We definitely enjoyed Babette. We decided to come here after looking for new French restaurants, and this popped up. We didn't have reservations, but it was already 9.30 pm, so we decided to try walking in. We were lucky since there was an open table for 2, but I strongly recommend making a reservation before coming here. The restaurant is small, and it fills up quite quickly. The restaurant itself is very cozy and inviting. With dimmed lighting and bottles of wine in a center table, it's quite a beautiful yet simply decorated. The service was attentive and very friendly. Everyone who works there was polite and very knowledgeable about their dishes. Food coming out of the kitchen takes a little more time than normal, but it didn't matter... we had wine and bread. Everything we ordered was delicious, except maybe the apple pie, which was average..... but everything else was perfect. Beet tartare Fennel salad Snapper capers and lemongrass. Sweetbreads, foie gras, aligot Incredible. Definitely enjoyed Babette, and I will recommend you give it a try. BTW... it has a nice wine list.

Beet tartare

Another wow! If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, look no further. Came here for our monthly get together where our group pairs a fabulous dinner with different wines, and all I can say is, "WOW"! Fantastic out of this world dining experience!

Beet Tartare
Tom B.

by Alejandro. Absolutely the best meal I've had all decade in Greater Miami. Their Beet Tartare is the first rational argument for veganism I've ever heard. The Gnocci in Black Truffle Sauce is pure decadence. Not pictured because we wolfed them down were the French Onion Soup and the "Crab Flan." Both were superb.

As a local, I was excited when I walked past La Jolla and noticed a restaurant had opened within! The beautiful interior design and romantic setting led me to immediately book a reservation for my birthday. Given that they are new, there are kinks to still work out but so much potential. Be prepared for small serving sizes for the entrees, and I mean very small but beautiful ambiance. The house focaccia and butter were yummy and a nice touch. The lobster was honestly a laughable portion, literally we all chuckled a little when it arrived. My husband ate it in two, maybe three bites. My own steak dish was also smaller than expected. The chef sent out a complimentary salad which was so full of flavor and also topped the tuna tartare with caviar for us on the house. I was very excited about the basque cheesecake remembering how amazing the cheesecakes I had in Basque Country were. Again, disappointed with the portion but wonderful flavor. I wanted so badly to love it but the portions are so small you tend to leave feeling a bit robbed. Lovely experience though. Nice for a date night or small group.

Dessert, the fondant lava cake

It was my first time visiting this restaurant with my good friend who had chosen it for us. It's inviting from the outside and just as cozy on the inside. We tried many of the items from the menu. We started out with a Spanish bottle of wine which was so smooth. We had their homemade focaccia and butter which was made with absolute love. We then started out with the crab truffle flan (chawanmushi). This was my friends favorite. The broth was delicious and flavorful. My personal favorite appetizer was the Endives salad. I absolutely loved it and will think about it for days to come. So simple but amazing. For our entrees, we were highly recommended the lamb ragu. My friend chose this while I decided the strip sirloin. The lamb for the ragu is cooked for 8 hours and it was truly amazing. I'm more of a beef lover, so I throughly enjoyed my tender sirloin with its touch of crisp. Very texturally pleasing for me lol it is served with a bit of mash potatoes and a very flavorful sauce/reduction. For dessert we had a fondant type lava cake with a vanilla gelato on top. It was perfectly sweet and a great choice to end the meal with. The service from the very beginning was so lovely and warm and professional. The owners are making sure their guests are happy as well. They have created a very inviting and cozy place that I will look forward to revisiting. P.S. the music playlist is another aspect I loved. It leaves you wondering.. what's coming up next? A surprise for the ears. It's a unique touch that we really appreciated. I regret not getting more pictures.

The portion sizes are generous as they let you know its family size. They have fresh tomatoes and a lemon with a knife at every table. Cut some tomatoes add some salt pepper a little olive oil w some balsamic and you have yourself a fantastic delight for the table. The escargot was by far sone of the best with the Parmesan they used. Fresh WARM bread is served through out your meal. The main courses were generously sized. The Star of the meal is by far the vanilla cheesecake. It's very light contrary to what you'd expect when you think cheesecake. It's so smooth on the palate w an amazing burst of vanilla. It's a MUST have when you eat here!

There was no clear communication at any point that these items would be charged. Based on how it was presented, it felt like these were gestures from the bar. However, when the bill was presented, those items were included, which created a very uncomfortable and confusing situation. The issue here is not about the amount, but about the lack of transparency. If items are being sent to a table, it should be made explicitly clear whether they are complimentary or will be included on the bill. Without that clarity, it feels misleading. At a restaurant of this caliber, clear communication should be a given, and unfortunately that was not the case here.

Inside, the restaurant fully transports you out of the 305 with danity, quirky and cute decor, and cozy lighting. Only tables available. seating inside and out by parking lot. THE FOOD: For starters, we had the cheese, bread and honey dish - 4/5 warm, crunchy, gooey goodness. I also had the French onion soup 5/5, probably the best ive ever had! incredible flavor profile perfectly balanced and salted. For entrees, my husband went with a oxtail with mash dish they had on special that day 1000/5, too bad eating with your hands and licking your plate is frowned upon lol - it deserved that! I had the Pan seared branzino 2/5 - now hear me out - it was five out of five in texture, soft and buttery, and presentation BUT it was cook with SO MUCH BUTTER, that the roof of my mouth & tongue were coated in it and I couldnt tastes anything else! It was so much butter that I felt my lips, tongue and throat irritated. Additionally, im not sure why they didn't pair this dish with a mash or a roasted potatoes, instead of only cooked down spinach. THE SERVICE: Reservations are strongly encouraged - so I made mine with Resy. Through Resy, I confirmed my reservation and had it all in text & email. Upon arrival, their system didnt pull it up. However, the manager (?) was kind, gentle and gracious, sat us at a table. Our waiter was fantastic! So charismatic, and was well versed on all the dishes and how they were made. I believe she said she's been with the team a few years now. From what I understand, a sister restaurant was just opened in Miami Beach, so I hope to be able to give that one a try aswell - maybe for my birthday in two weeks?

We started with the mussels, and they were excellent! huge portion and full of flavor. The buttery white wine sauce was so good, especially with the French fries on the side. Honestly, we could've stopped there and been happy. We also ordered the tuna, which was just as good. Since it was Valentine's Day, we ended up having two bottles of wine to celebrate, and both were delicious. For our main courses, my husband ordered the lamb and I went with the fish special, which was stuffed with cheese and topped with walnuts. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything was spot on!!! from the food to the wine to the service. We're absolutely coming back, and I already have my next order planned: the duck.

Can't say much about the olive oil as it was infused with red & yellow pieces of pepper. The goat cheese salad was delicious. The seafood pasta was just okay. The onion soup was very good, served very hot and not salty. It's good for a quick convenient lunch, but not for a 5 Star meal. Located in a strip mall, with indoor or outdoor seating, along with easy parking.

Instead, we were sat at the smallest bar seating, which was completely inappropriate and not romantic at all for an occasion like Valentine's Day. As soon as we sat down, I politely asked if we could be moved. The manager then told me that I had booked bar seating, which is simply not true. Why would anyone reserve bar seating a month in advance for Valentine's Day? I checked my reservation confirmation myself and it never stated that, and I even tried making another reservation to verify ..bar seating wasn't even an option. He told us he would "see what he could do," and we were left waiting at the bar with no water, no menus, no service, and no communication whatsoever. Meanwhile, we watched multiple couples get seated at proper tables back-to-back. At one point, we even overheard another couple say their reservation was at the same time as ours, and they were seated at a table immediately. When I tried to politely ask for an update, the manager or owner completely ignored me. No acknowledgment, no apology, nothing. I was honestly in shock at how disrespectful and dismissive they were. We ended up getting up and leaving because of how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. Valentine's Day is supposed to be special, and this restaurant completely ruined that experience.
