What People Say

Guests rave about the authentic French cuisine, especially the steak frites, duck confit, and freshly baked pastries. The interior design—with its mix of art deco touches and warm lighting—gets frequent compliments for setting a relaxing yet elegant mood. Many reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the attentive staff and consistently high-quality food, even during busy dinner hours.

Areas for Improvement

Soutine can get busy during peak times, so making a reservation is a smart move, especially on concert nights. Some guests mention portion sizes lean on the traditional (read: modest), so big appetites might consider ordering an extra starter or dessert. Prices are fair for the area, but it's not the cheapest option around.
