Little Frenchie is a 10/10!…read more We had a little bit of a snafu when we first arrived, but the manager, Daniel, went above and beyond to make up for it in every possible way. He genuinely reminded me of what hospitality is supposed to be. Someone who understands that being in the service industry means taking care of your guests, treating them with kindness, and making them genuinely want to come back. He completely turned our experience around. And the food was incredible. We had the quiche, one with mixed greens and one with potatoes. Surprisingly, we actually preferred the salad over the potatoes, but the real star was the quiche itself. I can confidently say it was the best quiche I've ever had. We also tried a cronut, which was my first time having this type of pastry, and it was absolutely delicious. This is the kind of restaurant I would recommend to anyone and everyone because they don't just excel at their food, the service is equally wonderful. A restaurant can have great food, but when you combine that with people who genuinely care about the guest experience, it makes for a location you dream of coming back too. We will 1000% be back!

I think the name was in homage to the orange trees (and buildings to protect them) that were planted along the avenue by the original settlers of Coronado. There was a lovely outdoor patio in front of the entrance. The interior had several tables across from the open kitchen for inside seating. If you don't mind being outside, then dining al fresco is the way to go. A menu of the day was available that featured drinks, salty, sweet, and dessert items. The main menu was several pages long with a few of them dedicated to drinks. For a French bistro, the variety of items was solid. From the list of nine Main Courses, I chose the Creamy Chicken which was a chicken breast coated with cream and mushrooms. French fries and a salad came as sides to the dish. The flavor of the creamed mushroom sauce was good while the fries were ordinary. My concern was the prices as they seemed high, especially for some of the more simple preparations. I noticed that Chef Philippe and all of the staff were fluent in French which was a good sign for the camraderie of the team. The service I received from multiple workers was fine. A happy hour runs from 2:30 to 5:30 daily. I rounded the rating for my dining experience at L'Orangerie up to a four star level because I really liked the ambiance of this new café.

May I say that I think the wines were so over priced. I understand making a profit... I'm certainly not against that. When a simple Cote' D Rhône that I can buy for $14 is $65 .. it's just hard to get past that. The menu.... meh. Not impressed. To say Seafood anywhere on your website is kind of misleading. One Salmon dish ( which is pretty pedestrian) and then the fish of the day which was Black Cod. It was quite good.. but really should have a few choices. How about some oysters? How about Scallops? We did the beet salad and the Tuna Crudo. Nothing was outstanding. Really. Will I return? I doubt it. Too many other places in town with more selection. Never went inside... but saw a small bar with a TV and the music was 80's -90's. How about some French Music? Nothing French about it except for the name.

French onion soup. Enough said. Deviled eggs rounded out our light snack, and those were freshly prepared. While the expected olive and chive flavor was outstanding, the anchovy was done just right to elevate the dish (my understanding now is that anchovy is usually included in deviled eggs as served in Europe). Our espresso martinis excelled at fronting the coffee taste before the vodka, instead of the usual other way around. This sip was exactly as I remember when I had the same for dinner previously. Service as mentioned, was extremely friendly and more importantly, went beyond service and well into hospitable. Love coming here. So, if you're in the area and just need a light snack (or a hearty dinner), drop on by - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The peppercorn sauce was great for the fries we would savor every bite and be sad when we took our last. Tonight after a year of talking about this steak we went here looking forward to what we have been dreaming about for a year. However, our joy was soon crushed and turned to ash in our mouths by the atrocity that was the new steak frites. Who the hell puts curry sauce on a steak this isn't Indian food. The meat was tough and chewy thank god for the sharp knife. Only thing that was still the same were the fries. Seems like someone either bought this place and cut corners or stopped caring. Mind you the old steak frites was 37 and quality meat the new price is 42 and lower quality. This is the last time we will visit and we are truly sad. The bartender was awesome and friendly. Ambiance of the room changed and seems brighter than it used to be. Chew on this as long as we chewed on that "steak"

Calafia Oysters: Bright and unique, paired with a fermented spicy kosher granita and citrusy absinthe vinaigrette. Local Yellowtail: Balanced beautifully with a coriander avocado mousse, morita sea pearls, and a fermented spicy ginger sauce.

Taking her advice, we sat on the patio. The regular dining room wasn't a good option either, given the heat in there too, aggravated by an extremely high noise level. Turned out, sitting on the patio was a mistake. The other two spaces cooled more and sooner than did the patio. My party ordered two different absinthes, a cocktail, and a glass of red wine, all delicious. The absinthe service is always fun. A special little ceremony. Our dishes were a mixed bag. Mussels-- sweet, tender, in a wine sauce worthy of being sopped up by every last morsel of grilled bread served with the tasty mollusks. Pasta in duck ragu-- the gentleman who ordered this dish thought the wide noodles themselves were sumptuous, but was disappointed that the sauce contained no duck meat. Chicken cordon Bleu-- a big hit with the teen who ordered it. Two generously sized pieces of tender chicken, rolled and filled with ham and cheese, all packaged into a very, very crispy coating. He also loved the accompanying pureed potatoes. Baramundi-- pleasant enough for the couple who shared it, but not memorable. They were especially pleased that the chef attended to their need to dine gluten free. Lamb ribs-- delectable. The serving of two tender chops arrived perfectly medium rare, just as I had requested. A light hand with seasoning showcased the flavor of the chops. There was no complimentary sparkling wine or dessert as we had enjoyed in the past when celebrating a birthday, which would have been a nice touch, but our main interest was the quality of the dishes we ordered. Our service was very good at times, AWOL at others. Because of the heat? I'll probably never know. Fortunately, extremely hot weather is rare here in San Diego, but I'd suggest that, since this restaurant is so reliant on walled-in roofless dining spaces, they consider closing for the duration of any future heat waves should they occur. It's difficult to enjoy a fine dining meal when the staff is so uncomfortable that their performance is sub-par, and the dining environment is dramatically uncomfortable. I'm still awarding 4 stars, but just barely.
