The waitress was super friendly and kind. The food was very disappointing though. The garlic bread that I ordered with the mussels was the best part of the whole dinner. The mussels were good, but it's hard to go wrong with a garlicy, buttery sauce and bread. The rest of the food was a letdown. The gnocchi were way too sweet and just did not taste great. I did like that they were homemade, but the flavors were just off. The whole braised branzino tasted good, but came with a mayo-based sauce and I would expect something better for $44. We did get a free glass of champagne on the house for our anniversary, which was very kind!! Overall not worth it though for the high price tag and not great food.
This IS the cutest spot in Portland, the lighting is just right. Defs has bigger city vibes. Service was impeccable - attentive, professional but also casual and approachable. Food was amazing and cocktails and wine were as well. The gnocchi was exceptional!Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: Yes
Swoon! The food, cocktails, decor. All of it adds up to an experience I look forward to. Moules are a must. Chicken liver pate is my other favorite. Plus whatever seasonal salads and veg they are serving.
Great meal, wonderful setting. Kuddos to the staff and kitchen who were dealing with busy night and kept the quality at a high level. We will certainly come back to try the other dishes. The little dirty martini is the way to go. Great music as well
We have been coming here for years and always loved it, but last nights meal was one of the best meals I’ve had at any restaurant in years. The cocktail menu, Frites, pâté, asparagus, butter lettuce salad, moules, monkfish, all produced delight. The delicious vegetarian gnocchi was not just an afterthought menu item either you know, make something with mushrooms and call it done. It was the perfect place to show off Portland on my family’s last night in town. The outside seating is covered and heated. A little touch of France from beginning to end.
Started with Speakeasy Blues cocktail. Fries, mussels, pork chop, burger…. Would 10/10 recommend everything. So delish. A special occasion type place for us.
Les Français Seraient Gênés Don’t bother dining at this SE spot unless all you want is exceptional service, as only a few items we ordered were tasty and well-executed. Oysters: Overpriced and underwhelming given the Willapa oysters available all around the Portland area. Scallop Cru: Best thing I ate, but not worth the $21 for ONE thinly sliced scallop Radishes: Delicious, but anybody who isn’t a fan of salt would be disappointed. Gnocchi: The seemingly handmade gnocchis were well-formed and had potential, but were drowned by über salty sauce that was way too thick for the delicate pillows of potato. Steak: My sister and her hub ordered it. They said too salty and the cut of meat was not edible due to too much connective tissue.
Great happy hour! My favorite dishes here besides the classic mussels is the chicken liver mousseFood: 5/5
We had such an enjoyable evening at La Moule on Saturday. The service was spectacular and so happy and appreciative for words of good feedback... and everything from the small things like cocktails to the aioli were so good! Definitely check this gem out!
Excellent service. A beautiful craft-made Aviator drink at the bar by the talented bartender. Great atmosphere in the Clinton Community. I've been a few times and always love my experience.Food: 5/5
