    The Quiche Lorraine: Egg tart with bacon lardons, gruyere cheese, with arugula salad was delicious. The crust was freshly baked and light. Grapefruit mimosa was refreshing. The service was spot on and the ambiance was impressive. The restoration of the interior of the building was spectacular, stunning decor, the glass windows spotlighting the bakery/kitchen was a great touch. Comfortable setting and polite staff. A must return asap for me!!

    Two Egg Breakfast
    Luis S.

    I had the two egg (poached) breakfast. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The potatoes flavorful and cooked just right. And the bacon was flavorful with a hint of maple. Service was attentive and the ambience was comfortable and not noisy like most restaurants. The raves stop there. What is going on with their baked goods? We started with a basket of small biscuits. They were fresh & a little flaky but they had a bitter aftertaste...likely too much leavening agent. And the Croissants? Yikes!! Doughy and heavy like small anchors. Sad because they looked promising. The accompanying mango and strawberry jams were quite good. My meal also came with 3 small silver dollar pancakes. They tasted like they came in a box labelled "ready to heat". Sorry to be so negative but work on your baked goods and you will be the perfect place for brunch. BTW, as we were leaving another table was complaining about the baked goods. Just saying.

    This place is so cute! Perfect spot for Brunch. Interesting menu items and friendly customer service.

    Service was good & restaurant is super cute. Main dishes were not seasoned to my liking/very bland & my husband's duck was burnt/over cooked. Food made for great pictures though. Took home dessert & that was good.

    Taro latte with pastries.
    Esmeralda H.

    Pastries are so delicious. I recommend the pistachio tart, which I took to go. The service was amazing. The taro latte was the best!

    Amazing food! Amazing service! The croissant cookie was to die for! The French onion soup was so delicious. The French onion burger my mom had was superb! Also the steak and fries is a must try! Please run to this place quickly and give it a try you won't regret it! I have had croissants in Paris and these remind me of those!!! The restaurant also is so cute! I love the vibe in Jolie Petite so much!

    John was our server and was a gracious host ! We had the French omelette , the eggs in pergatory, and the quiche special . We also had their house made raspberry jam. All of it was delicious. The decor was very French and chic. Great pastries as well.

    Ambiance is elegant and food presentation to match the ambiance. The food is flavor provoking as it stays true to its French nature. For the person who complained that they do not offer french press ... LOL . The French press is not part of customary French brewing methods only that it was invented by French dudes.

    Inside

    The service was good and the inside decor was elegant. The food however was disappointing, too salty and overpriced for the taste in my opinion. The pastries were homemade and fresh, which is the highlight of the restaurant. I would only go for that reason but there is no french press on the coffee menu and the cold coffee beverages were presented in cheap disposable cups

    My boyfriend and I had brunch at crepe town on a Monday morning. They are going to close soon and…read morereopen at a different location so I wanted to try them out before they disappear for a while. It is kind of hidden next to the museum but we found it after a couple of minutes. I can see why they want to move to a different location so you can find them easier and so the seating can maybe look a little more elevated. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and it wasn't too full so we chose to sit in a corner and it wasn't too full pretty quiet. This was a nice little change compared to most brunch places that are loud, we enjoyed being able to talk without yelling. There is only one server so I'm not sure how they do it if it gets busy but he was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We got a green tea with pineapple and a raspberry tea. They came unsweetened so you could add the sugar you wanted and customize the sweetness. Soft drinks (Coke, sprite etc) were not refillable so I'm not sure if it was a can or bottle. Coffee was available (cafe de olla) and also had free refills. I got the eggs Benedict with a spinach crepe and it was pretty good. I liked the fruit it came with, it was super fresh and the eggs were perfect! My boyfriend got the poblano chicken with a spinach crepe and this one was AMAZINGGGG! I know why the server said it was his favorite. He added some spice with the chile and it was perfect. I would 1000% come back for more and I will definitely go to the new location for this specific plate. The chicken was shredded perfectly, corn, poblano pepper and the cheese was all delicious. We ordered a side of almond flour pancakes because we were pretty hungry and weren't sure if our plates would satisfy us but we loved these! It comes with strawberries, bananas chocolate sauce and I think roasted pecans. It was so yummy and the pancakes were a little dense but the toppings complimented it so well. I do wish the server came back so I could ask for more syrup because my boyfriend and I like to drown our pancakes but that little cup was fine. Overall I would definitely come back and try other things on their menu. I hope they get a soda fountain since I am a Coke Zero addict but their tea was not bad. I also got to try their mostachon with strawberries and that was hands down the best mostachon I have ever had. I will be looking into ordering a full size one because it is worth it!!

I had my grand kids with me and they were impatient. I had to keep them entertained. This place is not ideal to bring children.

We parked in the back and walked through the back patio and were escorted by a very friendly server who knew the history of the building (impressed). She led us to the front door. Then we had to climb some very steep stairs. For the average individual it wasn't bad. But we had two seniors with us that found the steps challenging. Once inside we were greeted by the hostess and a very not so good odor (we almost walked out, it smelled musty and very old, our thoughts were the bathrooms. These need to be renovated badly). But once you get into the dining room there was no more smell. Tino was our server for the evening he did an amazing job. We ordered classic pasta (honestly it had good flavor but the sauce was very watery), the Duck (that was very good), and the Prime Rib (that was huge, that would be perfect for two people). We finished dinner and proceeded to go outside to the patio (mind you this is in January, when the weather is perfect for sitting el fresco) and had dessert. We ordered the Banana's Foster (Santana did an excellent performance, best part of the dessert) or Platanos Cajeta (huge difference) and the Flan. They were both good. This was a Saturday night and they had a duet playing acoustic guitar music (this helped top off the evening). We ended up spending a good amount of time here and enjoyed each other's company in a very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be revisiting.

    We decided to try a new place while we were in town - glad we did!…read more The place has a bit of an upscale vibe but folks were dressed from dressed up to somewhat casual. Our server was Sublany and she was awesome. Very personable and her recommendations were spot on. We decided to start with the Calamari with sun dried amogio. The calamari were large and prepared perfectly. The sun dried amogio was amazing - great flavor and some heat - the perfect pairing with the calamari. Great start! We tried the soup of the day which was something we'd never heard of much less eaten. It was a green bean soup - the beans were puréed with cream, some cheese and red pepper flakes. We weren't sure how it would taste by Sublany highly recommended it so we went for it. It was really good - the flavor was subtle but great; nice and creamy. We would definitely order it again. For our entrees my wife tried the salcicce which was pappardelle, fennel sausage, roasted red bell pepper, marinara, caprino and red pepper flakes. It was also very good - the pasta was prepared perfectly and the flavors all worked very well - another hit. I selected the lamb chops which were frenched lollipops, blue cheese cream and an arugula salad. The chops were perfectly prepared and the blue cheese cream on top was amazing - made very good chops excellent. The arugula salad also had a great flavor. I would also order this again. For dessert we decided to share a Hand Pie which was an apple pie with caramel drizzle and ice cream. The texture of the dough was great and the apples had a great cinnamon flavor which worked well with the caramel drizzle and the vanilla ice cream. This place was great! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more upscale than the run of the mill restaurants!

And we'll be back again, I'm sure, but tonight was not a good night. Would rate tonight two stars based on value for price, but bumping up a star based on past experiences. We arrived, with reservations, to a half-empty restaurant. We (my wife and I) were first seated in a tight spot between a very large party and a wall, with a narrow aisle for the server to pass through separating us. After being seated, we realized this spot was not for us and asked to be reseated. Good thing, too, since moments later a player arrived to play corny Christmas tunes at a piano *immediately * adjacent (less than 3 feet away) to our original table. Nobody had asked us if we minded giving up our night's conversation in favor of the piano. I'm sure some folks would've loved it, but you need to ask before sitting people that close to the music. Anyway, glad we moved. If all else had gone well, I wouldn't be bothering with this review. But. The timing was terrible: we ordered cocktails before dinner. When they arrived, our waiter took our order - and within two minutes appeared with our soup and salad. My cream of cauliflower soup was great, but did not mix with my drink. What ever happened to enjoying a drink *before* dinner? My subsequent caesar salad was as good as any I've had, but when dinner arrived my wife's steak and baked potato were barely above room temperature. She also mentioned that her filet was incredibly dry. My New York strip was tasty, though. Oh, but the wine: we each ordered glasses of red, but both were *ice* cold. Like really really cold. So we slogged through the meal, but as you might imagine we were ready pretty soon to write it off as an off night and move on. So we placed our utensils on our plates, pushed our plates a tiny bit away, and sat back a bit so the server could see we were finished. Which he might have, if on any of the six subsequent times that he passed near our table he had bothered to even glance at us. Finally, we had to get another server to request that our server bring our check. So he finally shows up asking what we need, not bringing the check as we requested of his colleague. I again asked for the check mentioned to him that as a server it is useful to look around at your tables whenever you pass through the room. He did not apologize. Look, this is usually a great place. I'm sure we'll be back on some future visit to McAllen. Tonight, though, not so much. I hope the management is paying attention to this and that this was truly just a rare off-night and not a sign of declining service. At this price, you need to do better.

    I don't come here often. When we do, we know to expect a large check at the end. However, we've…read morenever left disappointed. The ambiance is calm and relaxing.
