The Scene – In this gracious room in downtown Wheaton, orchids float in martini glasses, and bamboo placemats rest on tables of polished granite. The atmosphere is hushed but comfortable and casual; soften the lights a bit, and it'd be a great date place. – – The Food – L'Anne's French-Vietnamese fusion fare is the real thing--delicate, subtle, and beautifully presented. Fresh soybeans are scattered carefully around a maki roll of Alaskan snow crab; perfect citrus-dusted scallops are graced with a colorful pile of shredded papaya.

L'Anne was excellent, foods were beautiful & delicious, service was wonderful, music recorded and live very nice
by jtkenny
First experience, wonderful restaurant. Three course dinner menu represented French and Asian foods very nicely, with a leaning toward Asian. The fresh seafood entree speicials should not be overlooked. Wine selections were not extensive but well representative and included ranges of very nice wines.. The chef's selection of desserts in the Sweet Trio is not to be missed and goes very well with a Navan aperitif. People who do not like L'Anne probably do not like Charlie Trotter's as well.
- Pros: Ambience, Service, Romantic
- Cons: Parking is a bit tricky.

Maybe the Best
by b12751
Had lunch here today. Perhaps the finest dining experience I have had in a long time. My wife and I like to eat downtown because of the lack of quality and value in the suburbs, but then came L'Anne.
The chef is very modest, but he has worked with the best and the food shows it.
I thought the portion sizes were fine. If you enjoy quality food pairings then this is the restaurant for you.
On Friday and Saturday evenings the ivories are tickled on the piano.
Valuation superb with dinner entrees $12- $25.
What nice owners - they really care about their art. A rare find today.
- Pros: Food Pairings
- Cons: Couldn't find one

BAD MANAGEMENT/OWNER
by uptowngurl
I was utterly shocked when I went to this restaurant about a month ago...the wine that we ordered, was opened at the bar by the manager. And then she tastes it! On top of that, the server accidently poors it to the wrong table...I can go on, but I have NEVER been to a fine dining restaurant, or anywhere, where the wine bottles purchased by the customer is not opened in front of the customer. Food was below average, salty, and not impressive. I would not recommend going here.
