GREAT TIME last night at Aboyer (Thurs. 5-23-2024)! The food was spectacularly delicious, fresh and flavorful, plus beautifully presented! Loved the escargot and goose foie gras appetizers; the rack of lamb and sausage entree; and the lemongrass cheesecake dessert!!! My friend loved her steak! The sides of puréed potatoes and green beans were fantastic too! Our server - Stephanie - was wonderfully accommodating, personable, knowledgeable and professional! Angel did a great job keeping our water glasses filled and table cleared of any unneeded dishes and glasses! We will definitely be back! Been dining here since the George Trois days in 2016/2017! Love the current interior design of the restaurant too-- so glad they got rid of that nauseating swirly wall mural that used to be in the main dining room!! Wonderful to have also seen my favorite, long-time Alfredo too! Hope co-owner Sergio is back soon!!!

I dined here on a FREEZING, sub-zero Sunday night on Valentine's Day! My friend and I were here for almost 4 hours and we ended up being the last ones in the restaurant! We obviously had a GREAT time!! For appetizers we shared the Artisan Cheese platter, while she herself had the scallops; I had the goose foie gras appetizer! For entrees, she had the filet of beef with foie gras; I had the Dover Sole with lobster sauce and Chinese black rice pilaf. For sides, we each had their ethereal, mind-blowing mashed potatoes (Pomme Purée) and haricot vert. For dessert, the kitchen made her a special customized apple crumble-like dessert with additional fruit which she absolutely LOVED, while I had the Cherry Panna Cotta. My favorite, long-time server Alfredo even served us a nice bottle of Aubry Champagne and brought out an awesome chocolate birthday plate for me (since I wasn't able to make it here for my birthday last month)! Overall, the entire meal and experience were beyond EXCELLENT--which is why we shut the place down that wickedly cold night!! I've dined here at least 5 or 6 times in 2020 and have had a WONDERFUL time each time with my friends! If you live in the 'burbs and don't want to make the long, arduous schlep to the city and risk getting carjacked and killed for top notch French cuisine--just dine here!! The fine staff at Aboyer will take good care of of you and treat you to fine North Shore hospitality! In fact, I'm planning on returning this coming weekend!!
