  by Bethany Marzewski

  
  

• Seabass cooked in banana leaf was great, my friend got the pork shoulder which looked amazing too, skip the rolls and go straight for their entrees

• Los cubos de filete mignon, una delicia. Subir al bar y oír música en vivo, no te lo puedes perder!

  by Mauricio C

  
  

• Good food but the establishment is past its prime. It's only an echo of its once excellent and stylish self. Goodnight, Le Colonial.

• Don't forget to check out the lounge upstairs. Also avoid the filet mignon and the sea bass and go spicier stuff

  by Jeffrey Glueck

  
  

• The new menu will be taking shape over the next couple of months, but here's a hint: a mashup of Vietnamese pho and French pot-au-feu served tableside, and a spin on riz au lait.

  by Sherry L.

• A fusion restaurant that stays true to Vietnamese cuisine.

  by Nancy K

  
  

• Excellent little spotted tucked into an alley. Get a bunch of rolls and the appetizer sampler to share, the small bites were better than the mains

  by Avin N.

  
  

• Cocktails are amazing. Tropical drinks with real fruit juice. Brussel sprouts and shrimp fried rice are required sides.

  by Nishant B.

  by Nina Vir

• Brussel sprouts and lamb chops were a fantastic combo. Great food!

  by Jennifer H

  
  

• Skip the formal dining and head upstairs to the lounge. Comfortable seating with a full menu, excellent service, and live jazz. Try the braised brussel sprouts or anything with crab.

  by Kevin R.

  
  

• Try pork belly appetizer (3,4 pieces) and filet mignon blocks. Very delish.

  by H K.

  
  

• Travel to French Colonial Vietnam in the 1920’s with this exotic Vietnamese fusion. Enjoy the tropical dishes and then take part in an evening of live music and entertainment.
