The 14 Best New Restaurants in Palm Beach County

"Step into the 1920s Saigon at a new restaurant on East Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, where the ambiance complements Vietnamese and French-inspired cuisine. Amid wicker chairs, Art Deco tables, and tropical greenery, guests can enjoy dishes like a Vietnamese chicken and cabbage salad with lemongrass, grapefruit, peanuts, and a sweet chili garlic vinaigrette. The crispy South Florida red snapper, a shareable dish carved tableside and served with greens, dill, pickles, and a garlic chili lime sauce, is a highlight. Vintage glamour in the dining room means there is a dress code, best to swap the exercise gear for more glamorous apparel." - J. Miller

Best Road Trip Restaurants From Miami, Florida | Eater Miami

"This French-Vietnamese is the first outpost in Florida (others include Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and Lake Forest). Dark mahogany wood and foliage create a sultry that provides an intimate and alluring ambiance. Sip on a pomegranate martini or pineapple margarita and enjoy crispy South Florida yellowtail snapper, carved tableside, or Canh Chua Crudo—red grouper seasoned with Vietnamese tamarind sour. Meat lovers will enjoy the Bo Luc Lac, caramelized filet mignon, or Bahn Uot, grilled sesame beef rolled in flat rice noodles, cucumber, lettuce, basil, and lime garlic sauce." - Alona Martinez

Food was absolutely delicious . The shared plates are the winners here. Exploding with flavor. Egg rolls were a must ! Traditional Thai dishes that were authentic and true to the heritage . main dishes are bit pricey but the tender beef was worth it. Drinks were unique but mostly gin forward which is not my personal go to Service was very attentive and courteous. The ambiance was impressive but we were seated in what felt like a an entry way to the exterior . Maybe not over tabled but the decor overall was very chic and appropriate. The vibe in the bar area was very cool and live music entertaining

WOW my wife dragged me in, and I am so thankful for the wonderful wife I have! 😀 The Colonial was fantastic!!! I was not expecting to be that good. The Bouillabaisse dish is phenomenal. The Golden Sunrise drink was perfect and make sure you leave room for dessert (tapioca was my favorite). Really original and delicious food. To top it all off the service was the BEST! Daniel, our waiter was fantastic. He elevated the experience! Thank you

This is my spot!!!!! The ambiance is amazing. Clean and very well decorated restaurant. The service is always on point. Cameron and Daniel best servers! They have those million dollar smiles. Now the food….. wow wow wow. Spring rolls, anything rolled up in this restaurant is amazing! Well done! The clay pot chicken is so good! The ceviche & the tuna tartar both very worth appetizers! The shaking beef is my favorite dish. The boulabasse is a winner too! Brussels sprouts were amazing too. I can go on and on. CHEF HAROL IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST IN THE KITCHEN! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAN! DEL RAY IS BLESSED WITH THIS GEM OF A RESTAURANT. They are running a tight ship there and providing quality in every area! I still have a lot to try!!! WILL BE BACK SOON. this is one of my favorite date spots.

My wife and I are not familiar with upscale Vietnamese food. Our waiter was patient and eager to go through the menu with us. Each dish was great with unique savory ingredients. Topped off by an elegant interior and very cool looking bar area. A winner. Gotta say it, “Great place for a date night!”

I have mixed feelings about this location. While the atmosphere is beautiful and perfect for cocktails, it’s definitely not our go-to. Nestled in a beach town, they hound down on dress code, with the staff reminding you in the most un-polite ways. Having come here on numerous occasions, I am never left satisfied. Of course you can’t go wrong with the Shaking Beef and Garlic Noodles, I am still patiently, yet eagerly, waiting for their roasted duck to appear on the menu. They’ve said it was supposed to arrive about 6 months after opening to train new chefs on their Vietnamese cuisine, but now we’re in Q4 of 2024 and there no sign. Unfortunately I believe this location falls short of the true Le Colonial brand.

The food was spectacular! the red snapper was off the charts good! The shaking beef is great! For the appetizers the crispy veggie rolls were excellent. The fried rice is great as a side. The ambiance was great and our waiter, Cameron, was amazing for a table of five. He was very attentive and made the best recommendations!

One of my new favorite restaurants in Delray! It’s absolutely gorgeous, great food and atmosphere. Fun drinks too! We had my Mom’s birthday dinner here. Loved everything we tried but especially the dumplings, shrimp spring rolls, and curry chicken. For sides, make sure you get the Brussels sprouts and garlic noodles! We will definitely be back, perfect for a date night or special occasion.

Six of us had an early dinner on July fourth. Food, drinks ,atmosphere and service were all excellent ! This is such a good place, Food was tasty, portions were large and reasonably priced. Their stir fried chicken, shrimp and beef, as well as the string beans with garlic were delicious !..our server was very professional, polite and made some good suggestions The warm chocolate cake topped with ice cream and flamed was a nice way to end our meal. They have live music on Fridays which was a good way to celebrate our Independence Day.

Loved this amazing spot in Delray. The ambience was amazing. Beautiful paintings and wicker furniture throughout the restaurant. We had a handful of appetizers including soft spring rolls, the beef wontons, and papaya salad. All were flavored perfectly and delicious. For the entree we had the shaking beef and seabass. The beef was so tender and the the seabass perfectly cooked

Good food good service. Larger portions as well which never hurts! Everything i had was good, however as someone who's been to Vietnam and fell in love with the food, the flavors weren't quite there. But it's good for south Florida and if you want a fancy / chic restaurant to experience the cuisine.

I'm quite surprised on the low rating of this place. The food quality is exceptional. Flavors are dynamic, good use of heat, and a wide selection of dishes to choose from. They have a good selection of drinks including mocktails. I enjoyed the pomegranate ginger. We all devoured the mushroom and chicken Ravoli starter, papaya salad, and I enjoyed the shrimp rolls to start. The stir fry dishes were good, and the curry excellent. Our waitress was professional and efficient. Sitting outside, it's nice but a little tight (people close to each other). The tables are on the smaller side, it barely fit our food. One challenge when sitting outside, was a surprise when a homeless guy walked in and was trying to get everyone's attention. The waitress eventually ushered him out in a kind way. Other than that, a great time! Definitely would recommend and return.

High price, low value! I was unimpressed with every dish. The decor is gorgeous, no question about that. If this $400+ meal was $150, I wouldn't have felt so violated. The snapper was $100. The server fileted it tableside and talked the entire time. I could see his spit land on the fish. There was nothing special about the preparation. I've had whole snapper in many places for a fraction of the price that were more tasty. The apps were ok, but did not resemble anything I recall being Vietnamese. It's yuppified and you pay for that. The shrimp ceviche was terrible. A $25 boring run-of-the-mill martini? No thanks. Oh, and I asked for the jasmine rice to be substituted for the coconut rice. The portion they served was for one even though the snapper was intended for 2. They upcharged me $8. The food came out very fast! They push you so they have more turnover. I will never return.

This was my second dine at Le Colonial, and in some respects, I was less impressed than the first. I'm not fully down on the restaurant, but experienced a meal which was somewhat amateurishly "presented", an expression that they use to describe the Le Colonial "experience". Our server, "N", was sweet, but not engaged in servicing our table after she took the order. And her explanations of some of the dishes were not what we got to eat. Now to the food, the appetizers of cha gio and chicken dumplings were outstanding. No doubt that I WOULD ORDER THOSE AGAIN. Two of the three main plates were disappointing, very disappointing. The chicken curry had a scant amount of chicken, and the vegetables were soft. THE CURRY WAS NOT MILD, AS i requested, and its flavor overwhelmed the dish, although as stated, there was little chicken to overwhelm. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, even if a curry lover. THE GREEN SHRIMP CURRY was equally disappointing. THE SHRIMP WERE SMALLISH, TOUGH TO EAT, much chewing required AND AGAIN THE CURRY overwhelmed the dish. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AND WOULD NOT RE-ORDER, ESPECIALLY at $35. The stand-out hit was the BRONZINO. A WHOLE FISH, filet in the kitchen, after being shown to us table-side. IT WAS MEATY, TASTY, COOKED TO PERFECTION, AND EVEN AT $57, would be my reason to return. Two people can easily share the bronzino, two appetizers, and one dessert, and be quite satisfied. THE MARTINIS WERE WELL MADE, AND THE BAR SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR their perfect mixology. AND RETURNING TO SERVICE, i had to ask for a bowl for the bones in the bronzino, and the banana wrapper for the sticky rice. When it did not come, i put the bon es and banana leaf on the table, which was unappealing, for sure. The host or perhaps the manager on duty at the entry upon arrival and departure was abrupt, no smile or half a smile, made no eye contact, While their role is not to entertain guests arrival but perhaps a bit of a welcome or good night when you depart? And let me not forget, when making the reservation on Open Tab;e I specified that one of the diners was having her 80th birthday, and when calling the afternoon of our reservation I was told that they had a note in the reservation about the birthday, and a candle would be placed in whatever dessert we ordered and the plate would be chilled, with Happy Birthday. Well, none of that happened. Some break in communications between the staff. Disappointing "performance on their behalf." Would I return? YES. But with much lower expectations and a better idea of the menu.

New Year's Eve dinner, December 31, 2024. The food was excellent and is why I'm giving 5 stars. That said, the first thing I noticed after being seated at the corner round booth (very lucky) was our server apologizing and making excuses to a nearby table for the long wait times in between courses. He was saying how they were training staff and I could tell the customers weren't too thrilled. It did take a while for our drinks to arrive, and the wait times felt too long. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful. For NYE, there were dozens upon dozens of gold and white balloons on strings at the ceiling. A four piece Cuban band was setting up as we walked from the bar to our table. The menu was prix fixe but didn't feel like there was a limited selection - there were many appetizers and mains to choose from. The hamachi crudo was excellent, as were the dumplings. For mains, the shaking beef was excellent, as were the short ribs. They added a 20% gratuity. To Yelp: I can't upload my photos. Pretty annoying.

The crispy red snapper is a fun experience as they bring the entire fish out the table on a platter and fillet and debone it in front of you. And it's quite good, so it's not just for show. If you're feeling fancy, you can eat indoors, and if you're feeling more casual, you can eat outdoors.

The atmosphere is beautiful , which isn't always easy to find in South Florida. The staff was very friendly and while other review mentions around wait times, I can't say we had a similar problem. Drinks and food all came out at an appropriate speed however I do which they were coursed out a bit more. The food was mostly fabulous all around - I highly recommend the salmon, beef ravioli (which is definitly a Thai spin), and the cabbage salad.

I recently took advantage of the summer pre-fix menu at Le Colonial- such a fantastic deal at just $35 for an appetizer and entrée! For starters, I recommend the Crispy Shrimp & Pork Roll served with fresh lettuce wrap. It was a perfect blend of crunch and flavor. For my entrée, I tried the Miso Glazed Salmon which was incredibly tender and flavorful. My husband had the Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry that had a perfect balance of heat and depth. The atmosphere was glam, romantic, and elegant - an ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. The reason for 4 stars is the service and cocktails. The cocktails were overpriced and I didn't enjoy the flavors of any of them. This restaurant feels like high end dining but our server was extremely unprofessional.

Phenomenal restaurant with incredible dishes and service. Came on a Friday night with reservations - they book up so make sure to reserve in advance! It's a smaller menu but our waitress was extremely knowledgeable on nearly every dish. Cocktails were delish, and they were a lot of interesting flavors. I got the Le Colonial and it was boozy but easy to sip and very tasty. For apps we got the beet salad, spring rolls, and chicken ravioli. Everything was very fresh and tasty, plus they can be made to order in case you have any allergies. The chicken ravioli is a plate of 3 and very unique - great flavors and a nice sauce. Highly recommend. For my entree I got the bass and it was in an insanely delicious sauce - highly recommend this. My only suggestion would be to serve this with some type of rice, noodle, or bread, to soak up to more of the sauce! The restaurant itself is gorgeous with nice decorations and has a separate bar area. Staff was constantly filling our waters and brought us new plates/cutlery after appetizers. Food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time and we were never waiting for a server. Overall a truly perfect dining experience, other restaurants should take note!

We parked our car in the garage underneath the restaurant & stepped into the French Colonial era of Vietnam. The ambience was enthralling; decorated in the period with the staff was in costume. This famed Vietnamese cuisine is reminiscent of Saigon in the 1920s. The flowers, art, palms, large bar and many dining rooms of all sizes were captivating, Since I live & love to travel & haven't been to Vietnam yet, this was perfect! In 1993, Le Colonial opened as a glamorous upscale hotspot in Manhattan. Le Colonial is now in Atlanta, Naples, Colorado, Houston & most recently in Delray Beach. I am happy to see that there is a dress code, I followed suit in the Asian theme. We made reservations 3 weeks in advance and met another couple for dinner. Small plates, large plates, shareable plates & their signature crispy red snapper for two. Everything looked delicious from the exotic cocktails to the delectable desserts! Service was impeccable Ronaldo our waiter took very good care of us. Bottles of wine under $100 were half price so we started with a delicious bottle of French rosé brut. As an appetizer we shared the rice paper meat ravioli saturated in Asian flavors that were amazing. My entrée was the halibut, my husband enjoyed his filet mignon, and our friends, the shrimp and salmon entrées. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Fried rice & Japanese eggplant Shareables were a perfect accompaniment. The desserts and exotic cocktails looked wonderful, but we were too full to have anything else. This is not the regular South Florida dining experience and I can't wait to come back again.

Some places I wish I could give a rating greater than 5. This is one of them. The ambience is awesome! It reminds you of Southeast Asia back in the late 40s early 50s and before. The offerings are small plates for sharing or large entrees. I am not a big fan of Vietnamese food but the food here is real good and tasty. Our waiter Renauldo was on point with his recommendations. He said we would like their filet mignon and we certainly did. There was a special where bottles of wine that are less than $100 are half price. We shared a bottle of French rosé brut. For an appetizer we shared the rice paper meat ravioli saturated in Asian flavors that were amazing. Go for it. You will be glad you did! Their filet mignon also was very tasty. Fried rice & Japanese eggplant also real good! Pricy but worth it!

How this place does not have a 4+ star shocks me! Great fluid service, unique and special environment, plus delicious food. We went for nye price fix and despite the steady crowd the food and drinks came timely. The food was a mix of regular star dishes and specials. Highlights were the spring rolls, chicken gyoza, and the chicken curry. Spring rolls were thick and crispy. Chicken curry was perfectly spicy and served with rice. Ended with chocolate mousse and fresh gelato. Inside is unique with various rooms which make it feel intimate and special. Put this on your must try list.

We are regulars at Le Colonial in Chicago and it is one of our favorite restaurants. When this location opened last year, we were one of the first to visit and the food and the ambience were amazing. Our meal tonight had amazing food, beautiful setting, but really pathetic service. I was debating what number of stars to leave because I didn't want to impact my review of the restaurant, but I will not be coming back to this location. Our waiter was very nice but forgetful and his support staff was nonexistent. They served every course, appetizers, dinner, and dessert without giving us plates or silverware each time. They even neglected to bring out a wine glass when they brought out the wine. Lastly, when we ordered a cappuccino with our dessert, it never came. It was almost as if the waiter just avoided looking at our table the entire night. They automatically add a 20% gratuity on the bill, which was egregious for the level of service that we received. I am fortunate that I get to go back to the location in Chicago.

This restaurant has it all! Great food and service. Plus the ambiance is perfect for special occasions and even business discussions. Conversation can be had unlike many of the restaurants where you have to shout to be heard. My wife and I shared the branzino and it was delicious. Every appetizer was excellent. Le Colonial is a bit pricey but well worth it.

We were 3 couples all celebrating our June anniversaries here at Le Colonial. It was the first time here for all of us. What an awesome place this was. It's in downtown Delray Beach and thankfully there was valet parking in the garage. Your ticket should be validated by the restaurant. The decor felt like I was in Casablanca - so chic and romantic. It was the perfect place to celebrate. Schlomo was our wonderful waiter. He went through the entrees with us giving us his recommendations. He was spot on with his insights. We first had drinks and appetizers to start. Paul and I shared the ribs. There were 4 very tasty and meaty ribs in a delicious sauce. Others had the shrimp rolls served with a peanut sauce. It was so fresh and delicious. Another small plate ordered was the beef ravioli. All the appetizers were a hit For my main dish I had the chef's signature dish which was the halibut. Honestly, it was probably one of the best cooked halibut entrees I ever ate. It was so light and flakey. It did not come with a side so I had to order a large Jasmine rice. It was the priciest entree on the menu The others ordered short ribs- a very popular entree , and curry chicken. Now the best part - dessert. We had the La Noix de Coco which was absolutely incredible. You'll have to go there to experience that exquisite treat. Now we were all surprised because to our delight Schlomo brought over a vanilla Crème Brûlée as his treat. We all loved our anniversary celebration here at Le Colonial and look forward to future visits.

DO NOT GO HERE (UNLESS YOU WANT TO END UP IN THE HOSPITAL) My wife's spring roll had a large metal bolt in it. She could've ended up in the hospital if she hadn't noticed and spat it out. The manager casually said "oh I'm sorry, can I get you anything else?" Then offered to comp our appetizers. When we told him if we were going to stay our entrees should be comped as well he declined. Luckily it was not a child or an elderly person whose food this ended up in. Shameful, disrespectful and dangerous.

Update--food is still really good, but I fear they are under staffed. If a party is neglected, made to wait an inordinate amount of time for entrees and resorts to getting up to locate and pour their wine--you are understaffed. We watched our waiter handle tables inside and out and try . . . . But we felt neglected. Note to management: when this happens, train your servers to offer up something (perhaps a dessert to share). It would have helped. It was great food, but a sub par experience. Too bad.

The entire main course was very disappointing, ordered the duck, fatty & Luke warm, tub Tim Thai's duck is 100 pct better. Also ordered steak & noodles, too sweet & nothing special, could have done better myself. Overall won't go back, the desert was supposed to be warm chocolate cake, well it was frozen in the middle. Another disappointment. What a shame!!!

Great food great service great ambiance Valet parking is around the corner and a short walk to the restaurant and cost about $15. We had a 7:30 pm reservation and we were seated right away. My friend had been there only once before. They greeted him like he was family. The golden sunrise cocktail is delicious We had multiple appetizers as our dinner The yellow tail tuna was delicious and my favorite the shrimp and pork appetizer was a wow. The beef ravioli was amazing Looking forward to a return visit

Our party of 6 enjoyed a girls' night out celebrating a special birthday. We had an 8:00 reservation and they took us as soon as our party was complete. Le Colonial is new to Delray Beach but there are other locations including Chicago and Houston with others coming soon. Drinks, including lychee martini, smoky old fashion and the the spicy margarita we all hits. The cuisine is French Vietnamese, and all items were prepared and presented perfectly. We ordered several starters for the table and our entrées included, spicy chicken, salmon and Vietnamese seafood, bouillabaisse. We ate everything. Many ingredients are locally sourced. Our desserts included the crème brûlée, which was a treat from our waiter and the chocolate cake flambéed with rum. Wait staff could not sing happy birthday, but did not stop us from singing and celebrating. Serving sizes and prices were as expected for the location. Service was professional and attentive.

This might be the best meal we've had in this area! From the very start until we exited the restaurant everything about our experience was absolutely fabulous. Mynhusband and i shared the beef ravioli (not at anything that you'd expect), the lotus salad with the shrimp and the crispy whole red snapper (which a server expertly filleted for us tableside). We so happily stuffed we were sad we just couldn't try a dessert. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was that of a very special date night - but don't wait for that. It's not an easy reservation to get but just try to get one and go! We will definitely be back!

Excellent service from Korey and Larry. We had the pork/shrimp rolls and tuna tartare as an appetizer, followed by the shaking beef, fried rice, and the bronzino which were all excellent. Love the ambiance here in the dining area and the bar area. Ambiance is similar to the flamingo at the Boca Raton. Dessert wasn't great and hoping they add more to their dessert menu. Overall service and food and ambiance was excellent

I was very excited to try Le Colonial. It was highly recommended. The place is beautiful and the ambience is great. We started with the beef raviolis, the tuna tartar and the egg rolls. Presentation was beautiful but everything lacked flavor and spice. It's as if the flavors were toned down for the Florida crowds. For our main course we ordered chicken curry and shaking beef. I liked the chicken curry but the shaking beef was lacking flavor. The service was very bad. Our female served forgot about our table. We had to flag her down to get water and wine we had ordered. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was overcooked. Sadly we didn't behave a good experience for a very pricey dinner.

Had called restaurant asked if Valet Parking was available? Arrived there wasn't ANY! The manager was aloof,rude & said some would be there in minutes. Waited 10 minutes, no one there.We had 2 people that have disabilities. Seated,ordered food,not really French Vietnamese,Chinese take-out like. Wait staff sweet, but not the caliber for a restaurant charging exorbitant pricing! Just another chain. The best part was the decore.

Le Colonial has a wonderful vibe! Loved the ambience and atmosphere. Very cool tropical lively setting. Had a drink in the bar while we waited for our table, our server was lovely and very knowledgeable of the drink menu. We sat outside on the terrace and it was beautiful. Our food was very good however our waiter was not really the best. Who knows maybe he was having an off night, wouldn't hold it against him. I would return and really enjoyed our evening.

My daughter wanted to take me to an upscale restaurant in Delray. She called and made a reservation for 2. On the day of, she called to be sure dogs were allowed outside. The answer was yes. When we arrived, a very rude, arrogant man behind the hostess desk told us we were wrong . NO DOGS . Disappointed, I asked him to check our reservation for outside. He adamantly and rudely stated. "No, I am not checking anything. It is a law in Delray that no dogs are allowed, period". He is a liar. Dogs are permitted outside for dining in Delray.Of course we then had dinner outside WITH our 12# dog at a far better restaurant. If you love dogs, do t bother with this place.

I wish there were more restaurants like Le Colonial, which are chic and delicious. Le Colonial is a French-Vietnamese restaurant both in decor and cuisine. We were four lifelong friends celebrating several things, but mostly gratitude for each other, and this meal, from start to finish, fit right into our mood. We sat outside at what we felt was a "too-small for 4" table to our liking, but so what? We wanted to move, but the place was packed, and we decided to go with the flow without any complaints. Our server guided us through the menu and how to order. We had the pork and shrimp crispy spring rolls, the 'ravioli,' and the pan-fried dumplings to share. This could have been our entire meal. The portions were more than generous. Nothing was greasy. The fry chef is on their game. Mains were fried rice (I want to devour this dish daily), Shekin beef (perfectly cooked, tender pieces of seasoned beef served with the appropriate Vietnamese pickled cucumber), and the Faroe Island salmon in a lemongrass coconut sauce. We ordered too much, but we ate through our walls of pain. Yes, we were loud. Yes, we drank many deftly prepared (and generously poured) lychee martinis and superb Cosmo's. Yes, the table next to us wished they were sitting somewhere else, but we were so happy to be together, enjoying this spectacular experience. Vivez la vie pleinement! Is Le Colonial pricey? Yes. But this is a place where you don't feel taken. Rather, you feel taken away.

My wife and I had an incredible meal here tonight. Starting with the crispy egg roll and spare rib appetizers. The spicy chicken entree and shaking beef dish were fantastic. We will definitely be back. My one complaint was the ridiculous 6 oz. House wine pour for $18.

This is the most elegant place in a way that's vibey and classy - food is always beyond exceptional and service never fails to be above par.

I wandered in here alone not expecting to get to have a meal. The bar was packed. The hostess saw me looking around and offered me a cocktail table outside where they prefer you order off the small bites menu- perfect for me. The ceviche was excellent, but beware of the spice level- it was HOT! The chicken dumplings with black vinegar were very tasty and perfectly pan fried. The restaurant itself has a sexy, sophisticated vibe and the service was top notch. I will definitely be back.

Amazing !!! We had a very large party walk in and ask for seating about 12-14 of us. They accommodated as much as they could. The party was too large for their back room but we took turns coming in and out between the bar and our table. The service was exceptional our server was so patient and gave great suggestions. That first bite of food you can taste the quality, the care and the intentional flavors. I had the salmon and it was cooked to perfection I never had a salmon cooked exactly how I like until I came here. A lot of places on the ave price gauge because they can and the quality is sh*t, this is NOT one of those places. You pay for quality here. And get the spice cucumber margarita

The food here is great if you enjoy Vietnamese food. The ambiance is amazing. We went on a weekend for a date night and there was a live pianist plus the low lighting made it a perfect date night. The service was okay, but you could tell they were rushing us to get another party in since they were so busy.

I've been here several times now. Always a positive experience. Food is great. Highly recommend. Also loved the atmosphere and outdoor patio off of Atlantic Avenue.

I had been to the location in buckhead and had a terrible experience so I was weary when they opened in Delray but I came for Christmas dinner and was super satisfied with my experience. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, white tablecloths, Asian art with lots of foliage. The service was definitely top tier and I enjoyed the stripped bass as recommended by our waiter. The lychee martini went down easy as well! Not something I would particularly crave but definitely a cool experience

Went to Le Colonial to celebrate my birthday with friends. We took Uber, but they have Valet. What a gem this place is...the bar is stunning all wood and have beautiful sitting around full of plants and beautiful decor. Everyone was amazing from the hostess to the waitress. The food is absolutely a 5 everything was delicious. I order the fish and it was a great show to watch him deboned it. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back!

Le Colonial hit it out of the park. And if it can do this consistently then it amounts to being one of the top restaurants or at least ours in South Florida to rank with Kyu, Le Sorelle in SE Boca and Livia in FLL. Food is expensive (we don't care it's more about quality and service to us than anything else) so bear that in mind. Started off with chicken dumplings and Cha Gio Chay which were hot lightly fried and crispy vegetable roll kind of like a think vegetable spring roll that you roll with lettuce and delicious hot red pepper accompanied by tamarind sauce. Each of these were outstanding. Followed up with Spicy Chicken Stir Fry that had some kick to it and shaking beef which were about 7 modest sized cubed filet mignon pieces with various greens. Also had garlic noodles and jasmine rice. Everything was extremely tasty with very light sauce. Dishes are heated to two people so for those that have larger parties you'll need to order more than one. All in all great, a great experience and much better than our precious experience here. On a side note Lily R was a fantastic and attentive server.
