" Le Diplomate really showcases the essence of French cuisine! Our food arrived promptly, and I loved the variety on the menu. The steak was great, though a tad salty—the dessert selection did not disappoint either! I’ll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many French bistros, but Le Diplomate is the real deal! The escargots were some of the best I’ve tasted in the U.S. and the croissant was flaky and fresh right out of the oven. Would love to go back and try their dinner menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Le Diplomate and enjoyed the outdoor seating! The service staff was friendly, but my food took a little longer to arrive than expected. However, the duck confit was worth the wait! Just be mindful on busy days. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming feeling in this restaurant! I loved the rustic decor and French-inspired ambiance. The food was well-prepared but a bit on the pricier side. It’s a great spot for special occasions. I’ll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
