The Scene – Recline beneath a palm tree in a cushy rattan chair and take in the luxurious surroundings, as fringed green lampshades glow with amber light and ceiling fans swirl in slow motion.

Le Colonial...Elegant, Sophisticated and Hip! My Favorite!
by David Childs
The ambiance and French Colonial Decor and combination of colored walls, candle light, white tablecloths, heavy silver and elegant china are complimented by old pre-war photgraphs of another erah in Vietnam. Stunning and tasteful!
The food is a fusion of the most delectable exotic sauces and textures topped off with the best of service. An epicurian delight!
The bar and lounge is a wonderful place to relax and perhaps meet new people who enjoy the same wonderful experiences as you! Beautiful people meet at Le Colonial Bar! FIVE STARS!
- Pros: One of the finest restaurants in the USA!

Great for something different
by ajblue
if you are tired of typical restaurants (the endless debate of Italian or Chinese) this is a great alternative. Good vegetable and meat options with Vietnamese influence. Not 'too' authentic if you want to try a safe dish, but there are also some unique options if you want to be adventurous.
great atmosphere - beautiful dining room with casual outdoor dining option in the summer.
