Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update for July 2, 2020
It is with much regret that we announce Le Chene French Cuisine will again temporarily close its doors starting 7/2/2020. This is due to the recent mandates by our governor on July 1, 2020.
Gift certificates are still available for purchase on our website or over the phone at 661-251-4315. We will also continue to post any updates as they come.
We sincerely thank all of you who dined with us these last few weeks during our reopen, and we are truly grateful for your continued support and patronage during these trying times.
No Need to Travel to France to Dine in a Country Inn by the Side of the Road
As my husband and made our way through the front entrance, I found a warm, cozy atmosphere filled with delicious scents of fresh baked bread and European coffee. Arriving half an hour early for our dinner reservation, we made our way straight to the bar. Stored in open view, were a wide variety of spirits to choose from.
Decorated in French Country, the dining room was comfortable, yet elegant. Soft lights white linens, pretty floral china, and a forest green carpet created an intimate setting. Knotty pine beam ceilings and an oversized stone fireplace added warmth to the cozy atmosphere. A rustic view of oak trees could be seen throughout the room filled with large French windows.
Owner and chef, Juan Alonso welcomed us to his restaurant. We were intrigued to hear him tell his story of the history behind LeChene. Originally built by and English couple in the early 1900s, this place was once a bikers bar and pool hall named The Oaks. In 1980, Juan moved from France and bought The Oaks turning it into a little restaurant with the name Le Chene. (French for The Oaks). Over the years, he has remodeled, expanded, and gradually turned his restaurant into a popular Country Inn – well known for its weddings, parties and gourmet French Cuisine.
We were given an impressive wine list that would appeal to any wine connoisseur and has been voted Best of Award of Excellence by the Wine Spectator. The restaurant offers over 900 different wines to choose from, mainly known for its Californian and French selections. There is a wine to satisfy anyones taste with prices ranging from $9 to $200 per bottle. Exotic dinner menus were delivered to each table side, neatly handwritten on small antique chalkboards. Our waitress explained the dishes of our interest, giving details of how they were prepared. Items such as: Ostrich Medallions, Buffalo rib eye, Calamari Abalone, Duck Amaretto, and Venison Poivrade were offered, along with more simple, but just as impressive choices of various steak and seafood entrees.
By the end of the evening, we were pleasantly stuffed. The combination of rich food, excellent service, and lovely atmosphere made for a wonderful evening. We were very happy we left the kids at home; the menu, prices and atmosphere were definitely geared towards adults.Le Chene has been voted Most Romantic by Daily News and LA Magazine. I will certainly add it to the top of my list: A delicious taste of France, not too far from home!

Miss you.


For an anniversary dessert, they brought us a slice of tiramisu and we had already put in our order at the time that we ordered dinner for our special dessert: A Grand Marnier soufflé.







The staff was very accommodating, and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again....
Thank you















⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5 stars.
























Juan is more than wonderful!






Had the Filet Mignon Au Poivre wish came with Potatoes Au Gratin and Zucchini. It was very good, perfectly cooked and the sauce was savory. Wife had an appetizer for dinner, Lobster Ravioli, which was a generous portion, and she enjoyed very much. Ordered the Chocolate Souffle early and it was beautiful and excellent, served with chocolate sauce on the side. The house further spoiled us with a White Chocolate Mousse Wedge. What a treat! Never had that before.
Naturally, a place like this it's not a budget conscious restaurant. But I can say it was worth every penny. The food was excellent.
Now for the service. We were somewhat disappointed that they had a very young waiter that wasn't familiar with the wine list and able to provide any guidance. Not that we couldn't decide on a bottle ourselves, however it's always a plus to have either a knowledgeable server or somm to get the best pairings. Other than that and maybe a little more attention to empty water glasses, he was great. Perhaps it was because we went on a not so busy Tuesday.
The ambiance is average. I'm not sure that I'd call it romantic, especially if it was uber busy.
Recommended, but for the food, mostly.






Loved the salmon and my husband loved the steak!! We'll go back soon... �










One of my favorites is still the French Onion Soup! And anything with Bearnaise Sauce...lol! Always a plethora of choices for any palette. Le Chene is worth the drive. Try it, you will like it!


















We will back soon and hungry!

















Tasty dinner, and I did not leave hungry.















































We had a lovely conversation with the owners who seem like genuinely nice people. All in all, it was a home run for my husband!!!
