" Nothing short of fantastic! My friends and I went for dinner, and everything was excellente! From the appetizers to the dessert - it felt like we were dining in Paris. They could improve their wine knowledge a bit, but it didn't ruin our evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a somewhat mixed experience. While the food was good, particularly the Moules Marinières, the service was a little slow, and the surroundings were a bit cramped for my liking. It's a nice spot for a dinner date, but I'd suggest going on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little spot with decent food. The desserts were fantastic, especially the chocolate mousse! But the main course was rather underwhelming. Service staff were attentive, but I was expecting a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience! The wine selection was impressive and complemented our meals perfectly. I could taste the authentic French seasoning in every bite of my Coq au Vin. Although the place was buzzing and full, the wait was minimal, and the staff was very accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone craving French cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Le Penguin was an unforgettable experience! The duck à l'orange had a rich, perfectly balanced flavor that took me right back to France. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le Penguin offers a solid dining experience overall, but the noise level was surprising for my dinner. Although the food was delicious, I’d recommend it for a casual lunch rather than a romantic dinner, unless you enjoy vibrant bistro energy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, but not great. The prix fixe menu lacked a bit of variety. While the Coq au Vin was satisfying, I had hoped for more innovative dishes. It was nice to try, but I don't think I would hurry back. " (*Curated Review*)
