" L'Ostal is my new favorite restaurant! The gnocchi and steak were out of this world, but it was the desserts that wowed me. The panna cotta was rich and delicious; truly the best I've had. Our server was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was busy and lively—perfect for a fun night out. My only complaint was that I wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for L'Ostal, and they were met with every bite. The emphasis on authentic French flavors was refreshing. I particularly enjoyed the burrata and foie gras; they were phenomenal. The wine suggestions elevated our meal. The ambiance mixed formality with casual dining perfectly. Sure, it’s not the cheapest, but I left feeling like I had received a genuine French dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! L'Ostal offers an experience that's hard to find. From the atmosphere to the food, it captures the essence of authentic French dining. The staff were polite and engaged—always ready to help with recommendations. I was particularly impressed by how fresh everything tasted. It's a bit pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for. I would recommend trying their seasonal specials; they didn't disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" L’Ostal is an absolute treasure! We celebrated my wife's birthday there, and everything was simply perfect. The food was fantastic, especially the lamb shank—tender and flavorful. We enjoyed the thoughtful pairings from the sommelier, which made our dining experience even better. Service was impeccable; our server was engaging and attentive. The ambiance was cozy, making for a lovely night out. Highly recommended for any special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, our experience at L’Ostal was good but not spectacular. While the food was definitely tasty, it didn’t quite match the enthusiasm of some reviews I had read. The server was kind and attentive, and the ambiance evoked a nice vibe, though it was crowded. The price point feels a little steep for the overall experience. That said, I would still recommend it for someone looking for a solid meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" L’Ostal provides a delightful dining experience! The menu offers a variety of authentically prepared dishes that transport you to France with every bite. We opted for the duck confit and the steak, both of which were exquisitely cooked and bursting with flavor. Our server was both attentive and knowledgeable, which added to the overall experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax. Can't wait to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Ostal shines when it comes to delivering authentic Southern French cuisine. We started with the escargot, which was cooked to perfection. Following that, I had the duck and my partner enjoyed the halibut. Both dishes were exceptionally crafted with rich flavors. The atmosphere felt welcoming and intimate—perfect for a lovely dinner. While we enjoyed every aspect of our meal, we did find it a bit on the pricey side. Nonetheless, it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
