It was ok. Food was a bit low quality. I could taste simple cheap mushrooms in the duck confit. The duck entree was made with terrible quality of duck. Definitely need improvement in purchasing of quality produce.

The food and atmosphere at Colette was impeccable. A group of us went for our monthly book club and brunch and we came out so happy. Definitely recommend the croissant basket and the eggs benny!

Service was outstanding as were the meals for our party of four. The beat and arugula salad was fresh and wonderfully prepared. The Brussel sprouts were over the top as well. We each had a different entree all of which were excellent: meat and fish cooked appropriately and delivered hot. Was our first visit and will def return.

Delicious French food in a quiet bistro atmosphere. I had perfectly prepared duck breast, seared skin, over mashed sweet potatoes and haricot vert. My friend enjoyed the tenderloin steak frites, and two other friends went for the pesto pasta. The creme brûlée was some of the best I've ever had. Nice wine selection by the glass, too.

Great food and service. Yummy. Best Caesar salad ever. A little noisy for the older set.

Decided to visit Colette on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. All of the food was plated beautifully and very fresh to taste. The cocktail list was carefully crafted and unique as well. Although we went for dinner, the experience was so positive that we're already planning on returning to try out their brunch options as well

Attention to detail is outstanding! We were immediately greeted and taken to our table. Beautifully decorated and comfortable seating. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming ( we even noticed the vents in the ceiling were clean and shining, no dust buildup ) Our drinks were beautiful and delicious Each meal came out looking fresh, beautifully crafted and smelled delicious . Fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned food. Restrooms are also clean with easy stair and elevator access. This is our 3rd visit, for brunch, and we have been wowed each time.

My husband & I took a visiting friend here for supper - the table was comfortably sized and separated from others, so we could hear ourselves talk; the server was super charming and generously attentive; the food was excellent - I had the steak frites & it was delicious; my husband had the pasta pesto & enjoyed it very much; our guest had the sole, and said it was great. Really lovely evening - kudos to the team!
I absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive. I never went to this restaurant but found it to eat dinner there before a show at the Somerville Theater. I highly recommend! Had the Brussels sprouts, the duck and mushroom pastry, the cod piccata and the short rib. We loved it all.
We had a great dinner experience at Colette! Our server was so pleasant and attentive, and the bartender came over to our table to talk to my mother to select the best bourbon for her Old Fashioned - such sweet attention to an elder. Food (including several fish dishes) were perfectly prepared. Sometimes I hesitate to book at a hotel restaurant but Colette dinner was fantastic- great dinner even if you're not staying at the hotel.
Food was delicious- service was a little slow but very pleasant. Loved the decor such a cool place. Noise level - it was very loud - my father in law had a tough time hearing us but I really enjoyed the meal - would love to go back in the summer and sit at the patio tables.

Fun vibes and excellent service, but there’s an industrial shelving unit in the middle of the dining room where dirty dishes and water bottles are stacked. Distracting: this should be moved. The whole setup felt a bit “pop up” in general, not least because the only available restrooms were in the basement of the hotel.We got the sole (quite good, and with fantastic smashed truffle potatoes) and duck (didn’t ‘wow’ me: was cold by the time it got to my table). Was neither sophisticated enough nor generous enough in portion-size to exactly warrant the price, but a positive experience overall. I could not speak highly enough of the wait staff who were friendly, attentive, and efficient.

Great food, friendly and attentive staff, eclectic vibe. I went for brunch and have been for drinks in the evening. The way they have their tables arranged allows for more private conversations and is really more intimate.Vegetarian options: There are a lot of cheese options for proteins in their brunch and have been with vegetarians without any issues. I wasn’t tracking vegan options, though there there is a lot of dairy. It’s French and to be expected.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a relatively new building, and up to code as of 7-8 years ago. The tables are well spaced, some with lower table options, that can be moved around easily. If making a reservation, let them know and they can adjust more easily. The restrooms are in the basement but there is an elevator and the washrooms are easy to access.
