Nice ambiance and greeting. Oh well. I ordered the cioppino. The broth was just okay and the seafood was a big disappointment. The squid and tiny bay scallops were way over cooked and so rubbery. I have never seen bay scallops in a nice restaurant like this. They overcook in 2 minutes. Someone should have told the chef. I didn't eat it. No concern by the waiter. The waiter was attentive in the beginning, but what are you going to do when you don't want to ruin the evening by sending your food back? We also ordered cappuccinos and dessert after we were able to get the attention of the waiter. The whole staff seem to be more interested in setting up the tables for the next day. The dessert was eaten before the cappuccinos finally arrived. The 3 others at my table said that the food was less in taste than was expected, but a real thumbs up on the escargot. read more

I have been an extreme fan of La Cigale from their first location to their current location. Unfortunately because of the pandemic I have not been able to go, until last night. The menu is basically the same which I enjoy however they were a little off last night. My wife order the pate platter and veal piccata no capers. She loved it. I ordered the Foie Gras which is my favorite item on the menu. It came out with a frozen center. $38 a pop there's no excuse for that. I also ordered the duck crispy which it was the Cassis reduction was very watery, almost as if they needed to stretch it out. I understand that all restaurants have a bad night, last night was theirs. I will return to the restaurant at a later date with the hopes that it was just a bad night. Typically I would give them 4 1/2 stars. Last night 3 1/2 stars. read more

Our daughter took us to Mother's Day dinner here--a wonderful experience all the way around! Valet parking! Everyone gave us the VIP treatment. We loved the Calamari, Veal Piccata, Filet Mignon & Red Snapper! They offer a great variety of desserts--Creme Brûlée', Golden Apple Tarte and Chocolate Molten Cake were scrumptious! Finishing touch was the professional singer with a repertoire including Sinatra, Tony Bennett, etc.! We will definitely return! read more

Great service by an experienced waitperson. Great ambiance. And the food was terrific. We will be going back. read more

Food was just OK. Nothing to return for. Ambiance was pretty bland. Found the $20 Valet to be absolutely ridiculous, I can park 10 feet away for free. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have a great happy hour menu with lots of food choices. We tried the salmon kabob, spinach & truffle quesadilla and blue point oysters. Everything was great and $6 for each plate. The portions are small so you might need to order several plates to feel satisfied. read more

Nothing to write home about. Lovely inside with wonderful service. Couldn't eat the PATE Platter. The Pate was more like salami and the Chicken liver mouse was awful. Sent back. Charged anyway. The Frogs legs were just eh...Bland. should be good and garlicky Osso Buco was ok. Creme Brule was excellent. And a bottle of lovely Bordeaux. For $152. could have gone to a real French restaurant. read more

Loved the atmosphere and mussels were amazing! Delicious sauce and wonderful desserts

Their food is extremely great and their appetizer of escargot and garlic cream sauce is to die for ex

Want to check out an upscale restaurant in downtown Delray Beach? This is the spot to get your eat and wallet on. It's located off the strip and away from the madness of Atlantic Avenue. The chicken francese smothered with lemon caper sauce was served with potato purée, which I doubled up on since I didn't want green beans or the other sides that they offered. I prefer the cut over the string green beans, so blame the pickiness on me ;) I had a bite of my date's filet Mignon and dipped it in some béarnaise sauce that was included with his entree. You can never ever go wrong with béarnaise sauce for a topping on a meat. It is absolutely out of this world. We couldn't leave without having some sweets. The golden apple tarte was served warm and flambe at the table. Of course, the bread pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla cream was screaming my name before the dinner even came. When we stepped in here for dinner the other night, it exceeded our expectations. Our entrees were divine and the desserts were fantastic. The staff was friendly and right on top of everything. They offer complimentary valet parking, which is so nice since the parking lots around the area is usually filled up. read more

La Cigale - Bread pudding ridiculousness. - Salad Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

We go there with some frequency and for good reason. A truly charming restaurant with superb food and service. The owners could not be more gracious or welcoming. And always safe to bring friends there - nothing worse than recommending a restaurant that fails to impress but not an issue here. Everyone we have brought has loved it. One of the many sad things about leaving our Florida home for the summer is not being able to go back to La Cigale until October! Many, many thanks! read more

As usual it was a better than great evening. Food was exceptional and service was very attentive and non-over bearing. Francois is an excellent host and makes every dining experience memorable. read more

We were in town for the Tulane vs Florida Atlantic football game and found this restaurant on Yelp. The food was great.

Would definitely come back. read more

The meal tonight, which was Italian night, was perfect. We arrived for happy hour at 6 PM and had cocktails and then a wonderful meal which included flounder and chicken and veal. We chose tiramisu for dessert and it was awesome, enjoyed by all five of us. We chose the Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon as our wine choice and it was also great! We always come back to our special plave. read more

I can understand why this restaurant has mixed reviews. It is overpriced and inconsistent. Some of the food is very good whereas, some of the food is just average. For example, the Coq Au Vin was excellent, one of the best, I've ever eaten. On the other hand, the Souppe de Poisson was just mediocre. The broth tasted lack luster!!! We only received four very small thin slices of baguette and they were not warm. The restaurant was extremely crowded and very, very noisy. It was almost impossible to hear your dinner partner above the din of the room. If I could've given this restaurant 3.5 stars I probably would've done that!!! read more

All good...food, service and ambiance. Just wish they were in open table so reservation's were easier.

We were looking for a fine French restaurant to take family for a celebration - and read the positive reviews. We were a large table, all ordered apps. then entrees. The food was exceptionally good. Highlights: Mushroom soup special, Escargots, Foie Gras, the house baked bread, Coq a vin, Bronzino, dinner Crepes, Calamari w/ Escarole. Everything was served hot or at appropriate temps. The place wasn't busy - 3 other tables and some folks at the bar. The reason for 2 stars was the service. The staff was pleasant, cheerful, and accommodating. BUT, they have no idea how to pace a meal or how to service a table. It was a slow night, so its hard to imagine why they needed to rush us. The apps came out in less than 10 minutes after placing order. Some of our party were finished before others, but the staff was pulling plates from the table while others were still eating. You don't ever do that in a fine French eatery! After apps were cleared, entrees came out too quickly - we were still digesting first course. Various staff were again removing entree plates while others were still enjoying the meal. This was insane...how do they not know the proper service skills? Then a guy comes up and puts his hand on my plate to remove it - without asking if I was finished. Nasty! A clue was my fork was in my hand I was about to take another bite of the delicious Bronzino. But he didn't have a clue, so I politely mentioned I was still eating showing him the fork in my hand. Staff never asked anyone if they were finished, instead they attempt to read your mind. So wrong and inappropriate for a fine French restaurant that clearly has an above average chef in the kitchen. The only time you remove a plate from the table is after the customer is asked if their finished - not when the staff guesses your finished. Bottomline, if this was a diner or average dining establishment I could understand, but this is a very expensive fine French restaurant. It's hard too believe they don't know better - but since their not trained or supervised properly - it's clear management doesn't know or care about the basics of proper service. This would never have happen at Le Bec Fin, Per Se, Daniel, Le Bernadine, and other greats. Paid $100's for delicious meal, that was served by pleasant, But poorly trained waitstaff. read more

Very nice upscale restaurant in Delray Beach that is NOT on Atlantic Avenue. I had the seafood crepes and they were out of this world. They were filled with bay scallops & shrimp, lobster sauce reduction and I substituted pasta for the sauteed spinach. read more

I was very impressed with the service and knowledge of the staff. They were out of the bread pudding and prices were high so not quite 5 star worthy. They served warm bread upon arrival. Minestrone soup was simple and yet tasty. The fish was also great and the tiramisu was just okay. Portions were spot on as well as service. Upscale dining best for a special occasion. The martinis and top shelf liquor were worth it. read more

Returned for second time as am out of town visitor after reading Korinne M.s Yelp review. Service was very attentive and made for a good dining experience. The portions were modest but very good. I had a Caesar salad, with very good dressing, not overpowering and tender anchovies. I followed that with the seafood crepes, stuff with sea scallops and baby shrimp served over a bed of spinach and with a nice lobster sauce reduction. Nice selection of wine by the glass and quick valet parking. Place was empty at 7 pm and full at 8 pm, FYI (Friday Night) read more

The chicken francese was good. The bar is deep. The desserts, an apple tartin and molten cake were so-so. The oysters were not well shucked and were not top grade. The decor is nice but the chairs are cheap for the $$$$ price. They have a few comfy ones, but most of the tables are not so well equipped. The place looks beautiful, but it's a bit loud and the menu is more attitude than delivery. To top it off La Cigale is UBER PRICEY, with charges that would be valid if Daniel Bolud was cooking, but not worthy of the food that they serve here. It's not that level of cuisine to justify it. The service was excellent. The valet was most professional. The bartender was terrific. The kitchen loses a star here. I tried it. I don't think I'd go back. For the money, I'd hit Cafe Bolud or another dozen restaurants first. read more

La Cigale - Dining room - Salad Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Last night was our second visit. Food ranges from very good to excellent. Nothing over the top, just very well prepared dishes. Service was excellent from the young men serving bread and water to our waiter...she was attentive and warm, always smiling. Prices are what they are, one app, 3 drinks, one bottle of white, three entrees, two deserts and a signature coffee...with tip $300.00...I think that's a reasonable tab consider a nice locale, food quality and the total dining experience. We will be back. read more

My dad and his wife invited my wife and me to a nice dinner to have a late celebration of my wife's birthday. They had visited La Cigale multiple times and wanted to share the experience with us. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING La Cigale did not disappoint! Between the food and the service of Andrea we were overly joyed with our dinning experience! We started with escargot and artichokes, moved into our main courses of Lamb Chops and scallops and oh boy was the food delicious. Andrea kept refilling our bread, water and wine making sure our thirsts were clenched. Then to top it off the waitstaff brought out a cake to sing to my wife, she asked for it to be sang in french and she got her wish! We ordered a Vanilla Creme Brûlée for dessert it was mouth watering with each bite, cooked to perfection. Thank you La Cigale for the wonderful evening we look forward to dining at your establishment again! Recommend to all! read more

My new favorite place for Happy Hour. All drinks are 2 for 1, which is great for a picky wino like me. You can even mix and do a cocktail then wine as a 2 for 1.

Let me start by saying that French is not my favorite unless of course I am in France and eating pastries but this place is one of the best French restaurants in Florida. The onion soup was perfect. They also had a Mussel cream soup that was not great but possibly due to it not being served hot enough. The dinners were excellent. See my pictures. They also have cheese plates with goat, Brie and Gorgonzola. It was good. They have some of the prettiest shrimp cocktails and the desserts were perfect. This is one of the few places that I have seen profiteroles. For those who don't know what it is. It's a cream puff filled w Icecream and chocolate sauce. Yummy. Service was perfect. The most friendly valet guy (Chaz) and dining service continued and ended with the nice staff. read more
