We really enjoyed our meal here. Due to weather, they called to let us know that they were moving us inside (rain and winds), so I guess we'll have to return to dine outside in their adorable dining structure which makes you forget you're in a strip mall. The food was delicious, Two of us had the rotisserie chicken and loved it. I had the mussels and really enjoyed those too. We will definitely return.

This a great place to go for a special occasion or to just enjoy a very delicious dinner in a very great setting. The decor is elegant and the service is impeccable. I highly recommend French Rotisserie.

The Rotisserie chicken was delicious and the ambiance was lovely. The server was brusk and I was not allowed to substitute asparagus for french fries. I was charged $10 for 4 asparagus spears. Dinner was good enough but there are many other places to try in the valley.

Food & service were terrific. We will definately return and make this restaurant one of our regulars. My only complaint was the truffle pasta didn't have any truffle flavor, although the dish was still terrific.

The food and service was very nice. Our only negative is that they were out of much of their wine including all champagnes/sparkling wines, Pinot Noirs, and many of the lower cost and mid range wines. We felt for our server as she had to come back to us numerous times letting us know our choice was not available. ( Please put a list of unavailable wines in the wine/drink menu.) That said would definitely go back.

We split a Caesar Salad - nice and fresh and plenty for two to share. Main courses were Moroccan Lamb Tagine and Seafood Bouchee A La Reine. The Lamb dish was spicy yet was sold to us as very mild. The Seafood dish had mainly bay scallops and the sauce was flavorful yet runny - would have preferred it to be creamy. The highlight was the dessert. The chocolate mousse was very good, yet the must order was the Milles Feuilles Au Citron. If you love lemon and chantilly creme then this is a top notch dessert for you. Ambiance was charming, we could hear each other talking and service was great.

We always enjoy our dinners at French Rotisserie. The food is delicious, the service is attentive but now overpowering and the owners are always there to greet you. The decor makes you think you are in a Parisian cafe. One of our favorite restaurants.

Our overall experience was good. The wait person in particular made it a better than good experience. This is the second time we have been here. We find the food ok and heavy. Most of the items I was interested were not available that evening so I had to settle for something I was not crazy about. We would have to think hard before we would come back.

If you are craving a French meal, head here! We've dined here 4 times and have never been disappointed. The salads are delicate and ample to share (request an extra plate to avoid the split charge). We've had the steak and moule frite, special fish entrees and duck confit. All excellent. The service is attentive and the ambience not what one would think of dining in a mall location.

Very nice. It is very much in the vein of a Parisian bistrol. The onion soup is fabullous. My only concern is that, like most eating establishments, they don't have healthier, lower calorie choices. One or two lighter choices whould be much appreciated.

We had a nice, post-show, dinner here. The restaurant is small with many tables, but plenty of room to move around. It is cozy. The noise level was moderate. They have a nice, heated, outdoor patio that may be less noisy/busy. Our food was amazing. Fresh, hot and delicious. Unique, French fare. Escargot, duck, fresh fish, beautiful puff pastry, etc. They offered a nice wine and cocktail list.

We waited almost 15 minutes after being seated for a waiter to come take our drink order. We had to ask the host to send over our waiter. This was after other people who were seated after us gave their drink orders. Seated in a two person table in the center of a crowded room. Then moved to a table next to the noisy kitchen. The expensive sea bass was not fully cooked. It had to be sent back. We've dined here several times being local. But the service has declined. We will think twice about coming back.

The only complaint I have is about the guy next to us kept clearing his throat and moaning. Quite distracting during our Valentines dinner! Wonderful service, incredible food‼️ I love The French Rotisserie and the employees ❤️‍?‼️

Our reservation was on Valentine's Day and the evening was perfect. The service was professional , the food was done to perfection and the room was tastefully decorated for the occasion.

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner last night. It was as if we walked into a street side cafe in Paris. The ambiance is lovely as are all of the staff! The food was out of this world! We will definitely be back!!
