Liking the waterfront restaurants in this Lake Conroe plaza, we have frequently noted Petit Suzette. Finally, we actually decided to go! French food is a bid of a scarce find North of Houston. The space is small but, quiet. Fitting for the sort of intimate French dining experience they provide. Lots of black ceiling space, adding to the feel of a night out "dans la grande rue." Hostess and wait staff were friendly and happy. We landed in the French Riviera on Fondue special night. Our waiter, Sebastian (come on, right?!? perfect) sold us on the half price treat immediately, split by the three of us it was so much fun. Trying not to make a mess, while trying not to appear to be scarfing down every last bit of french bread loaf cubes that comes with it. Emmental cheese melt combination, such a good twang to the cheese and a smooth feel. Good time. Dinner was served promptly. Fish, Poultry, Red Meat in the forms of Coq au Vin, rich, juicy, delicate (as "au Vin" should be) served with those little french style carrots with the nub of the bright green stem attached...so, foreign and cool. My Daughter had the Salmon on a raft of asparagus (so fat and round, I couldn't believe how absulutely soft they were; since, usually big asparagus have super woody stems. These were almost cartoon-large and still every bit was edible.) all smothered in Hollandaise sauce, and topped with caviar (salmon roe). I ordered the Lamb á la Menthe, Loin and chop sprinkled with micro-greens, traditional green beans, substitute carrots for broccoli rabe and added 3 Jumbo Shrimp (to dunk in the rest of the fondue cheese) Hey, you can do what you want with your food when its your turn!
Finished up splitting a Créme Brûlée. You have to, it's perfectly French, it was a little too yummy and I could get the picture taken before the spoons had half devoured it. Now for the Piéce de Résistance...Toillettes... Clean, modern-enough, bright, small (fitting for the size of the dining room) with some trendy bits, the Oceanic blue stone pattern tiles on the walls, the copper sink (cool), gold mirrored napkin holder (not one of those tacky chrome wall-mount dispensers), oil-rubbed brass fixtures. Just enough to stay on par with the dining experience as a whole, but, nothing in and of itself to write home about. Certainly, didn't carry a French influence into the restroom, at least the men's. I can't wait to go back to this place! Why didn't I get truffle mac n cheese? Why didn't I try Ratatouille?!? ALL LOVE for this place and Nothing but Good Food in a romantic setting. Followed up with a walk along the waterfront docks, with sailboats slipped and a Catfish feeding well in the center of the docks. Lights from the adjacent waterfront restaurants over the night time boats...great date night destination. Highly Recommend. But, only if you like...
Read moreWe had read great things and were excited to try their lunch menu for ourselves - based on our lunch experience we’re looking forward to going back for dinner! The interior is charming decorated to feel like a true cafe. The dining room isn’t too large and it made it a bit noisy with about a third of the restaurant full, but nothing too distracting, just noticeable. We started with the creamy mushroom consome - it was delicious with lots of flavor and full of mushrooms! The only creamy bites I had included the goat cheese, but despite this, the dish came together nicely. It’s a bit too big for a single person to have as a cup of soup, but not quite large enough for an entree. It was perfect for me and my husband to share before our meals. My husbands french dip sandwich was delicious! The meat was tender and flavorful and the au jus was bold and plenty to last the full sandwich. The nectarine and goat cheese salad was also tasty, and the dressing was a little sweet but just voted the salad so pretty well perfect. If I ordered it again I would probably skip the protein, and just eat the salad as served, as the flavors just melded so well together. The real standout of the meal for both of us, though, was the poached pear crepe! I don’t do savory crepes, and typically go with a nutella and strawberry crepe, but wanted to try something different and so glad I did!! Probably the best sweet crepe dish I’ve ever had. The crepe itself was cooked perfectly, light, a tad sweet, but the filling with the pears and the white chocolate and pecans just so good!! We’ll definitely...
Read moreWe came here for a Mother's Day Brunch. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is wonderful as well and it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly at around 1:30pm and once brought to our table the seats were greesy and dirty so we had to wait for someone to clean. I ordered the truffle mushroom crepe, which arrived cold and honestly lacked any truffle flavor, tasted like cream of mushroom soup. They made me a new one which was hot but ruined it with overloading it with the cheese. Who says too much cheese, usually not be bit the cheese they use is very over powering and destroyed it. My husband got the chicken Alfredo crepe and said it lacked flavor. We came here with our two kids and that menu is very limied, especially for breakfast. My daughter's Alfredo which was $8 and not too big, we also wanted chicken which was an extra $4. Maybe they don't want to attract families but felt like that was a bit much. My son got Mac n cheese, also $8 and in my opinion not worth it. The manager shared that because our food was cold they would comp dessert. Apparently she didn't share that either the waiter but we ordered the biegnet and they were ok, tastes like jelly donut with the jelly outside. Maybe the dinner menu tastes better or we ordered the...
