Reviews for La Belle Aurore in Niantic, CT
Three people-three dishes and all the food was burnt!!! Ruined our birthday celebration. The servers were walking around... aimlessly. The waitress asks us what to drink before we even sat down and with no menu. The bread was so hard. The last thing tobe served was a cup of tea that took forever to receive it took longer than the food to arrive. Horrible experience... Read more
Actually the best place in town, very cute, creative plates, great service, and tons of cute things to add into your kitchen.... Also does take away for during the weeknights. An all around great spot! Read more
Had dinner for 5 people. Everything was cooked to perfection. Incredibly fresh. Is there is something I don?t like or can?t eat,... usually can alter for me because everything is cooked to order. Peach burrata appetizer was incredible. Scallops cooked toperfection. French Mac and cheese was an adult twist on a classic. Yum. Read more
Spectacular! My wife and I enjoyed this little place immensely. The service was friendly, charming, attentive, and real. It was... like eating at a friend's house. And then the food: My wife had the sautéed veggies, shitake mushrooms, and tofu over rice.Outstanding and I was happy she shared it with me. I had the duck over swiss chard and the thinnest, crispiest, most flavorfulfried potatoes ever in the history of potato cooking. We also loved the mussels which were left to simmer in a garlic broth tobring out their natural taste instead of smothering them in some sauce. The buttery toast that went with them was pure delicioussin when dipped in the broth. The chocolate mousse was as good as we have ever had. So happy that an eatery featuring suchnatural goodness exists. Read more
After attending a baby shower at La Belle Aurore, I had reached out to them to have my rehearsal dinner for my wedding at their... restaurant. The process from start to finish was impeccable. Dawn was so responsive and accommodating to the needs of myguests and budget while holding up to the best quality in food and service. She helped come up with a menu that everyone lovedand created a beautiful atmosphere for our dinner. It was truly a collaborative process and Dawn was highly professional andorganized throughout. She was also welcoming to my nephews who were the ring bearers and made them a kids menu item that kepteveryone happy. The food was incredible with fresh vegetables, responsibly sourced meats and tasty desserts(their chocolatemousse is to die for!). We can?t wait to visit this restaurant again. Thank you Dawn and the staff at La Belle Aurore! Read more
Just enjoyed a Steak and Stout Pie from La Belle at Home. Beef was so tender and comforting for cold night. What a gem to give... us a fresh ?home cooked? meal without the mess. Thank you!!! Read more
Had the eggs Benedict and squash blossom omelette. Both were outstanding. The coffee is great, and their cold brew is especially... good. This is a must-visit brunch stop if you're in the area! Read more
