We celebrated my birthday here and I am so happy I chose this restaurant. Every item of food we ordered was delicious, our server Kenny took great care of us and the ambience was wonderful. The menu was just right with the different food items offered. It was not complicated and easy to order from. I hope to revisit again and recommend it to our family and friends. My husband and I enjoyed the evening so much and I was served a chocolate cake with a lighted candle. Love the name Lapinou.

Fantastic experience. We had the chicory salad, venison carpaccio, and the rib eye with red wine sauce. They were all exceptional. I would really recommend the venison carpaccio. Might be the best carpaccio I ever had. They also play some really nice music.

We had an amazing date night out at Lapinou. We'd never been and were in town for the weekend following recommendations, and it was a lovely evening. The staff were very accommodating when traffic made us pretty late for our reservation, and the service was charming, attentive, and helpful. The food is absolutely incredible - we're still talking about the sliders, and the cocktail menu was full of fun and exciting new things to try.

Good ambiance, nice drinks. Generally, food tastes really good. However, outside of the salad, food portions are quite small, even items they note to share.

Did not find that the price for the set menu was worth it. Was also misled based on the OpenTable booking and being there in person. It was 1 appetizer, 1 main, and 1 dessert in person, whereas OpenTable made it seem like a full tasting menu. Not worth the value at all.

We ordered the salad and venison carpaccio for starters, steak frites and bourballion as mains, the paris brest for dessert. This was for the Valentine's menu. Overall, the food didn't taste as good as we would've liked, the steak was a bit undercooked for medium rare, the bourballion just didn't taste good and wasn't cooked well. For the price, it wasn't worth it.

While the service and our waiter was amazing! The value of the food was extremely poor. For $110, “the valentine’s day menu”, patrons were provided 1 singular oyster, a sample size of either carpaccio, salad, or soup. The main course was either steak frites (steak was being churned out by their kitchen with no regard to quality), a small seafood broil, or a pasta dish that we did not try. Dessert was mediocre at best. Extremely disappointed by the quality and value of the food! Lapinou has no business charging premium rates for unappetizing food.
