Customer Testimonials
We had an opportunity to dine at Le Chene for my daughter’s birthday and I was shocked. The most elegant and nourishing food I have had in California, thus far. No one in the high desert ever mentioned this jewel that is so close. I have mentioned in less than a week, to 10 people, this diamond in the rough. My wife had the Seafood Pasta and I must ask for the recipe, for all of the flavors came alive with every bite. If you decide to offer a military discount, I will be a spokesperson for Le Chene, but until then I will continue to spread the word unless you would like for the jewel to stay a secret!
Calvin MarshallLast Tuesday we celebrated our anniversary, it was a wonderful experience, delicious food with a variety menu, great service and amazing drinks! A highly recommend romantic destination.
Tita Frech-SnyderTo Juan, his management team, and the wonderful staff who made my parent’s Anniversary Party a success – thank you, thank you.
Being a restaurant professional for over 30 years, I am qualified to say that everyone was exceedingly professional yet personal, kind and attentive. The lead server Sherry (please forgive me if I misspelled her name) was more than we could have asked for, and played a key role in the evening’s success.
I also wish to mention your kitchen. Many times with large parties there’s an assembly-line quality that unfortunately reflects in the plates going out. Not so with your restaurant. Every plate looked like it was ordered off the menu, and that impressed not only myself, but our guests as well. I thank you.
If anyone from Le Chene is in Sherman Oaks, please feel free to see me at The Local Peasant. It would be my pleasure to extend every professional courtesy to anyone who contributed to this event that was so very important to my family and me.

Visited January 20, 2017. The black bean soup and duck salad were divine. The bouillabaisse, however, not so great. Frozen crab, shrimp, scallops...and the broth base tasted like water with cut up tomatoes. Very very expensive, very very sub par. Service was fine. Maitre 'd tried to seat us right next to the only other occupied table and seemed put off when we requested a different table. This was my third time there. Maybe the last.

My husband and I have been to LeChene a few times and we always have great food there. On holidays and special occasions such as Valentine's Day they do work from a set menu so the food comes a little slower, but the overall experience has always been very good for us.

Beautiful restaurant Mom Chloe chose, where we had dinner last night, celebrating David's Father's Day. I highly recommend it! There is a large courtyard and garden with frogs too. Dishes I recommend are the Duck Pate, Escargo, All the seafood dishes. The white chocolate with dark chocolate type dessert (forget the name), the Creme Brulee, if you want the Souflee, make sure to let the waiter know and order it before you order your dinner, becuase it takes an hour to make and they can't do it if you wait to order dessert. Also, they will accommodate children who don't yet have the taste buds for French Cuisine. They made pasta with butter that my daughter requested.

Equal to or better than many Beverly Hills steak joints. The filet with roquefort is always amazing. Also need to mention the prices are reasonable and great wine list too.

So as to not fall in the trap of complaining, I submit my review hoping that the items I feel fell short of acceptable will be accepted by Le Chene as constructive criticism.
My dinner was absolutely excellent, I enjoyed the Elk Chop in Cranberry immensely. I would have enjoyed the experience considerably more if I had not felt totally rushed to finish and exit. I could barely set my utensil down and a hand was reaching to take my plate. One could say - "Great Service".. Once could also say, please! give me a second to enjoy that last bite.
Last thought - Please, find and hire at least one French Chef - Authenticity goes a long ways.
Bottom Line - Really nice place to eat, love the menu choices.

This is a great restaurant serving French cuisine tucked away in a great location. The food is always exceptional, the wine list is incredible, the service is always the best, and the owners are truly committed to every patron! The short drive is more than worth it!

Visiting cousins in Palmdale, this is where we went. Not the best nor worse. The staff should get a ten rating! Really could not compare to home. (the food that is).

Went last night to celebrate my 51st birthday. Like I have for the past few years. Started off with escargot, then the mushroom soup, I wanted more. The dinner salad with the vinaigrette. Main course the ribeye with bone in melt-in-your-mouth delicious and then ended with a chocolate souffle. Heaven

Classic place with classic French dishes. A huge wine menu, a full bar, and an espresso machine. What more could I ask for?
Oh yeah, how about friendly bartenders and great customer service? Theu have that too. We also met the owner and his wife. Very nice people.
We will be going back whenever we are in the area.

My truck caught on fire on the Sierra Highway and I had no phone service. It was afterhours and the restaurant was closed but I went behind and asked for help and the owners son and employees all ran out like true heroes and helped me extinguish the fire.
I offered to give them money but they refused. They did it out of kindness and good will. I asked them for a business card and they gave me one to their restaurant.
I asked how the food was and they said that it was the best around. I knew I could believe them because they just stopped a catastrophe without charge.
So the next day I was hungry and I wanted to try this best food around and I went there and the service is just as excellent as the heroes.
The owner is warm and inviting. For the quality of restaurant the prices are even quite reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone.
It might be slightly higher than most are used to but the prices aren't far from Red Lobster. You only live once so I would recommend living a little and experience the finest.

5 different dishes, all excellent (pricing of each dish around $35). Wine was very good. Parker (server) was well informed and very attentive. A really nice overall experience. Will definitely return!

First time having authentic French food. It was very good. I had frog legs and they were very tasty. We also tried the rabbit, which had the texture of pulled pork, also very delicious. Would recommend as a nice date place when you're in the mood for something different.

the food was great and very delicious, the only thing i did not like is the waitress that served us, we were about 15 people, she forgot to put the order in for one of the guests, also she put my ordered dinner plate in front of the other guest even though she had just asked who has what. she has no smile on her face, i was more polite and was thanking her and had a smile on my face..than her. I don't think she enjoys what she is doing, you can tell she is not a happy person. otherwise i strongly recommend this place.

The food is amazing and be aware pretty big portions. I cant wait to come back and try more stuff. The bad part for me is their huge menu, makes it very hard for me to make a decision. The restaurant it self has very unique layout.

Delicious food. Writing this review the awesome flavor of their rack of lamb is tickling in my brain. Not the best visual presentation on the plate, not the fanciest decor, but oh yeah the food is solid. The servers have this down to earth bro feeling which is pretty cool. Totally recommend.

I've been here at least 6 times. The wait staff is friendly. The food is pricey. On my latest visit the sauce on my veal shank was too salty and seemed out of balance with the rest of the plate. The broccoli puree was too salty as well, but the baby carrots were perfect. However, baby carrots should not exist on an upscale French cuisine plate. The veal itself was tender and flavorful, thank goodness. I ordered cream of cauliflower soup which was outstanding. I may think twice about coming back because the chef must be getting old tastebuds if he thinks the food is balanced for an experienced palate.
