RÊVE

Another place that's been on my list for so long and finally took my bf here. Rêve bistro is a little Paris in the hood. This place is such a hidden gem in Lafayette, being Michelin recognition in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

We started with their charcuterie board, where you can choose the type of meat and cheese you want, paired with the wine we picked from a winery established since 17th century. One of the best wine we've had. The chef also had you tried a shot of soup if it's your first time there.

For appetizers, we had the escargots, which is sure bigger compared to other French restaurants I've been to in the Bay Area. Really well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Also got some of their mixed mushrooms and it was so good.

For main entree, we only had Joue de Boeuf since we already had a lot. The wagyu beef was so tender and well seasoned, served with different types of veggies.

Our server Sophie was so great and recommended so many good options for us. We'll definitely come back since they change their menu seasonal and we couldn't try their desserts yet.

Point Blank, the food I had here was better than the food I had in Paris. The Beef Cheek and Steak/Frits were perfect.

The service was attentive, friendly and not pretentious. They were not shy on what they recommend and, trust me, listen to them.

The Ambience gave me the vibe of a cozy French cafe on the inside and a garden terrace on the outside. Made me feel we were getting all the experiences of a Michelin rated restaurant with a more casual setting.

I will definitely come back with friends.

What is the point of life if not for hedonistic consumption?

That's how I felt when I took my wife here for our anniversary dinner. The service was impeccable (they accommodated us despite me getting the reservation date incorrect, oops!) and the food was well balanced, full of flavor, and delicate enough to impart nuance. Overall, the vibes were immaculate.

I'm still trying to find some time to come back.

Went here with my girlfriend for a date night and had a great experience! The wait staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. We got the escargot as a starter, the squash risotto and boeuf du jour for the main course, and fruit custard for dessert. Will definitely be back!

We went here for my husband's birthday. We reserved a table inside and were sat quickly, it was quite cold inside. We were greeted with a birthday card signed by the staff, which was a nice touch.

We ordered the cheese balls, French onion soup, and the salad for appetizers. The cheese balls were ok, not much cheese inside. The salad was refreshing with edible flowers.

For the main course, my husband ordered the swordfish and I ordered the risotto. The risotto was creamy with lots of mushrooms, which I enjoyed. My husband preferred the sides of the swordfish dish than actual fish itself.

At the end, we opted out for desert, but were given merengue with a candle.

The service was great and we weren't checked on frequently. I am not sure if I'd go again, I have many food restrictions and was only able to eat a few things.

I'm so happy a friend recommended this place. I have French relatives and studied abroad in the Burgundy region so the ambiance is on point for French restaurants and I NEVER see kir royal on menus in the US. After speaking with a couple of the servers about the chef's story and his background, we were sold and will be coming back. The pork chop and lamb were cooked perfectly. The salad was fresh and the escargot was delicious. They even fly the bread in from Tribeca!

This definitely gets my vote for an authentic French experience and you should check it out.

Really great place. Loved the outdoor seating area. The waiter and staff were wonderful. Loved the steak frites and the chocolate mousse. The French onion soup was good, but not incredibly flavorful. The artichoke dip was yummy but I wouldn't order it again. The cheese puff bread bites (I forget their French name) were pretty good, but again I wouldn't order it again. Some things were really delicious, others were nothing too special. But this place is quite pricey, so it's good for a special occasion once in a while but I probably won't be back soon.

What a wonderful bistro! We were a surprise birthday party of 9. I had heard of Reve, so I thought this would be a great place to stage the dinner. Elaine at Reve worked with me. She was amazing!
I expected good food and wine. I honestly didn't expect this! We had roast lamb, moules frites, coq au vin, scallops, and sweet breads for the various entrees. Everyone had the amazing Reve salad. We also had the deviled eggs and charcuterie board. We really couldn't decide what was best!
And the service! Ryan was funny, attentive, professional and seemed to be made for our table!
I can't wait to return.

Outstanding!

My husband and I chose this restaurant for a date night before my husband heads off to Asia for 2 1/2 weeks on a business trip, and we couldn't have chosen a better place to enjoy our time before he leaves.

From the service to the food, everything was absolutely top notch! Our server was incredibly attentive, personable and precisely knowledgeable- leading us into the right direction of what to order.

We started with the escargot and a charcuterie board. For our main dishes, I ordered the scallops over the pea risotto, and my husband ordered the special of the night - the pork chop. Everything was not only presented beautifully, It was absolutely superb!

My husband and I agreed, our first experience here was absolute perfection! We have added this to our list of favorites, and will most definitely be visiting again.

This place was a real find - fantastic French food in the burbs. We celebrated my boss's retirement dinner here and I was blown away by the level of food, service and ambiance.

The menu is very French and I ordered the beet and crab salad, the sweetbreads and floating island. Everything was fantastic with a special shout-out to those sweetbreads (these can taste really strong and nutty but this preparation tasted very clean). Service was fantastic, attentive but not too fussy.

With tax and tip and some drinks, this was around $100 per person. This is very much worth it given the dining experience. The outdoor tent was also a big plus for me. This is a delightful find in a suburban strip mall. Highly, highly recommended!!!
