Restaurant inside was full with s large group and the waiter seemed really stressed and sweaty. After perusing the menu we questioned the waiter about how the menu was different to that on the fork. To that the waiter cut me off and flatly said..."wrong menu!, did you look at our website or Facebook?" Obviously, I expected the menu to be that which is listed on the fork. Taken aback by how rude he was I said, "we'll take the bill (for the drinks)" to that he said he would get the owner. She tried hard to get us to stay but on principle they don't deserve our business.More

We had a wonderful dinner here on Wednesday evening celebrating my sons 16th birthday. Every meal was delicious. Even my fussy 12 year old ate everything on her plate! Steaks were cooked perfectly. The ambience is lovely and staff so friendly and welcoming. Looking forward...to returning on Christmas Day!More

We were in town for a conference where we have an annual meeting at a fine dining restaurant. The French table fits the bill perfectly. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. We had a very good time and I highly recommend...it for those staying in the Cleveland area.More

This was our first lunch at The French Table but not our first visit. It has become our local 'go to' French restaurant for dinner since living in the Cleveland area. With a small but seasonally changing menu and good wine list it is intimate...and the service is personal and friendly. We visit 2 or more times a month. The house parfait de canard is delish as is the French onion soup, coquilles saint Jaques, and market fish served with roasted Prevencale crushed potatoes. And they serve the best Creme Brulee ever. Easy to find and very easy to park, they offer inside or outside dining, locally grown and sourced seafood and vegetables and the staff are full of personality. A top restaurant to make 'your local'.More

Usually have a fabulous meal here and I tend to get the truffle gnocchi but tonight I ubered it and it was completely inedible. The gnocchi was mush. Basically like mashed potato. Last time I ate in the restaurant it was a little mushy aswell...but the sauce is lovely so I went along with it. But this time I have taken a few bites but I just cant do it. Gnocchi should at least have some shape to it. Ive requested a refund from uber.More

Not quite Bastille Day but we were still able to choose from the Bastille Day specials. There were only two of us and we chose from the regular menu as well. All the food was excellent. The staff were attentive without being too intrusive. Clearly...some were in training but others kept a good eye on us. The seafood entree had so much flavour in the sauce. Both the mains were cooked to perfection. The desserts were delicious, and for an assembled Tarte Tatin it was delicious and had great flavour.More

There’s few places to eat in Cleveland, so after eating at The French Table, it’s definitely a local restaurant you want to put on your list. The prices are on the high side, which I would usually complain about because you rarely get value these...days, but honestly it is priced well, as the food is fresh and tastes immaculate. You are paying for quality. Having never had French cuisine before, it was a new experience for my mum and I, and we both left very happy with our food. I ordered the Duck, and my mum had steak (not their actual names, sorry I have forgotten) - both were delicious. Our booking was exactly on open and we did wait quite awhile for our food. At least 30-45mins, however they apologised and stated there were a few issues physically opening up the store. We still had a good time, and the service despite the hiccup was excellentMore

We have been to The French Table often over the years but it had been a while and it is evident it has changed hands since our last visit (which could only be described as mediocre). We enjoyed a lovely evening with stunning food and...great service. The atmosphere in this little gem is warm and friendly. My scallops were beautifully cook as was my partners steak. The menu is small which means everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Certainly a great asset to the bayside which is devoid of good restaurants. Great job guys keep it upMore

We celebrated my 50th birthday at the French Table and the evening exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food was superb and every course was delicious. As a Gluten Free diner I was in 7th heaven with the quality of the toasted baguette and...the special attention given to my food. The service was exceptional. Thank you, we will be back and look forward to recommending you to our family and friends.More

Went today for Lunch with family and couldn't be happier. Menu was wonderful and food amazing. Had snails for the first time not sure what I was expecting but very good. Pork belly and beef Luch specials were also had. Fantastic service as well. I'm...assuming the owner and. 2 X young wait staff were great, customer service outstanding and were happy and attentive without being over anxious. Overall great experience and will definitely do againMore

I have dined here a few times now and the food is always of a high standard. Every meal I gave eaten has been very tasty and the meat so succulent it melts in your mouth. Would thoroughly recommend the French Table-in Cleveland.
