We had the grilled octopus as an appetizer- it was delicious, very well-cooked and tender. I ordered the chicken dish- Poulet À La Gaston Gérard- holy moly, the sauce on this is so delicious I had to keep reminding myself not the lick the plate. We had the vacherin for dessert- soooo delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out!

It is one of my favorite cuisines to cook and eat, so I was very excited to try this place. However, the service actually outshined the food here. Our server was kind, attentive, friendly and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant wasn't busy that night, we were only one of two tables seated. The escargot was absolutely hands down by far the best thing we ate. I could smell it before it even came to our table! The mushroom sauce was rich, flavorful, herbaceous and so so fragrant. The snails were perfectly cooked and tender! My only critique of this dish was that I wish it was served in puff pastry rather than fillo dough. If you are feeling brave this dish is a must order! The house salad was okay. It was under seasoned. It had some pear slices and tomatoes. It was well dressed with a dijon vinaigrette. The sad part was the mesclun mix, it was old and slimy. I had to eat around the slimy bits which was gross. Now with vivid memories of the last time I had duck confit dancing through my mind, for my entree I ordered the duck confit. I took a bite of this with expectations high and was immediately perplexed. Confit is supposed to be moist, tender, decadently rich and flavorful because the duck is slow cooked in its own fat, which this wasn't. Could not have been. If I was told that this duck was roasted instead, I wouldn't have argued that it was confit at all. But then I tried to fork one of my vegetables. All the root vegetables were still hard and also unseasoned. I don't even understand this. The haricot vert were well cooked but unseasoned. The beef bourguignon fell flat. The sauce was too thin and the root vegetables were also hard on top of this dish. I loved the mashed potatoes because they reminded me of my Nonna. Hers were made with salt water and butter but not with cream so draw your own conclusions lol. The creme brûlée had me truly confused. It had a very unique texture. It wasn't rich and creamy, which comes from the use of heavy cream. It was much lighter, like if it were possible to make creme brûlée with whole milk or maybe half and half. No real discernible vanilla flavor either, definitely no real vanilla bean in here, which is my personal method. I ordered the pear tart and was sorry I did honestly. The tart base, which is typically made with butter in the dough was definitely made with a vegetable fat like crisco instead. And to add insult to injury, I could taste that it was going/had gone bad/tasted overcooked, so basically an unpleasant sour/bitter flavor. The frangipane punched you right in the face with almond extract, it was so overwhelming it ruined the balance of the dessert. But at least it helped mask that tart crust flavor. The caramel sauce was thin and basically flavorless. The pears were still hard. The tart was cold and served with cold ice cream from a carton. I would have thought that a restaurant of this caliber would make their own. In short, don't order the pear tart! Well I think that's all my comments, do with them what you will.

This family operated…read morerestaurant has a reputation for being a fine dining establishment and I was looking forward to dinner. When I first arrived, I was greeted warmly and seated. The place has that old world charm that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. We started off with their French onion soup and cream of mushroom soup and Les Escargot au Beurre and it was perfection. Next their house salad, followed by Steak tips Dianne, Veal Vosgienne (veal sautéed in a mushroom cream sauce), Steak Dianne (table side flambé in Madeira sauce and shallots), Gnocchi Chez Pierre with sautéed shrimp and Sole Margueray (poached in wine with cream mussels and shrimp). Everything was delicious. Service was attentive but you must allow time when dining here. The restaurant does get quite busy but it is well worth the visit. My only small disappointment was their bread basket. There were small packets of saltines alongside bread and butter. It seemed a little out of place at such a nice restaurant. It was an overall good dining experience and I would definitely return!

We were seated immediately…read more I ordered the French onion soup (perfect size and quite tasty) and the black tailed shrimp with parmesan risotto with a sauce (also very tasty and also very rich). My partner had the Lobster Corn Soup which she enjoyed, but as the daughter of an Iowa farm boy would have enjoyed even more corn. Entree was Lobster Stuffed Salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Again very tasty but with the sauce also very rich. Portion sizes for everything were quite appropriate- not too much and we skipped dessert because we were full. I has a glass of a very nice Sancerre with my meal. Service was attentive and personable. I am guessing that we had the fall menu and that the summer menu is likely a bit lighter but I do not know that for a fact. I would definitely return and would classify this in the infrequent "special occasion" category. Only one small grumble --. The rolls and butter served before appetizers were phenomenally ordinary. I would have thought brioche or French bread with cultured butter for a French Restaurant at this level.

    We had the winning bid on an auction for a free stay at the Wellsworth Hotel in Southbridge. We…read morebooked our stay for a Saturday night. We looked online for local restaurants to dine at during our stay. Neither my girlfriend or I have ever gone to a French restaurant, so we decided on The Metro Bistrot, due to all the fantastic reviews. I called and spoke with Jay (chef and owner) a week prior to make the reservation. We took an Uber from the hotel, as it's BYOB and brought a couple of bottles of wine. This was a Saturday before a big snow storm the following day. I think due to this, the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. We ended up being seated in the back room all to ourselves. It was a very nice room that had about 4 tables. Stephanie, our server was an absolute delight! Turns out she works for the hotel as well and she's the one I spoke with when we booked the room. She opened our Beaujolais for us and brought some wine glasses. She kept the bottle chilled in the fridge for us. She went over some of the specials being prepared that night and was able to make some nice recommendations. My girlfriend ended up with the special seafood soup special with a lobster stock as a base. I ordered the escargot. Both were absolutely fantastic. She kept our bread basket filled with wonderful fresh warm bread to soak up all the goodness of the soup and escargot. My girlfriend ordered the boar shank and I ordered the stuffed quail that was stuffed with foie gras and pate. The boar meat fell right of the bone and was some of the most tender meat we've ever had. Both dishes were phenomenal. Jay stopped by our table to chat. He's super nice and even took some photos with us. We ordered 3 different kinds of cheeses prior to ordering dessert. All three we ordered were great! Stephanie also brought us a bowl of crackers to go with the cheese. For dessert, my girl had the cheesecake with an oatmeal crust and fresh berries. I'm not usually one for sweets, unless it Crème Brûlée, so I opted for the Boursin stuffed Shrimp, forgetting it wasn't an appetizer, but a main entree. It was out of this world! All the fish Jay brings in are always fresh and NEVER frozen. He even poured me a small glass of some white wine and it went so well with the shrimp. We cannot wait to go back. The prices are very reasonable and the service and food is second to none. Cheers!

One chef and one server. It is byob and the menu isn't extensive. But it is mostly local and classic French. It is accessible and not pretentious. A place where the passion for French cooking is designed for locals. The food is interesting and has a casual vibe. Like a small village in France where farmers and artisans come. The space is small and seatings limited, so by the end of the night you can meet new friends if you want to. I would encourage you to bring an extra bottle of wine and share.
