" I loved my dining experience at Chez Joël. The coq au vin was rich and comforting, reminiscent of my favorite bistro in Paris. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the wine list, enhancing our meal significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at this quaint spot. The customer service was attentive, and the ambiance made it feel like a proper French bistro. The coq au vin was rich, but the portion felt a bit on the smaller side for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best place to celebrate anniversaries! The setting sets the mood perfectly, and the seafood offerings were fresh and delicious. My only critique was the waitress seemed distracted at times, leading to delays in our service. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little bistro has all the French flair you'd expect! The escargots were wonderfully garlicky and the caprese salad was refreshing. However, the dessert was a bit disappointing. I had the chocolate mousse and it wasn't as rich as I hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elaborate decorations and a charming courtyard set the scene for a lovely dinner. The food was good, but some portions felt a bit small for the price. The waitstaff was efficient, but could be warmer in their interactions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming atmosphere! We opted for the outdoor seating. The calamari was perfectly cooked and the duck dish was well-done but slightly salty. Service was friendly but could have been quicker. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Chez Joël is charming, and I truly enjoyed my meal. I had the coq au vin, which was full of flavor and complemented perfectly by a nice red wine. However, my only disappointment was the bread, which felt a bit stale. Overall, a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)
