Resto L'Antoinette French American Bistro

Sometimes spontaneous plans can lead to great treasures....Had no plans of eating out on a random Tuesday night, however, my family and I were out running errands and as the evening approached realized that cooking at home was likely not going to happen. Per usual, a quick Yelp search and wanting to try something new vs the usual go-tos led us to this new little "trésor".Pricey as it was, the food and experience were amazing!! Our waiter, Ryan, was sweet as could be and great at suggesting menu items. Appetizers, entrees, desserts - everything was "c'est magnifique"!From the moment we walked in I knew it would be special...the high ceilings and grandeur of the chandeliers really set the tone for the experience. It's not kitschy French but rather modern sophistication. They offer patio seating as well, but with such a lovely interior and linen draped tables I'd opt to sit inside. They also have a large bar where you can enjoy a drink or dine if you prefer. It actually makes for a lovely venue to host a special occasion/event!Hopefully the word begins to spread and tables fill up quickly...it was a bit empty, but again, it was a random Tuesday night. Although it is on the pricier side, the quality of the meal was definitely there. We truly had a lovely evening and enjoyed every part of our dinning experience!

We first heard of Resto L'Antoinette in Milton while at a Yelp event a couple of months ago and were so impressed by what they offered that night that we decided to have dinner there. Not only was the service impeccable (a special thank you to Lyndsey), but the vibes were also great. It was intimate and romantic, which is perfect for a date night. Now for the food- I can't even describe how good it was. Every single thing from the bread and butter all the way to the dessert was incredible. We had to start out with the Bread Service (Mini french baguette with whipped European butter and sea salt, which is made daily!) and Consommé À L'Oignon Français, which was a French Onion Consommé made with vidalia onions, brioche, and Gruyère. My partner had the Chef's Steak Special with scalloped potatoes and truffles, while I had the Gnocchi Poivron with the eggplant caponata. Of course, when we told that the dessert special was a deconstructed S'more, we had to try that with our after dinner coffee. We absolutely loved our whole experience at Resto L'Antoinette! If you're looking for a special place for a romantic dinner, this is your place! We'll absolutely be back!

I just don't have the words to describe how wonderful this place is. The atmosphere is perfect. The space is amazing, not many tables so it feels exclusive and special. The vibe is perfect for a date night or special occasion. The food is immaculate, the execution is perfect. From the plating to the taste. Only the best ingredients were used and you are reminded from the first bite to the last. Our server Lyndsey, was kind, helpful and fun. From help with the menu to making sure the table was free of crumbs between courses I couldn't ask for better service. I just don't have a bad thing to say. Now to put a bow on it. My suggestion would be to look nice and make a reservation. If you're looking to eat on the cheap I would go elsewhere. If you are looking for a meal you'll talk about for days. This is your spot. I assure you we will be back sooner rather than later.

Fantastic addition to downtown Milton/Crabapple! The food and staff are always impeccable and friendly.

Awesome experience, the staff, manager , and atmosphere are top notch! The open pleasant feel and attentive service made the evening perfect. Ryan was our 5 star waiter and the food was presented and tasted perfect! The muscles appetizer was finger licking and fresh bread sopping delicious!!

Great food, great ambiance and a wonderful staff to top it off. All of these combine to make this a great dining experience. We had a large group ( which is always a challenge to the staff ) but they made all feel well taken care of. The menu is diverse and all of the food we had was excellent.

L'Antoinette is a super French-ish new restaurant in Crabapple. Let's review our recent visits.There is plenty of parking in the adjacent garage, and the walk is short to the front door.The space is dark, warm and inviting with a large bar to the right when entering. Think date night appropriate. There are perhaps 20 tables, and the tables are nicely spaced so that there is plenty of room between you and other guests.The wine list is fairly small for a French restaurant, and on a recent visit the posted Pouilly Fuisse by the glass was not in stock yet, limiting choices further.The food is unexpectedly good, but unexpectedly different, too. For example, steak and frites.... The steak is nicely prepared and the menu claims an Epaule, or shoulder cut. Traditionally in French or Belgian brasseries this dish is a rump cut or an entrecôte, or rib cut, but I'm not being picky. The approximately 1 inch thick steak at L'Antoinette came out tasty and perfectly medium, as ordered, accompanied by large rectangles of pomme frites, or fried potatoes - very untraditional in presentation, and much heavier than expected. We prefer authentic frites, but the dish was very good.L'Antoinette has sole. The fish. And for me it's the standout entree. Typically I've seen sole pan sautéed in Europe, but here they bread and deep fry a de-boned whole cut of the fish, with curly tail still on. And it is delicious. Moist white meat inside. Crusty outside. The buerre noisette, or browned butter with lemon, was a perfect, light accompaniment. Again, fried sole may not be a traditional French presentation, but this dish is outstanding!The coq au vin scared me away on my first visit. I saw pearl onions in the preparation and it reminded me of my mother's frozen peas and pearl onions when I was a kid. But I was brave on a recent dining experience, and while chicken can be boring this entree was amazing, exceeding all expectations. Tender and juicy chicken is presented, braised in red wine along with trumpet mushrooms, haricot blanc and the aforementioned pearl onions. Even the onions were terrific. Great job, chef. Sorry, mom.Bread service is extra. They source from Theo's Brothers Bakery, the best bakery in the area, so while charging extra for bread is sadly on trend now, at least the small baguette you get here is top notch. Pro tip. Order the Moules appetizer (which is classic and terrific) and complimentary bread comes to help mop up the brothy goodness.For Miss M the best thing on the menu is the crème brûlée done in a bananas foster kind of way. She said it's the best she's ever had, and that says a lot coming from her.Service is just ok. They seem a little understaffed for a restaurant that's trying to be an experience, but the food makes up for the service. The service, however, pushes L'Antoinette towards a more casual experience rather than sophisticated one. Overall, Resto L'Antoinette is a great addition to the downtown Crabapple dining scene. It's good enough for a sexy weekend date night, but casual enough for a Tuesday evening. I wish them much success!

One of the newer French restaurants around, and a welcomed addition. Service and ambiance was stellar. The good was near perfection. We had the Oysters, Steak Tartare, endive salad and Filet. Loved it, beautiful evening.

This was our second visit to L'Antoinette. The food and service were impeccable. The French onion consommé is a must try as well as the salmon and gnocchi. They also have specials in addition to their regular menu every evening. Dessert was also wonderful--chocolate cake and brioche bread pudding with fresh whipped cream. To die for. This is our new favorite restaurant in the area. Can't wait to come back!

We had a fabulous dinner at L'Antoinette! Every bite was delicious and Ryan was an awesome server! Highly recommend this restaurant!
