    By far the worst service l've experienced in my life and I would say deceptive behavior on top of that.The service was incredibly slow and inattentive. We ordered a 2021 $129 bottle of wine. The server brought out the wrong vintage by 3 years. When we asked her about it, she basically told us to deal with it and there's nothing she can do about the price difference. We waited for our cocktails for 25+ minutes and after 45 minutes of just sitting and waiting for our server to get herself together to take our order we called it and left. We went to Del Frisco's down the block and had an excellent meal and service. Don't waste your time here.

    Excellent food and service. Escargot as an appetizer and the trout and fish crepe for main courses. Our favorite place to dine in Cherry Creek!

    We have been patrons of LeMerise for over 15 years. We always enjoy our meals there, and this time we were celebrating our adult son's birthday. The red snapper was prepared beautifully to accommodate my wife's food allergies, and the service was great. Our son had the Beef Bourguignon and I enjoyed the French onion soup and a Caesar salad. It was warm and cozy on a rainy night. Great place to relax and enjoy a civilized dinner!

    I had a Beet Salad and then the Steak Frites, which were both excellent. The drink sizes were generous. Enjoyed it very much and the service was excellent as well.
