    We love coming to Reve for date nights and special occasions. The food and service are both fantastic. The Reve salad is super fresh and always hits the spots. The scallops are perfectly cooked and served with a seasonal risotto. The French fries are to die for and the wine list is pretty great. Tonight's Point Reyes Miyagi oysters tasted like they came straight out of the ocean. Thank you, Ryan, for treating us so well.

    Service was good. Restroom pretty clean. Food was delicious. Cocktails were really good--martini was ok. Forgot what drink i ordered two of, but it had cynar and it was really good. First time having sweetbreads and it was delicious. Almost everything was good. The risotto was okay. The pate was pretty fun to eat.

    Wow. Wow wow. Wowowowowow! My wife and I usually like to try places that we can't cook ourselves at home. Reve Bistro was amazing! Most of the menu items I wouldn't be able to cook or spell. And the flavors! So good. We got the Smoked Salmon Oysters to start and they were delicious. Then we got the Pike and rabbit main course dishes; they had great texture with deep flavors and exquisite presentation. The service was amazing by Ryan. He knew the menu forwards and backwards and was super nice. A+ by Ryan. The location is great, and the ambiance was perfect. Reve is easily a top restaurant to visit in California.

    Love Rêve. There's not a lot of French spots in this part of the bay area and I'm so grateful we have this one. I've been here twice now and both times have been great. Booked a res for both times because even on weekdays, this place can get pretty busy. All the staff is rly enthusiastic and my server for my first experience here recognized me on my second visit. They're all rly knowledgable abt the menu and know how to sell you on their specials. The French fries here are to die for, and the truffle on top is mando. The scallop risotto is perfect too. And the beef bourginon is so tender. So excited to try more of the menu and to come back soon.

    Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Reve is located in Lafayette and is featured in the Michelin guide. Parking is available in the paid strip mall lot or on nearby residential streets. There were plenty of very new high end luxury vehicles in and around the restaurant. The clientele skewed towards affluent. Dining is available indoors as well as on the heated patio. The dining room reminded me of Paris, with a few less tables and chairs. Started off with the mussels and snails for appetizers. Both were excellent, including their truffle fries. Had their cassoulet which was gigantic and featured tons of very tender meats and beans! Opted for the beef cheeks as the entree and the beef cheeks were extremely tender served over a bed of spatzle. For dessert, opted for the pear pie which was decent. Service throughout the meal was decent.

    This place has the service that is missing in the Bay Area. Informed, on point. Very delicious and authentic French cuisine with some fun thrown in. Dry January wah wah.... So I did have onion soup and Moules Frites. My husband ate the frites He had coq au vin and I stole a bite. Really good I'm going back for the beef with cauliflower and spatzle - seems Alsatian and I'm here for it. Good attention to detail He had a few good cocktails Oh he said "This is the best Manhattan I've ever had"

    We had a wonderful first experience here a couple months ago for our anniversary. The ambiance is very warm and inviting. We made a reservation for an indoor table but the outdoor patio is so cute. When we arrived, they placed a card on the table wishing us a happy 4th anniversary, which was very nice. Arlene was our server and she was very friendly and helpful. The food was not only presented beautifully but prepared, seasoned and cooked very well. The French fries are the best and a must-try if you are a fry enthusiast like me! This restaurant is so impressive without being pretentious. A true gem in Lafayette!

    I'm excited to write this review! First, wisdom says don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant is on the corner of a strip mall with other restaurants. Expectations were tempered . But through the doors you are transported to a wonderful and tasty experience. The ambiance was terrific!!! Loved all of it. Our server Sophie was friendly and helpful as we made our way through the French menu. We chose two glasses of red wine, of course.....and dined on the scallops and Chicken coq au vin. Both delicious and highly recommended. We had a lovely date night!!

    What a meal! We ventured out midweek and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Excellent service, chill, sit back & welcome to the table vibes. Escargots -4outta5 I loved the presentation, so much so that I took the shells home. I loved them but I could've used a bit more garlic & herbs. SOUPE A L'OIGNON GRATINEE -5outta5 I'm not a big fan of onion soup but this French Onion Soup was savory & absolutely delicious. I wanted to finish it for her so bad. HUÎTRES DU JOUR -4outta5 Salty, ocean explosion on the tongue. The mignonette didn't compliment them well imo. Cold Brew Espresso Martini -5outta5 Delicious libation. Imagine a liquid s'more... I opted for the LE BIB GOURMAND -Three Course "classic" French dinner. Salade Reve -5outta5 The lemon thyme vinaigrette should be bottled! Fresh & excellent starter. COQ AU VIN -5outta5 Umm, I cleaned my plate. It was fork tender and full of flavor. I wanted to smack the table it was so good! Trio of deserts -3outta5 Not as fresh, moist, flavorful or climactic as I expected. Wonderful experience! #GoTaste&See

    We had lunch at Rêve on June 5th, their first lunch service. The fix menu included a Rêve salad that was delicious with a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Salad was followed by Steak Frites served family style and cooked to perfection. Dessert was choice of coffee or profiterole. Oh yum we enjoyed the profiteroles. We also enjoyed champagne with our meal. It was a beautiful day in the patio. The service was, as usual, top notch!

    To begin, I think Victoria is the most down to earth employee ever. I love her ability to match your energy - you want casual? She gives you casual. Sterility? She can be that too. She's so adaptable with her environment, it's really refreshing. I love being around somebody that knows their audience and how to interact. We were super casual and she gave us just that. I would return to this establishment, simply for her company. So - the food. Honestly. Pretty mid. I started with the half bottle of Sancerre which was incredible. Loved it. Paired the bottle with the dessert (yes, I said dessert) fromage because I wanted something savory to pair with my wine plus the olives (INCREDIBLE) and the gougeres (I can see the hype, but mid for me). We then moved onto both salads - I loved the savoriness of the rêve salad and the acidity of the nectarine salad. I would recommend both depending on your palate preference that day. Unfortunately, the tip off begins here - we got the special of the day which was duck breast. It was supposed to be cooked medium rare and h fortunately it was medium in some areas and well done in others. I'm feeling generous enough to chalk the inconsistencies up to it being such a hot day and hard to regulate the kitchen temperate. Additionally, we ordered the steak frites, which was also cooked beyond our desired meat temperature. They both had the potential to be so good and it was disappointing that the temperature is what threw the dish. Lastly, we finished with the dessert trio and creme brûlée. I LOVED THE CRÈME BRÛLÉE! It was perfectly sweet with an incredible texture. So, so good and well paired with a cappuccino. The dessert trio was also great - opera cake was nice and light, the fruit pairing was raspberry (which I love), and the apricot tart was something I would enjoy on any given day. All in all, the establishment was worth the experience. I'm hoping the hiccup with main dish temperatures was related to the ambient air, I will give this place another go and see if it can exceed my expectations a second time.

    Réve was the perfect place to celebrate a special family birthday. The outdoor patio was gorgeous with lush greenery and featured live musicians playing soft background music. The service was warm and non-pretentious with items arriving in well-paced succession. Most importantly, food and wine were all wonderful to the point where I already wish I could repeat the entire meal. We shared Gougeres (French cheese puffs), Artichoke Spinach Dip with Olive bread, and French Onion Soup to start the meal, along with their amazing basket of complimentary French bread with butter. For an entree, I ordered their Sole Filet Meuniére, cooked to flaky perfection and served with sautéed Chanterelle mushrooms, creamy mashed potatoes, and a delicate crab-stuffed zucchini half. Réve isn't exactly cheap but worth every penny. I'm already thinking of excuses to return soon.

    Amazing and authentic French food! Although Reve Bistro is located in a tiny strip mall, tucked away in the corner, it is definitely a restaurant to visit often for dates nights or even just occasionally for special evenings. We truly enjoyed every bite at Reve! The fries are delicious - perfectly crispy on the outside and warm mushiness on the inside like mashed potatoes!! Wow! They serve freshly baked bread with butter on the house. We had the Reve Salad, Artichoke Dip with Olive bread, onion soup, steak frites (extra fries!!), scallops with mushroom risotto - every single dish was so good! The fresh crisp salad seemed too beautiful to eat, and it tasted even better. The dip was obviously made of artichokes without it being too heavy on the cheese. The onion soup broth was warm and comforting. The steak was perfectly cooked medium and the fries, of course, we can't stop talking about! The scallops were my favorite and the risotto really hit the spot! Even the house Bordeaux (chateau de landiras graves 2020) was delicious - it really accommodated our whole dinner, especially the beef and scallops! We'll definitely be back quite often because we truly appreciate good food! We recommend being seated outside because it's so much more romantic and feels like we're in France being surrounded by the garden (of course the tents were up during winter to protect guests from the cold). We can't wait to come back with the kids!

    I had hoped that what I read from a 1-star Yelp review about having reservations, then finding out…read morethis restaurant is closed, was only a rare occasion. I did not even think to alert my friends about what I read because I thought after reading other Yelp reviews and looking up their Instagram posts with beautiful photos and people looking like they were enjoying this restaurant, that what was described in that 1-star review must have been a rare occurrence. Boy was I wrong because to my dismay when we arrived at their restaurant door last evening, it happened to us and I did not want to believe it, but all the evidence was there to show they were in fact, CLOSED. Two other customers and our group arrived at the same time in advance of our 6pm reservation time, only to see their door closed, lights off, with nobody inside. We were confused not only because we did not receive a message notifying us that their restaurant would be closed and our reservation needed to be canceled, but also because the customers who arrived when we did said they had booked their reservation yesterday, meaning the reservation system was still active. What's more is we did not see any signage on their door or windows about being closed, but instead we saw an EBMUD notice on the door stating water service payment was overdue, which we were not expecting to see upon our arrival. Our group needed to quickly figure out a plan B for our birthday celebration dinner, as our friend had planned and reserved The Library Social Club over a month ago. I dine at many restaurants and any time there needs to be a change or cancelation for any reason by a restaurant business, I have received an e-mail, a text, or a phone call alert, as a customer courtesy call, and I have at the very least, even seen hand written notes on restaurant doors and windows as signage alerting customers of their business being closed. Needless to say, we were disappointed and frustrated by this incident today. We drove from out of town to try this restaurant that was not even open when customers had reservations. Fortunately, our friend proposed a different restaurant that we could walk to and they sat us promptly upon arrival. We enjoyed their delicious food instead!

    Had an okay visit to The Library Social club today. The décor was cohesive--the theme is akin to…read moredark academia with rich paint colors on the walls, animal skulls and of course, tons of books. The seating options were disappointing as the benches along the wall had no cushioning and the couch we selected instead had flat, sinking cushions. The music was too loud for reasonable discussion with my friend, though the server did lower the volume at my request. I had a tasty flight of sparkling wines and the server gave a speedy, short introduction to the pours. My largest disappointment came with the arrival of the check. Despite signage outside the establishment that implied the opposite, I was informed that wine flights were *not* included in happy hour pricing. I found the messaging exceedingly unclear, and of course, there's no mention of happy hour on the menu nor did the server share the happy hour options when we were seated. It was a disheartening end to a midling experience up until that point. It's not that this place is terrible, it's just not that good and in this economy, that is a must. I will not be returning.
