Excellent cuisine, atmosphere, service. *** ALERT *** Our otherwise fine evening was damaged when we received the bill that included a 3% surcharge for no legitimate reason, with a note that we could have the amount reviewed if we wanted to. Apparently management is trying to gouge customers who aren't paying attention to the fine print. The surcharge was not a tip to our fine waiter, it is obviously just a way to scrape more money from customers. Our waiter said management was had been trying it out for the last couple of weeks to see if they could get away with it. Horrible business decision that should be reversed immediately. Ridiculous! read more

If you're looking for a restaurant that offers an elevated experience then look no further. Le Colonial is your spot. My husband and I celebrated his birthday here and were so pleased. The atmosphere is elegant, familial, warm and inviting. We sat at the bar until our table was ready and enjoyed cocktails made by Aaron - he was phenomenal!! He made me one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Our server was Erschell and what a delight he was. He was so knowledgeable about the entire menu and gave outstanding recommendations. Now onto the best part. The food. There wasn't one bad item on the menu. But I have to place extra emphasis on the tuna tartare. MY WORD. The flavors of the avocado, tuna, cucumber and caviar all sitting in a bed of sweet yet savory chili sauce were immaculate. Literally fireworks in my mouth. A culinary masterpiece. I will come back for this one item very soon. For dinner we shared the branzino which sits on a bed of lettuce, served with pickled vegetables, lime and coconut sticky rice. The server recommended making miniature fish tacos with the lettuce wraps and I mean wow. Once again, the flavors were unmatched. We added an order of green beans and garlic noodles on the side for a little more substance. The sauce of the green beans is sweet and sticky - something I didn't know I would enjoy so much. I could say so much more about this restaurant but I'll just let you go experience it for yourself. I promise you, you won't regret it. I can't wait to return. read more

It can get pretty busy, especially in the weekends. Definitely recommend to make a reservation. Inside had a nice tropical like decor and loved the vibe inside. We came for drinks after dinner.

Pretty middle of the road for me. Le Colonial, is without a doubt, a stunning restaurant: the mood lighting is set, the white tablecloths add to the elegant atmosphere, and it is in Buckhead Village after all. The food however, was good, but not necessarily great. (I should preface this by indicating that I am a huge southeast Asian food connoisseur.) While I understand that this establishment provides an elevated Vietnamese food experience-- as opposed to traditional fare-- I don't think that anything that I ate was very memorable. I dined here almost 3 weeks ago, we ordered three dishes to share (but I cannot remember one of them). The ceviche was nice, quite spicy for Vietnamese food. The fried snapper, which was $125 market price, wasn't my favorite. It literally just tasted like lightly fried fish. It would've been better if they were a little bit crispier and maybe sprinkled with tamarind salt or something to really boost the flavor. My favorite thing about my dinner experience was the tamarind cocktail that they had which was absolutely delicious. I think I will stick to happy hour if I'm ever in Atlanta again so that I can get the tamarind cocktail again. read more

We had a fantastic overall experience dining at Le Colonial with another couple. With two vegetarians and two meat-eaters in our group, finding a place that satisfies everyone can sometimes be a challenge, but Le Colonial nailed it. Crispy Spring Rolls: Great texture and flavor, though keep in mind they come with a nice kick from the spicy peppers. Shaking Beef (Bo Luc Lac): Absolutely lives up to its reputation as their signature dish--tender, deeply flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Tofu Dish: Absolutely fantastic. It was rich, well-seasoned, and held its own alongside the meat dishes. Green Papaya Salad: Generously portioned and remarkably satisfying--it never fails to deliver a crisp, refreshing crunch. The dim lighting and stylish ambiance made for a great double-date setting. Highly recommend for any group looking for vibrant French-Vietnamese flavors and plenty of solid options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. read more

This place was amazing and a great place to catch up with decade's long friends. The food, drinks and service were amazing. I truly enjoyed every bite. My friends got the shaking beef, Brussels sprouts, roasted salmon and garlic noodles. I got the beef stir fry. We split the crispy shrimp & pork roll. I can't wait to come back or visit a location closer to home. read more

The food is very good at Le Colonial, but for me they lose a star for not handling private events very well. They have a side room which is blisteringly hot, and can squeeze in about 30 people, but the communication between the kitchen and wait staff meant that food was sent out before we were restart, then removed and brought back. The regular diners in the main restaurant seemed to have a better experience (and better air conditioning). I'd go back, but not for an event. read more

What a fancy and fantastic restaurant! Loved it !!!! Went with my colleagues. Excellent service and delectable food. Everyone enjoyed the experience. We ordered some rolls - crispy veggie rolls, a cha gio, Bo boa and chai gio chay - shrimp, veggie rolls. Looked and tasted amazing ! Spicy chicken soup and Ga Xa Gung ginger glazed chicken clay pot - both dishes were one of the best I have ever had. Chicken stir fry looked amazing and my friend raved about the beet salad read more

We had an amazing experience at Le Colonial celebrating our anniversary. Since entering, the ambiance is great, it almost feels like you're in the White Lotus.

I went to Le Colonial for the first time with friends on a Saturday evening. Service was excellent and the decor was beautiful. I ordered the duck with bao buns and pickled vegetables. The duck was tender and the sauce it came with was very good! The bao buns were also very good. I just wasn't a fan of the pickled vegetables which couldn't be substituted sadly. This is more of an upscale restaurant so I probably wouldn't come here often if I lived here but it's certainly a nice experience for special occasions or guests visiting! read more

THE FOOD IS EVERYTHING!!!!! Listen, the food is SO good, I went back two days in a row! We were seated in the lounge area the first time because there is a dress code. However, if you aren't in compliance, they will allow you to sit on the patio or lounge area. The price point is between $30-$50 per entree and worth every penny. I thought the drinks were a bit pricey though at $19 (average price point). It's a beautiful place. The bathrooms were clean! The people were nice. I did not notice any children. Did I mention the food was the bomb??!!!! read more

Amazing food, service , ambiance, and drinks! I completely understand why Le Colonial is highly recommended.

Le Colonial remains one of my absolute go-to spots in Atlanta; I end up here three to four times a year and it never misses. It's easily a top-10 restaurant in the city, no debate. The French and Vietnamese fusion gives the menu a personality you don't find anywhere else, and every dish feels like it was crafted with intention. The service is consistently sharp, warm, and on point, which is a rare combo these days. The chicken and mushroom ravioli was the star for me this time. The flavors were ridiculously good, rich yet balanced, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate what's happening on your palate. The patio is always a win, cozy and inviting even on cooler nights. Inside, the décor nails that elevated, colonial-era charm without feeling stuffy. It's elegant in a way that sets the tone the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a place that delivers atmosphere, flavor, and service every single time, Le Colonial deserves to be on your shortlist. I'll keep coming back. read more

On a Friday, all tables were reserved for dinner but the restaurant has a nice lounge area with tables and the same dinner menu that is first come first serve. We were able to pick a table for 2 in the lounge area immediately, and an attentive server took our orders soon after. The drinks tasted great. The lotus salad was unique, never tried lotus root in this format before, but enjoyed it. Salmon was well cooked but not dry. As someone who usually has leftovers after dinner, the portions were just right at this place. The price was a little more on the expensive side but worth it! read more

I loved the ambiance here as it was upscale but relaxed at the same time! I came here for dinner with a large group so was lucky enough to try a bunch of different dishes as well as some wine/ cocktails. - Le Colonial Cocktail: light and refreshing. The fish design was pretty but was actually a sticky jelly substance which wasn't as fun when it hit my lip - Crispy Shrimp & Pork Roll: So delicious! I could've eaten all of them myself - Chilled Shrimp Roll: OK with the peanut sauce but I'd probably skip these if going back - Brussels Sprouts: Amazing! They're technically a side but were perfect as an appetizer as well! - Pam Seared Chicken Dumplings: Good as well! Had a nice flavor to them! - Seabass w/ La Vong: Good but not my favorite of the entrees. I'd rather have Seabass elsewhere - Shaking Beef: Favorite dish here and definitely a must order! - Fried Rice: Some of the best I've ever had! Delish! All in all, the ambiance was great as was the service and the food... I'll definitely go ahead at the location in houston! We had a great time! read more

Le Colonial delivered on both flavor and atmosphere. We kicked things off with the Spicy Chicken Coconut Soup, which was rich, aromatic, and had just the right amount of heat--an ideal appetizer to warm things up. For entrées, the Spicy Chicken Stir Fry and Shrimp Stir Fry were both excellent. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and perfectly cooked proteins made each bite memorable. The balance of spice and savory was on point. The Sangria was a nice surprise--refreshing, not too sweet, and paired well with the food. The ambience on a Sunday afternoon was amazing--real chill, relaxed, and stylish without being over the top. It was the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a laid-back yet elevated dining experience. The service was really good and top notch.. Very friendly staff! read more

What an incredible experience at Le Colonial. The food was excellent, and every recommendation from our helpful waiter was spot on. The absolute standout was the ribs -- a true 10/10. I had to stop myself from ordering another round, especially since they were just the appetizer. The shaking beef, also recommended by our waiter, was a fantastic choice. I can't wait to go back and try the duck for dinner. read more

When I think back on all the ways I've described food over the years, I'm not sure I've ever used the word unbelievable. But the food here truly is--unbelievable in the best way. It's some of the most flavorful, creative, and flawlessly executed cuisine I've ever had. Every dish was both unique and perfectly crafted. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and packed with rich flavor. We also ordered the spring rolls, and they were hands down the best I've ever tasted. The wrapper was crisp without being too hard, and subtly seasoned in a way that elevated the entire dish. The ingredients inside were perfectly minced, and the use of mint was the best I've ever seen--it complemented the flavors beautifully without overwhelming them. I can't recommend the spring rolls enough. I also tried the spicy beef salad, and it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. I don't think I've ever had a spicy salad before, but now I wish I had. The spice level was bold but balanced, adding depth without overpowering the other flavors. The beef was juicy and tender, and the sweet chili and agave dressing was unlike anything I've had before--definitely a new favorite. I only wish I could buy a bottle to take home! For my entrée, I chose the duck, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The portion was generous, the skin was crisp, and the meat was perfectly cooked. The tea rub on the outside was an inspired touch, pairing wonderfully with the duck's natural richness and adding a layer of complexity to the dish. The cocktails were just as impressive as the food--crafted with the same attention to flavor and balance. And the service? Impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had an amazing experience. This place is an easy five stars. Unforgettable food, exceptional service, and a dining experience that raises the bar. read more

I loved everything about my experience at Le Colonial! We came for a late Sunday lunch, with a reservation. The weather was incredible so we were treated to their cozy patio. The interior was also stunning. From the start, service was punctual and very warm. The waitress helped explain the menu and made our selection very easy! We got the Lotus Root Salad per recommendation, crispy egg noodles, and beef stir fry. Everything was phenomenal, but the real star was the crispy egg noodles! The flavor and crunch was perfect. I cannot wait to come back to see how elevated they are during dinner! read more

Le Colonial has a stunning atmosphere and beautifully presented food, but the portions were a bit small for the price. The flavors were good, just not as bold as I expected. Unfortunately, our waitress forgot about our table of four for around 40 minutes after bringing the entrées, which was disappointing for such an upscale place. Still, it's a nice spot if you're going more for the ambiance than the service or taste. read more

Such a great fusion of Vietnamese and French food! This upscale dining restaurant has a patio, a restaurant, lounge, and even a separate party room that you can rent out. Definitely not a place that you can come just off the street as it does have adress code. We came in for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't as busy as expected. The two of us ended up splitting three small plates and one large plate and it was just enough food! We even had room for dessert. For small plates, we did yellowfin tuna tartare, sesame beef ravioli, and beef carpaccio salad. The yellowfin tuna tartare was not very big but had delicious flavor! It even came with banana chips giving it that extra crunch! The sesame beef ravioli was definitely not what I thought in my head but delicious in my mouth. Imagine Asian flavors with ground beef rolled in rice paper and steamed. More like a burrito than a ravioli. Came with three raviolis and generous amounts of sauce. The beef carpaccio was huge! It came with a full salad on top of the thinly sliced beef. I loved the crispy onions that came on top of it giving that that great crunch and flavor. We split the banh mi sandwich and it was probably my favorite thing we had had all day! The meat was so well flavored and even half a sandwich was plenty for one person. It came with additional banana chips and a small side salad. For dessert we did decide to do the chocolate cake and the presentation was great with a Tableside flambé! The ice cream on top was melting into the warm center of the chocolate cake. I do believe they have this restaurant in multiple locations so I will be going! read more

I thought I had reviewed L Colonial, but apparently not. We were four for Saturday lunch. The main dining room is beautiful, Sophia our waiter was very helpful, and it was quiet enough that we could actually have a conversation without shouting. The restaurant claims to be French-Vietnamese. In fact it was kind of fusion Asian food (lots of Thai influences) modified for people who don't want to go to a Vietnamese restaurant in a strip mall. Think of it as entry-level Vietnamese food for people who have never eaten Vietnamese food. Two of the diners have various food allergies and were able to find selections that allowed them to eat without concern. My wife and I split tuna tartare which was lovely but overpriced, papaya salad (You can find better at dozens of store front restaurants all over the city), and some kind of eggplant that was the best thing we ate. Note: be sure to get your parking ticket validated by the hostess. read more

Located in Buckhead Village; Came here for a Friday afternoon lunch. I was coming from work, but please note that they have a dress code. No athletic wear. The sign is posted downstairs near the elevator entrance. Once you enter, they have a patio area and then you have to walk inside to check in. The patio area is a vibe, as the weather was nice. I was greeted by Tori, our waitress and she provided us with various menu options but thoroughly explained each dish. To drink, I order the Green Makrut Gimlet; I had 2. If you like gin, you will enjoy this. Also the lychee martini was chose and it was good. To start, we had the dumplings and the egg rolls. The dumplings, in fact, did not look appealing at first, but it was AMAZING!! I would have those again. The entrees we chose were the salmon and the beef and a side of garlic noodles. I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time; for brunch. I truly enjoyed lunch and will be back. read more

Amazing fusion Viet and French restaurant! Ambiance is great, staff are amazing, and the restaurant is just beautiful. We tried so many things on the menu, and even the worst dish (green beans) would still be a 4/5 stars. The beef ravioli was the absolute best dish; rice noodles with very flavored beef and it's so soft! The chicken curry was a close second - very flavorful and chicken is tender. Third was the pork and shrimp rolls which were crispy, delicious, and paired well with the sauce. The garlic noodles and papaya salad also paired super well together, and the fried rice was nicely made. The shaking beef was very tender but didn't taste as amazing as every other dish and seemed a little salty. The green beans were a little soggy and not as crispy as I would have liked. Nonetheless, both were still pretty good just not knock your socks off good. read more
