Obsessed with this place since my first visit in Chicago. The food and service are both consistently good and the decor is a whole vibe. Edison was our server and did a great job with recommendations. The highlights of the night: - The lychee martini was absolutely divine - the shaking beef is my go to. So yummy! - we got the pork and shrimp rolls and they were so simple but sooo good! They are eaten wrapped in mint and lettuce with these crisp red chili peppers which for sure have a kick! - the fried rice was absolute perfection! We also had the sea bass which was good but a little flakey. We did the chicken stir fry which was also very good but didn't rise to our favorite. read more

Le Colonial is definitely on the pricier side, so I'd recommend ordering family style with a few larger plates and some smaller plates to share. We tried several dishes, and our favorites were the shrimp stirfry, eggrolls, and papaya salad. We also had the mussels special, salmon, fried rice without pork sausage, chocolate cake, and tapioca pudding. Overall, the food was decent, but I felt like it was missing the depth of flavor I usually expect from Vietnamese food. A lot of the dishes could've been hotter since they mostly came out just warm. For the prices, I just don't feel like the food lived up to the cost. The ambiance is nice for a special occasion, and our waiter was great, but it's probably not somewhere I'd personally come back to. Parking is mostly street parking, so keep that in mind. read more

I called and left 3 voicemails for the general manager over the course of a month and never heard back. I sent an email to the team about my disappointment in the experience and the lack of communication. Someone finally reached out yesterday 02/17 and said he was available to chat at 2 different times. I said I was available and I called him both times that he suggested yesterday and today. No answer and no response to my voicemails. This lack of communication is beyond frustrating. read more

Been meaning to dine here for a while and finally got here for a special Mothers Day lunch. So good! Every dish was delicious and we barely scratched the surface of the menu. Excellent service, lovely evocative vibe/decor. We had the lotus root salad, cabbage/chicken salad, tuna tartare, "shaking beef", fried rice, stir fried noodles and Brussels sprouts. Plus two delicious desserts. Will be back for sure. (Pricey, yes, but worth it) read more

I love this restaurant. (Been to Chicago, Atlanta as well). This was a spur of the moment, walk in 10 minutes before lunch closed and we're still treated as if we were part of the dinner crowd with a reservation. Shrimp rolls, beet salad, noodles. All perfection. I told our server it was my niece's birthday while she ran to the restroom. "Chocolate or vanilla" Vanilla and the most amazing crème brûlée appeared. We both loved it. read more

After having raved to one of my neighbors for many many times, I had to bring her here. I ordered for the two of us, because I had dined here so often I knew the menu rather well. I'm not sure which dish was that made us look at one another and said "wow, that was amazing!" read more

Unique atmosphere, Cherry creek prices, not worth coming back. This was disappointing because walking in I felt like we found a hidden gem. The style makes me think of the Orient express/Asian glam. For the drinks being $20+ they were off balanced and nothing we would order again. My tamarind sour was beautiful but syrupy sweet, the Old Cuban was tart and bitter. It was 3pm and the bar was almost full so the one bartender wasn't very attentive. The beef Pho had one piece of beef in it, and the broth was flavorful. The chicken curry was also very flavorful but a little on the salty side. The bartender never asked how anything was but if we were good which seemed more like, do you need anything? So I can't say the atmosphere alone would be reason enough to come back. read more

Been wanting to try Le Colonial for so long and I'm so glad I went for my boyfriend and I's anniversary! The service is top tier, we were constantly checked on and they wanted to make sure we had a perfect dinner. It's pretty busy so I recommend making a reservation beforehand. The ambiance is nice and the lights are dim. For food we got the banh uot, bo luc lac (could have more meat and less veggies) pork ribs (a bit on the drier side), and crème brûlée which were all delicious! Only con of the night is I firmly believe at any restaurant serving Asian dishes there should be rice included in the entrees especially for how expensive it is! Other than that, I can see myself definitely coming back! read more

To start, the ambiance is lovely. Good setting for a date night. For the food we ordered: Yellowfin Tuna Taretare - Rich umami and flavor. Excellent appetizer. Green beans - Unfortunately came out dry and some pieces were too chewy. Beef Loc Lac (Shaking Beef) - Meat was tender and had good flavor. Claypot Chicken - Chicken was very dry and not too much flavor. In general I wish the food was more hot when it arrived. In addition the food were on the sweeter side of things. Was hoping for more flavor profiles. Personally I think the dishes, especially claypot and shaking beef were overpriced for what they were and the quantity you get. read more

This has been one of my favorite restaurants, since my dad & I used to visit the Rush Street location in Chicago, over 20-years ago, when he'd come to visit me during college. I love the ambiance, of both the Chicago & Denver locations, as well as the French Vietnamese cuisine, which is always delicious. This location has pretty good service, though they're having a strange issue with their bathroom faucets, and next to no water pressure, clearly needing to work with their plumbers &/or the city, to fix, as it's virtually impossible to wash one's hands, in only one of the sinks. In parallel, I was frustrated that even though our table purchased bottled water, when a group of ladies & came here a few weeks ago, I had to repeatedly ask for my glass to be refilled. The mark of quality service is to never have an empty water glass. (My dad taught me proper etiquette, after being born & raised in Beverly Hills, before he passed away in 2021, which is what brought me back to my hometown, from both the East & West Coasts.) I've also come here in September, with a friend visiting from Hawaii. And I came here with an ex, last Valentine's Day 2025, for the pre-fixe menu. Overall, in spite of some of these issues, which I attribute to Denver being an "overgrown cowtown," according to my bi-coastal dad, like me, this remains one of my favorite restaurants in my hometown, and I remain optimistic that some of these minor quirks, which are on-par for Denver, can be worked out, once management reads this review. :-) read more

Big thanks to the Manager for making our night special! I know he worked hard to make some rearrangements so I sincerely appreciate his kindness when I first walked in. They accommodated our party of nine even with a last-minute seating change. The hostess told me that its against corporate policy to have a party over 9 when I first asked which startled me a bit. But once the Manager stepped in, all was at ease. He then explained to us that they typically require private dining after 8. Chef Matthew was incredible, welcoming everyone as we arrived, explaining the menu, and letting us know we'd need to order all at once so the kitchen could pace dishes. Chef Grace was equally fantastic. When there was a mix-up with the beef salad, she fixed it immediately and even comped the beet salad, which was so generous. The food was fun to try as a Vietnamese household because we knew it would be a unique Vietnamese-French blend. The restaurant is gorgeous with a chic velvet ambiance. Dishes leaned much more on the sweeter and citrusy side which felt at times too overpowering with some strong oyster sauce and curry notes, but overall a great experience. Service was excellent with waters constantly refilled and dishes cleared quickly. Valet and paid parking nearby made it easy. Overall, it was a special night for us to celebrate a birthday and for my grandma's last night in town. Thank you to the manager, chef, food runners, bussers, the water attendant, kitchen staff, and valet attendant for accommodating our party of 9! We ordered: Soups & salad: Goi du du Goi bo Large plates: Bo luc lac Mi xao don chay (added shrimp) Ca hoi nuong Specials: Ca chien Saigon Shareable sides: Com chien dac biet Dau que xao Mi tuoi xao bong he Ca Tim nuong We also ordered a few drinks so total with gratuity included: $659.90. This is roughly $74/person read more

The appetizers here are divine especially the ribs and garlic noodles. The main dishes were just okay for me, and overall I found it a bit overpriced. It leans more toward a fusion concept than truly authentic cuisine. I don't think it's worth the price for food unless you're coming for the experience. That said, the service was excellent and the overall experience felt upscale and polished. The ambiance is beautiful, intimate, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The restaurant's history is also really interesting, and the décor definitely caught my eye. I'll let you do your own deep dive when you visit. Parking is paid during certain hours. read more

A very large restaurant offering fine dining Vietnamese-French fusion with a diverse option of dishes. Their beef ravioli was my favorite. The rice noodles were thick and the beef was so flavorful. The chicken cabbage salad with grapefruit was fine but I wouldn't order again. The seabass unfortunately was overcooked so it did not have the flaky texture it was supposed to and instead was tougher but I did enjoy the sauce and garnishing. That was disappointing considering the dish was almost $50. It was my friend's birthday and they brought out a tiny shortbread cookie with piece of a dark chocolate. The service was attentive and quick. read more

I wasn't aware this was one of 7 restaurants around the country. It has the unique feeling and a one of a kind type of place. What a great way of spending my birthday. It has a very upscale feeling so I'm glad I dressed up. Recommend a reservation and make it early if you need to catch a show or movie. We never felt rushed and we made our show down the road with plenty of time. Staff was very kind and made some great recommendations. We started with Chicken Dumplings and our drinks while we continued to decide on our entrees. I like a place that doesn't rush your decisions. I had the roasted salmon which was perfect amount food. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I would definitely go back and order the same thing, read more

I have been to Le Colonial several times for drinks and also Dinner. I loved the location in San Francisco. My last time here was for my birthday @ 6:30 but didn't get seated till 7:10. This location is wildly successful and I am sureit is hard to manage. Thank you for comping us a bottle for the wait ( we did purchase two additional bottles) This Le Colonial us drop dead gorgeous. The dining room and the bar are very hip french Vietnam chic. Food is excellent... great menu. Great wine and cocktail list. Service was fantastic even with the crush of customers. Added bonus that I can walk here from my home I would definitely recommend you make reservations.... Its a wonderfully romantic date night place read more

Such a great fusion of Vietnamese and French food! This upscale dining restaurant and Lounge even has a separate bar area. Definitely not a place that you can just come off the street as it does have a dress code. We came in for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was much busier than expected. Make sure to book a reservation and ask for Grace as your server! She was fantastic with with the recommendations and such a great personality. She told us we should do a small plate and an entrée per person so started off with crispy shrimp and pork roll and pan seared chicken dumplings. I thought for sure I was going to like the dumplings, but the shrimp and pork rolls sauce it came with was so yummy! For large plates we did the shaking beef and half roasted duck. The duck was sweet and tender and cooked perfectly. I didn't realize it was a create your own bao bun situation so that was a pleasant surprise. We had plenty of leftovers and it was even good the next day. I came in to celebrate a promotion and was pleasantly surprised with the congratulations next to the vanilla crème brûlée Grace brought out! Make sure that you save room for a cocktail! My favorite was the Hanoi coffee. It's like they take on an espresso martini. read more

I had such an elegant experience at this new restaurant in Cherry Creek just past Saturday. Ambiance, service, food and location all checked out for this beautiful 5-star review. This is a chain restaurant which started in NY in early 90's. The business had initially struggled to take off but it has eventually become to an entity with 7 locations in the whole country (Denver location being the newest.) But just because it's a chain doesn't mean that you should quickly dismiss it as a good restaurant. Good size menu from small plates to large plates. Great selection of wine (both glass to bottle.) After all, this is a Vietnamese French restaurant that depicts the 1920's era which is perfected in the decors throughout the restaurant. The floor tiles and vibrant red couches and wall art must have been carefully selected to create one of a kind ambiance. Whomever was responsible behind the whole design of it should receive a lot of praise for the work he/she/they had put together everything. Some amazing dishes that are elevated than others Vietnamese restaurants usually offer are what you can expect at this place. Our professional waitress, other workers who came to deliver our drinks and food and the GM, Tiffany, thank you for the hospitality to make my bday celebration so memorable. read more

A really nice place to host a 7 team dinner. Didn't have a chance to take pictures of every dish but every dish was a slam dunk. Our order consisted of 3-4 dishes from each category and was perfect portions for everyone. Got an early spot around 5 on a Monday and the place began to fill up about 6. Great service and definitely had our tastebuds tickled read more

This place is trendy, it's very loud, club music loud inside and people are dressed up, for the most part. We wanted to give it another try to see if the food improved. Definitely grab a drink here and enjoy the people watching. The food is quite bad, it's not authentic and it's not high quality or foodie worthy. We got the vegetable crispy rolls, they were forgettable. The tuna tartar flavor was completely off, it was doused in sauce. The branzino was meh, it was a somewhat small portion for two people to share and we don't eat a lot. The sides weren't good. The green beans we got were also generic and saucy. Where is the chef? There are much better dinner places in the area. read more

Perfect for a date night! The food is delicious and I love the uniqueness of the menu. Ceviche, papaya salad, duck bao buns, all very good! It's nice to order a few side dishes and share a main course. The interior is super cute and there's so much to do in Cherry Creek now. read more

I really don't get the hype--gorgeous interior but mid food and a hefty price tag. Maybe an off night for the kitchen?

Came here last night with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were seated right away and greeted by a very friendly and welcoming server who wished us a happy anniversary. Drinks were fantastic, decor/ambience is great, very romantic. We got the sea bass, which was phenomenal, the crispy shrimp and pork rolls, and the chicken clay pot. All the flavors were great. Very minor complaint that a busser came by and grabbed my cocktail glass while I was in the restroom and there was still about a third of my drink left. They replaced it when my wife alerted our server of the issue, but the bussers were a little too eager with clearing dishes and glassware! We got the pineapple upside down cake for dessert, which was amazing and probably my favorite dish of the meal. I also enjoyed a stellar Vietnamese coffee with it. The dessert was not comped for the occasion, but I know not all upscale places will give a free dessert. Ours was so good that I'd pay for it regardless. Overall a lovely experience, and I will definitely be returning. read more

These places annoy me. It is a place to be seen and the service is extremely slow (I want to give you more money and you won't let me). We went with a group, which is probably the problem - you order as a table and share all these small things. Once you find an amazing bite, that dish is gone. It is loud, but the staff is very nice when you see them. If, big if, I return, I will make it a date night, not group date, try to sit at the bar, then I can focus on a couple things, enjoy the wine and cocktails, and not worry about the general shotgun approach. With all that, each of the plates resonated m, they were thoughtful, and there was something I could say positively about each. read more

The ambience is beautiful and comfortable at the same time. The food was absolutely fantastic... I had the chicken stirfry and it was some of the best chicken I've ever eaten. Having said that, we were seated late by about 40 minutes. We were offered a free dessert for the inconvenience, but learned that it meant one dessert for a table of four to share. read more

The atmosphere and decor here are super cool -- definitely one of the main draws, as it's a standout in the city. From the elegant front atrium dining area, to the white-tablecloth dining room full of tropical plants, to the upbeat bar and lounge area covered with red velvet -- it's all fantastic. The cocktails and mocktails are all creative, fun, and delicious. I'd definitely come back here just to hang out at the cool bar and drink those! The food is great, albeit slightly on the pricier side (but fitting for the restaurant quality and the location). The "ravioli" and dumplings were great as apps -- but the tartare and ceviche felt a little out of place and not our favorites. The oxtail pho broth is amazing -- I wish this was a fuller dish with more meat, because it was so good. The Shaking Beef main was a table favorite, but we were slightly underwhelmed by the Peking duck in comparison to dim sum spots. I'd love to try the whole red snapper next time. read more

Le Colonial is a relatively new French Vietnamese restaurant in a beautiful area of Cherry Creek. I would describe the atmosphere as warm, dark, moody, and romantic. It is definitely a perfect spot to bring a date you are trying to impress. Make sure to dress up! There are two areas in the restaurant: the bar and the porch. Both areas have full kitchen service. I would definitely recommend the porch for a more intimate and quiet setting while the bar has somewhat of a loud and fun atmosphere. My party went for the porch but I would like to go back for some drinks at the bar another time. The food and drinks were all absolutely amazing. I love Vietnamese food and I was a bit concerned that Le Colonial's food would be more fusion than traditional Vietnamese but the Vietnamese people I was with assured me that although the food wasn't completely traditional they did a good job of sticking to the true flavors. In particular, I would recommend the beef salad and the pork ribs. Everything was so good but those two in particular blew me away. The wine that our server recommended was also a great pairing to our food. To wrap this up, our server was also very personable and made sure that we ordered the perfect amount of food, picked good pairings, and had a good time overall. I can't wait to go back and have another amazing experience. read more

I had high expectations for Le Colonial Denver, but the experience was very disappointing from start to finish. We had a reservation for 8:45 PM and weren't seated until around 9:20. No one acknowledged the delay, apologized, or provided any updates we had to ask ourselves what was going on. The only response we received was from the greeter, who said she would inform a manager but couldn't do anything. A gentleman then came over and explained that a party wouldn't leave, but while speaking with us, he was dismissive and distracted, continuing to engage with others instead of addressing our concerns. After being seated, the service didn't improve. No manager came by to check in or address the delay. We placed drink orders, and while waiting to order food, we briefly took photos for a birthday celebration. Around 9:50, our server rushed us to order, stating the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes. We explained we had been waiting on him, but the interaction felt more like pressure than hospitality. Once the food arrived, no one checked on us not once. No follow up, no refills, no effort to ensure everything was okay. The food itself was just okay, but the lack of service completely overshadowed it. I spoke with a manager (I don't recall his name), and the interaction was frustrating. He was defensive, interrupted me, and took no accountability. Another manager, Karen, joined and, while trying to relate, spoke negatively about her own team, which was unprofessional. There was more laughter and deflection than genuine concern. From arrival to departure, the experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. Delays happen, but the lack of communication, poor service, and management response made this an unacceptable experience especially for what is presented as an upscale restaurant. read more

This is one of my fav spots in Cherry Creek. The ambience and decor is super cool with a fun bar area and separate dining area that has a plantation feel. The food is terrific, I especially like the chicken curry, or you can it with tofu which is good too. Also some yum cocktails like their Lychee Martini! The servers are very nice but sometimes the food takes a while to come out, but it's definitely worth the wait. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner and it was popping! We didn't have a reservation but arrived early enough (~5:15) that we were able to score a table - a lovely booth at that, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was impeccable. Plenty of staff bustling about but it didn't feel overwhelming or jam-packed. My water glass was never more than 1/2 full which is basically my love language. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and our food was spaced out perfectly (a perk of ordering all at once). For drinks, my husband had the smoked old fashioned and I went with a mocktail, Saigon Mint Colada. Both were delicious. The OF wasn't cheap ($25) but it was perfect. Next up, food! Family style is the name of the game here. We started with the Sui Cao Chien (Pan seared chicken dumplings) which were satisfying; crispy but not too heavy. For entrees we ordered Cari Ga (Tofu Curry) and beef stir fry which was reminiscent of drunken noodles. They were both super yummy. Highly flavorable, good portions, and the right amount of kick - the beef was melt in your mouth level and just perfect. I would have liked a tad more veggies in the curry, but that's my only recommendation. We also had a side of Do Chu (House Pickled Seasonal Vegetables)... I could eat those every single day and be thrilled. Lastly, we ended with vanilla crème brûlée and guess what? Also amazing. If you couldn't tell, we loved our dinner at Le Colonial. I would be more than happy to return. Everything was top notch and the prices weren't outrageous for the quality, especially considering they are in Cherry Creek North. Zero Proof Review: I'm on a quest to check out all the zero proof, mocktail and n/a beverages that Denver and beyong has to offer. Le Colonial had a few options I had difficulty choosing between, but my Saigon Mint Colada was a winner. Good depth, high quality ingredients (I hate canned pineapple, this was fresh!), and fairly priced. I'm looking forward to trying their Le Diable next time. My only recommendation would be to add in some n/a wines and beer to the mix - especially a bubbly! read more

If Paris and Hanoi threw a dinner party, this restaurant would be the delicious result. Ambience is dim lit with a lot of tall plants. Our server was very attentive and had a lot of great suggestions. The Beef Luc Lac is pure magic--tender, buttery, and perfectly charred that might just make you blush. The chicken dumplings and shrimp crispy rolls are so good they could end family feuds, while the French-Vietnamese ravioli prove that cultural fusion belongs on every plate. As for the pork ribs? They're so tender and flavorful you'll be tempted to gnaw on the bones in public (no judgment here). Oh and our server got us hot towels to clean up after the ribs - just five star treatment overall! Desserts here are the grand finale you didn't know you needed. The tapioca pudding is a creamy, tropical dream, and the pineapple upside-down cake makes you wish every cake came flipped. This place isn't just a meal; it's an edible adventure. Come hungry, leave blissfully stuffed, and don't forget to loosen your belt before dessert--you'll need it. read more

This is such a beautiful bar and restaurant. A friend and I had 5 o'clock reservations and there was a group of people waiting to be seated when we got there because the restaurant part hadn't opened yet. We got a nice table that wasn't next to anyone else, so it felt kind of private. Our server was great. I had a couple of lychee martinis which were delicious and we both enjoyed our food a lot. The only thing that wasn't great for me was that I wanted the beef dish which only comes rare, but they were willing to do medium rare. I would've much preferred medium and not sure why they couldn't do it to my liking. I did recommend this place to someone else and they said it was in their Denver top five. read more

After Le Colonial opened in Cherry Creek North more than a year ago, it has been a popular lunch and dinner spot for many locals. Comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants in town, its French Vietnamese fusion cuisine was certainly more adventurous to foodies used to the more traditional mainstream Vietnamese dishes. The atmosphere and service of the restaurant was a level above most of the Asian restaurants in town. The restaurant did an excellent job replicating the tropical aesthetic feel of Vietnam's French colonial era, from the wooden panel walls, mosaic flooring, lighting, plants, decors and other small details. The servers were dressed in traditional Tang suit uniform and the service was on par with any high end restaurants in town, prompt, dedicated and courteous. The menu appeared to be more pan Asian, but also with many Vietnamese staples. Ordered the crispy shrimp and pork roll for appetizer, shaking beef and chicken curry for entrees and warm chocolate cake and Vietnamese coffee for desserts. The crispy shrimp and pork rolls were quite authentic, aromatic and not as greasy or overdone as some places. The filet minion of the shaking beef was tender, juicy and had steak like taste. The curry chicken used Amish chicken and slightly spicy yellow coconut curry with mango, yam, cashew, eggplant, which matched well and added to the texture of the dish. The warm chocolate cake used the Valrhona Guanaja dark chocolate. The server poured Rum over the cake, placed the ice cream on top of the cake and ignited the liquor, , beside being a spectacle, it also softened alcohol taste while adding depth and flavor to the cake. The Vietnamese drip coffee used the Chicory blend coffee, not as bitter and acerbic as Arabic coffee, matched the condensed milk well and had a smooth smooth taste. Overall, quite impressed with the dinning experience. The restaurant was centrally located in Cherry Creek North, between Second and Third Avenue on Fillmore. read more

If you're looking for a restaurant that combines overpriced mediocrity with the bureaucratic efficiency of the DMV, look no further than La Coloniel! First off, let's talk about the "Captains." Yes, the managers here call themselves Captains, which is ironic because the only thing they seem to be steering is this restaurant straight into the ground. When we were ID'd, these self-appointed maritime overlords couldn't figure out how to read a passport, confidently declaring that the issue date was actually the expiration date. After an extended back-and-forth that felt longer than an international flight, they finally relented and allowed us to purchase a drink--at which point, I almost needed one just to recover. Now, the food. Oh, the food. The beef ravioli was so tough that I'm genuinely concerned it was made from the sole of a hiking boot. It had the texture of something that had been wrestled from a raccoon's clenched jaw. The duck? Saltier than the Dead Sea. I took one bite and immediately felt like I had been stranded on a desert island with nothing but seawater to drink. The name La Coloniel makes sense because the flavors here hint Colon like profiles. Maybe next time, instead of pretending to be captains, the staff should focus on the basics--like seasoning food properly and learning how passports work. Would I return? Only if I wanted to experience culinary and customer service-based gaslighting at its finest. 0/10, but five stars for comedy. read more
