    Really great food and service. We love eating at the bar, but the bar lighting is a bit bright. Love the globe lighting above the high tops, but library style lighting above the bar is harsh. Love the food!

    We ordered the seafood tower for two and it was a delicious appetizer, the ahi tuna, gigantic shrimp, scallops - all well seasoned and fresh! The new york strip was perfectly cooked and my date had the mussels. The sauce was divine with his dish. Servers were awesome and the manager came out and introduced himself to end a wonderful night out!! Thank you 🍽☺️

    My skate wing was tough and way too salty. Couldn’t eat it. The octopus appetizer was better although mostly for all the good bites that weren’t the overcooked octopus. My husband said his lamb tagine was pedestrian. Won’t be back.

    We had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Le Tour! All the food was delicious, including Octopus salad, skatewing, chicken and mille feuille dessert. Enjoyed some great cocktails as well. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Beautifully decorated and can't wait to go back to check out the cool bar area!

    The service is impeccable. From the hosts to.severs, mixologists and busters, every person is warm and genuinely interested in enhancing the guest experience. Your water glass is never empty and the chef ensures the dishes are consistent every time we dine here. The ingredients are fresh and prepared and plated authentically and served at the perfect temperature. The tables are close together but the acoustics are such that you feel elevated like you are in the mix, but private enough not to overhear your neighboring diners. We love it here!

    We were celebrating a birthday lunch at LeTour. The food was outstanding, but I have to ding Le Tour for the kitchen service. Apparently they were short staffed in the kitchen, and our server did everything he could to keep our order in line. However, our food took a very long to come out. Our appetizer came out with the food, and both took ~45 minutes to reach our table. If this was a leisurely dinner it would not have been a big deal, but some in our party had to leave early to return to the office before our meal was over/checks presented. Le Tour comped our appetizer which was kind of them, but hopefully they can work out the kitchen kinks soon.

    the ambiance is lovely and the service always good, but the menu is limited. We have been to LaTour about 15 times and just wish the menu would change. We ate in the west room for the first time and would always choose it!

    Wasn’t dazzled at all. They seem to be experiencing extreme staffing issues. I was frantically told by every staff member I talked to that they were shorthanded, and that seemed to be true because the service was exceptionally slow. When I arrived I was told that my table wasn’t ready, so I sat at the bar. After about 20 minutes I went to check in with the hostess, and she had completely forgotten about me! Additionally and perhaps as a result of staffing issues, the food and drinks are not inspiring. The tartine we ordered is a small piece of bread with tomatoes on it. The chicken tagine was lukewarm and tasted fine, the cauliflower steak lacks real substance. The ambiance is a little strange; they took a cool mid century modern rotunda and splashed some fancy French countryside finishes on it. It looks cool and expensive but not quite right. Do whatever you can to not end up in the party room at the back of the space; it’s clearly an afterthought and/or where they ran out of money while decorating and has none of the vibe of the front of the restaurant.

    The restaurant has a great ambiance but the food was disappointing.one dish was the steak frites. The meat was tough and chewy. The other dish was from their Moroccan selection and I ordered the taglne of chicken. . There was very little chicken it was served in was a bowl and it was soggy and with the couscous it was a.most soupy. The best part of the meal was was the goat cheese tartine. The burnt cheesecake was very good the texture was not dense and fluffy with a burnt flavor which was excellent. The North Shore has two very good French restaurants, Pomeroy and Michaels which I prefer

    fantastic food and service - just know that the restaurant is a little loud (especially on weekends) it is not at all unpleasant (it is more of a 'happy' loud) but if you wanted to have a quiet conversation with your dining partner - maybe go on a weekday when it is less crowded. i love this place any night of the week :) but my partner is deaf in one ear, and he prefers weekday evenings

    Overall, a nice experience. Service at the table was terrific, however, we waited a long time…maybe 30-45 minutes too long for food to come to the table. We were having a good conversation, so it really didn’t matter that much, but for someone looking for a normal wait time to get food, be prepared. Ambience at the bar area was great!

    I have dined at Le Tour several times and the food is consistently excellent. I was a bit surprised by the lag in service this time. Apparently there were a few large groups dining at the same time. Again, this was not the norm and I still recommend this establishment.

    clearly you despised your experience and we are so sorry for that. it is our hope and goal that each of our guests enjoy their evening. as for ambiance, i designed them both, so glad at least you like the barn steakhouse. the "terrible" service is really my concern, poor service is not a matter of taste as in wallpaper. can you please give me some specific examples. thank you. amy morton owner and designer
