    We really enjoyed our meal at Chez Noir. The staff was excellent. They took our coats upon arrival and were great about checking in on us. They gave us some great information about the dishes to help guidance our decisions. The cocktails and food were excellent, with the exception of the fish dish. The fish missed the mark. This was disappointing, considering the cost of the meal and the fact that it's a main course. Everything else was excellent. We loved the additional touches, like the light "snack" they gave us before our meal, the chocolate chip cookies we received before leaving, as well as Caneles right after our meal.

    Went early on Halloween. Staff were very friendly. Specialty drink and calamari for appetizer. Drinks were well poured. Calamari was good and the sauces were great. Both entrees were delicious; chicken marsala and Mama's Bolognese. Chocolate torte and bread pudding were a terrific finish.
