Rêve Bistro - Lafayette

We ordered some appetizers and a cocktail each. The gougères were decent, but the pâté was disappointing. It lacked flavor and the texture was not reminiscent of traditional pâté; instead, it was more like chunks of something roughly chopped and placed in a terrine. The restaurant was quite busy, and the service was rather lacking.

I hadn't enjoyed food of this quality in a long time. From the gougères to the French onion soup, the salmon with mashed potatoes and artichokes (which was both delicious and delicate), and finally the pear tart—everything was truly special.

The restaurant offers classic French bistro-style cuisine. While steak and frites are certainly staples, there are also numerous seasonal dishes to explore. The charcuterie is outstanding, featuring house-made pâté and rillettes. The menu changes regularly, so it's worth checking back often. However, I do wish the dessert menu changed more frequently.

We were totally happy, even blown away, by our experience. Four long time friends joined to celebrate all our birthdays at a special dinner...average age 81. We had an unforgetable meal at Reve; staff was all wonderful and friendly and our waiter was extraordinary (the big guy). The food was just stellar and we enjoyed everything from salad to dessert. Brought a bottle from one of our cellars that went with our meals and the corkage was reasonable given their wonderful wine list. Some of us had been before and and this place will never disappoint. It really is a creative space and you feel that energy. 10 stars at least.

We had the rouget entree last night, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! The variety of flavors was so wonderful, we paused between bites just to savor the moments ? Thank you for the perfect meals!
