dishes. The menu utilizes seasonal ingredients to construct complex flavor profiles while maintaining a commitment to accessibility through deliberate vegan options. Industrial aesthetics define the physical environment, characterized by expansive ceilings and exposed structural elements that frame the open layout. Diners interact with a rotating selection of plates that prioritize texture and precise seasoning over unnecessary ornamentation. The culinary approach centers on the balance between traditional techniques and contemporary preparation methods. Every dish reflects a dedication to authentic, high-quality components sourced to meet rigorous standards. This establishment functions as a definitive destination for individuals seeking a precise and unadorned experience rooted in classic Mediterranean influences and sophisticated, ingredient-driven cooking.

I found this to be a surprisingly warm & casual place for the high culinary & well deserved praise it receives. I would say it's as strong in seafood as it is in Italian fare making it a good place for compromise if you want to avoid pasta while satisfying your companion's craving.

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.

Le Serpent relies entirely on its reputation & its industrial-chic atmosphere to distract you from the fact that you are being fleeced.

A $430 bill for a couple with two children, without even ordering a bottle of wine & without a steak (or any protein for that matter), that's pretty offensive in my book. The pasta dishes are'delicate' only in the sense that they are missing the actual food.

When the bill arrived, it felt like a punitive tax for choosing the wrong restaurant. A bitter (& starving) end to what was supposed to be a nice night.

If you gotta go there, just be ready to hit the Five Guys two blocks away before or after. But better yet, just don't go.

Le Serpent was an incredible experience from start to finish. We sat at the bar, which created a very intimate & comfortable atmosphere. The team was attentive, warm, & knowledgeable - especially our server, who was exceptionally well versed in the wine menu & guided us toward great pairings.

The food itself was outstanding. The octopus was tender & flavourful, the pasta was fresh & beautifully executed, & the fish - seared to absolute perfection - was one of the highlights of the night. Portion sizes were generous, & the pricing felt very fair for the quality & craftsmanship of the dishes.

A fantastic dining experience overall. We're already excited to return!

Perfect food with knowledgeable & welcoming staff.
Excellent atmosphere, with interesting'Industrial Pea Pod' light fixtures, & some great pipe-work art above the bar area. Not too noisy.

We went with the large group, & it was an extremely nice experience. The dishes came out at just the right time.

Here is the list of the problems:
1. It was too cold inside
2. They dont have sommelier for wine selection & the waiter wasn't really knowledgeable.
3. Cocktails were really average.
4. Food was average & way below the expectation.
Way over priced for the quality of what they provide. Money wasted. NOT RECOMMENDED, won't visit again.
