Dessert sampler
Rose G.

It was our first time here and everything was amazing! We called to make reservations and came on a Tuesday evening for our anniversary. The interior was a little smaller than I thought but had a really intimate vibe especially with the dim lights. The host was very friendly and made sure to give us the specials before leaving. Our waiter was wonderful! He gave us suggestions and they were all perfect! He made sure to check on us often and never let our waters empty. The food was so delicious!!!! I've tasted escargot a couple times before and it wasn't very good. But we tried the escargot in garlic sauce here...AMAZING! All our food was wonderful and flavorful. The meat was tender and the veggies were good! All in all we give this 100/10 and plan to make another date night to return.

I recently experienced another great French dinner here with Diane, beginning with Bread Service consisting of freshly baked and lightly crusty baguettes slathered with heavenly butter. Next up for me was an app of Escargots in a Garlic Butter Sauce that was simply superb, followed by Moules Poutelle au vin Blanc (Steamed Mussels) in a milky broth. A crock of Soupa L'Oignon Gratinee au Gruyere featured numerous well-caramelized onions, a delicious broth, and a very cheesy baked lid. For mains Diane enjoyed Les Crevettes in a Lemon Butter Sauce (Sauteed Shrimp), while I was very pleased with my perfectly medium rare Les Tournados de Boeuf Blanc et Noir (Filet Mignon) with both Red and White Wine Sauce. My dessert course was the highlight of the meal. While Diane addressed a large Creme Brulee, I struggled to finish an enormous Dessert Sampler that included Creme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse, Profiterole, and Chocolate Macaron. It was a great end to a great meal. Service was attentive and spot on. And the surrounding ambiance in the small dining room was intimate and romantic.

We are here for my Birthday! The food is delicious and the service was also very well received! All three of us had a fantastic meal perfectly prepared! The appetizers were excellent! The restaurant is small but very intimate! Yes we will return! Thank you for making this evening special!

Filet mignon
Amaan V.

Came here for a date night - and I gotta say this restaurant really nails the 'je ne sais quoi' vibe to a T. We ordered the smoked salmon for appetizers, and filet mignon and pheasant for the main. Everything was perfectly cooked - the pheasant was pleasant and juicy and the filet mignon had the most decadent cognac sauce. Finally we had dessert, which I thought was the highlight. We shared crème brûlée and the coupe ardechoise (ice cream w/ chestnuts and brandy). WOW these were so tasty! Finally, our waiter was the best - he would always check in on us with each course and would leave with either a dad joke or small quip.

The food here is amazing! You can tell the chef puts a lot of love and time into the food that is served. I personally think it is so rare to find places like that lately. The restaurant is on the smaller side which makes it feel that much more intimate. Service is also great! We had a birthday party here without any complaints. We were able to bring our own cake and the restaurant plated it for us (with a fee). Recommend it for special occasions or nice dates.

Rack of Lamb
Marie T.

Another incredible meal at Le Chat Noir. Thank you to our incredibly attentive and friendly server Adrien who provided truly excellent service, including making minor modifications in order to accommodate my diabetic mother. We ordered the greatest hits: the Voil au Vent (scrumptious!), the rack of lamb with herbs, the French Onion Soup + bread service, and the special of the day which was swordfish served with capers and a white wine sauce, and a rosemary risotto. The food was excellent, as always: perfectly sized and seasoned portions, with high quality products worthy of the price point. The meats were perfectly cooked to medium, juicy and just the right balance of firmness and melt in your mouth softness. Incredible! We will be back again, and again, and again. Merci Le Chat Noir!

Amazing service presented by Adrien, his recommendations were solid. I had the best escargot with these mushrooms oh my gosh, perfect for dipping my bread. I also had an amazing glass of wine. I really just enjoy this experience. I came by myself and it was just really nice and classy and a bit of sophistication. The portions of their escargot was really nice. It took them a while to make it because it is made fresh and the mushrooms and I'm not a big fan of mushrooms but with these mushrooms it worked perfectly.

Escargot
Kelsii D.

The French onion soup was some of the best I've ever had! We also had the escargot and while I thoroughly enjoyed the pesto, I do love a little cheese on mine as well. I would highly suggest the crepe de mer. Still top notch and the restaurant was able to get us in during prime Saturday lunch time without issues. Definitely worth stopping in for this gem.

Escagot with garlic butter

Brought a friend for dinner to celebrate a milestone. We enjoyed the appetizers (escargots & mussels). My friend indulged in her lamb loin. I thought my duck was a bit over cooked. The dessert sampler was the perfect size to share with someone.

Steak
Reza M.

Love this place. French speaking staff are friendly and informative. Place is cute and cozy. Had the pate this time. Tasty with the unlimited bread. Have had the french onion soup before and it's amazing. We had the steak with two different sauces. Perfectly cooked and so much flavor. Creme brulee is classically delicious. Pinot noir was great. Highly recommend if you're craving french food in the area.

Our evening was amazing ! Thank you Le Chat Noir ‍ chef and waiter's
Lee S.

All I can say is WOW ! I myself haven't had French Food before and for my first time I'm speechless. Just happened to stumble across this little downtown spot with the wife celebrating 34 Years of marriage. From the beginning the experience was amazing. The waiter was very informative and it was a wonderful anniversary. The French onion soup is absolutely delicious and the bread was fresh and the butter was tasty. Not knowing anything about French food I opted for the venison. The sauce was delicious and the venison was tender and juicy, vegetables fresh and potatoes were excellent. Compliments to the Chef ‍ for such a great first experience. Great little romantic spot. Very affordable considering what you get . Definitely will be back to try some more on the menu.

Excellent dining experience! It was my second time dining here with my girlfriend, the service by Adrian was fantastic as always, we felt well taken care of. I got the swordfish and she got the lamb chops, it was her first time trying lamp racks and she loved it! I am also very impressed with both the appetizers and the entrees, the stuffed mushrooms are a must try, and the swordfish cooked medium was delicious. We'll definitely be back for more ^-^

Baguette with butter
Sue P.

Stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and we are so glad we did! Charming little French restaurant with a handful of outside seats. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday but we were able to get seated outside. We ordered the French onion soup, shrimp, lamb chops and the mini dessert tray. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the veggies were all absolutely fork tender and delicious. My only complaint was the lack of a sauce for the lamb chops as I felt it needed a little something. Very affordable for the quality of food and definitely a place to come back to

No, but you can buy out the restaurant for a party of up to about 40.

We brought our family here and honestly didn't expect much at first, but the sushi was out of this world with a very fresh taste. The ice cream was amazing, and the churros were hot, soft, and crunchy. To be honest, this is probably one of the better Mexican spots in the Inland Empire. I would definitely recommend it to anyone passing by, and I will be returning soon. Special shoutout once again to the owner Alfredo for his friendliness and for bringing such a great vibe to the restaurant. Five out of five.

It's in a little shopping plaza with other small businesses. There is plenty of parking. It is brightly lit on the inside and you immediately see the counter with the ice cream bar and some tables. It feels homey and welcoming. There is some nice floral decor. I was immediately greeted when I arrived. I took a look at the menu that is on the counter. Menus are also posted on the window. They have some Hispanic flavors like cajeta and Mexican hot chocolate. I decided to order the Mar and Tierra sushi to go along with an horchata iced latte. Total came out to $25 with some change. I asked the lady how long and she said 15-20. I said that was fine and I took a seat. There was no one inside early in the day (around 1pm). Some customers did come in shortly after I did. My iced latte was done first and it was good. I did taste the horchata and cinnamon. My sushi was ready beforehand. The sushi cake with a bell pepper and soy sauce and other sauce. It was 12 piece roll which was surprised about, it's definitely enough for 2. The sushi is breaded and comes with carne asada, shrimp, avocado, and cream cheese. It was laid out nicely in the box. Delicious and filling. You can also order online. I really enjoyed it! Will definitely come back!

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
