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 Marshall

Last 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-Snyder

To 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.

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
