    French onion soup
    Megan K.

    While the food was tasty, the service could have used some work. Our server was very abrupt, he thought there was only two of us to seat when there were three of us, and had us get up from our table. Only to seat us back at the very same table.... Now I understand things get busy and hectic sometimes, but it could have been handled better. If you're getting the soup, it is very rich.

    This is some solid French food. They brought out some olives and bread before the food. The Italian mussels were a bit too herbaceous but yummy. The beef tartare was a little sweet but enhanced by the tableside salt and mustard. The duck and the steak frites were quite good. We finished with profiteroles that hit the spot. The inside is slightly cramped but great ambience for a date night.

    Since they don't take ressies for small parties we showed up hoping for a table. It was packed but we lucked out with a table outside because someone else decided not to take it. I haven't been here in years and couldn't really remember how the food was and it was good - not amazing but solid French fare. The interior is pretty small and parking is also difficult at prime times (like dinner on a Saturday night). We started with the foie gras terrine and the escargots. I've had better of both but still quite good. My husband got the filet mignon special and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I got the moules Provençale and they were really good - tender mussels not chewy or fishy tasting, the sauce was delicious. The fries were thin and crispy but because we were outside they got cold pretty fast. I love French food, and am always on the lookout for accessible casual French dining. This is definitely a solid choice.

    Well, just dropping by to say that Luc's remains magnifique. Today, I had the best burger ever there. I've had their burger before, so I knew they have a good one, but the one today was outstanding. Get it with Swiss cheese and put lots of Dijon mustard on it. You won't regret it!!

    Today my husband and I had the best lunch at Luc's cafe! We walked in and were immediately transported to a small brasserie in France. My husband is French and kept saying how he felt like he was back home. We could not stop talking about how cozy everything felt. The service was exceptional. We were treated to complimentary olives, bread, and butter, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Every dish we ordered was amazing, but our personal favorites were the steak tartare, cassoulet, French onion soup, and of course the desserts. The flavors in each were amazing and captured the essence of French cuisine perfectly. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. This restaurant not only met but surpassed our expectations. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food.

    I'm worried. I'm worried that we are going to be told We have a limit to how long we can stay. This restaurant is a tradition for us. It is a place of comfort and a meeting ground for us and our dear friends to have important celebratory dinners. The last time we ate here we were told by the owner, we had essentially stayed beyond our welcome, which was an hour and 40 minutes. This is a classic case of overbooking, or simply not managing the reservations properly. We have reservations coming up next weekend and if I hear that again, I won't be going back. And that's sad because we come at least every few months. Nobody wants to be told to get out no matter how kindly and affectionately you say those words. And nobody wants to spend $300 on dinner and here those words we had to rush our coffee and dessert and it really took the shine off of the experience. Especially when the food was so good. Let's do better next time!

    This is my favorite place to go in Ridgefield. Ambience is great, service is perfection, and the food is reliable. I always come back for the tartare appetizer, which is served with a salad. The mussels the last time we went were a bit overcooked, but we ate it anyway. Will I be back? Yes. Many times!!

Ambience is ok- can get a little loud but that just everyone having a good time. Going tonight for our anniversary (didn't forget this year, honey).

    For starters they gave us a menu of drinks and we wanted 2 Stella's on tap he said sorry we have no…read moretap beer but only bottles. Ok well let us know BEFORE you hand us the beer and wine menu. UGH For Tapas YES Fried Calamari was absolutely amazing Fresh, not dry at all with a large bowl and 2 delicious dipping sauces. BUT For Paella Classic for 2 Never again. It was a huge disappointment after our tapas as a warm up. It was served in an iron skillet, nice presentation but much smaller than we thought it should be for 2. It had no moisture at all, the rice and chorizo sausage with chicken bits and shrimp. The shrimp was very disappointing just rubbery and dry. This place has a 4.7 star rating and a great looking Menu. Maybe it's a Ridgefield Connecticut thing to go there for an enjoyable atmosphere. For the food quality it was too expensive comparatively as view on their website. We picked it because of the Great Rating. The head manager/owner was great and the staff was very attentive. We had dessert and coffee the coffee was nice and strong, fantastic but dessert was a version of crème brûlée taste was good Caramelized sugar wasn't there. When the Restaurant manger asked how was everything I had to let him know, he appreciated it and took the coffee off of the bill. We still gave a 20% tip for the great service. Sad to say We won't ever go back
