L'apéritif Bistro - Fresno

The vibe is amazing. The food is the best here in the Central Valley. The owner went to Culinary school in France and never disappoints on all the dishes. The variety of drinks here is fantastic! I love bringing friends here and the Chef makes the people feel welcomed.

This is in the old Shenanigans club. Same layout but different decor. Dark ambience. Clean. Our waitress was so helpful with it being our first time, and she was patient with us too. Customer and table service was perfect. Booths are comfortable. Food was tasty. But Dee was disappointed because her 3 scallops plate cost her $39. Expensive place but worth trying at least once:

Incredible tapas. Highly recommend the spicy mussels and spicy scallops. However, entrees aren?t great shrimp and gnocchi and paella were not tasty. Would recommend doing tapas only. It is a bit too expensive to only eat tapas, but the spicy scallops warrant giving this restaurant 4 stars. Of the desserts, the crème brûlée is a must have.

Came here for an anniversary date night and we loved it! The service was excellent and our waitress was super knowledgeable. She asked if it was our first time and she went over the menu, highlighting popular dishes. Our first time having frog legs and they were so good, seasoned very well. The pasta sauce was homemade and had a sweet-tangy taste to it. The paella had great heat to it and flavorful. The protein portions were very generous. We tried three different mixed drinks (Stockholm royale, French kiss, and Neroli) and enjoyed every single one. Definitely will return.

We did the tapas. The frog legs were fantastic. Ranked number one of our list. The mushroom burchett was like number 2. Everything was not good but YUM!! Because we only did the tapas now severely curious how chef's steaks taste with his sause SO definitely coming back to try that. See recipient for all we tried. Chef came by to see what was enjoyed as well as chef's wife also stopped by to what we enjoyed the most.
