We had a truly delightful dining experience. Our server, George—originally from Champagne, France—was both informative and gracious. He took time to walk us through the menu, highlighting the nuances of each dish and what made them distinctly French. We started with the French onion soup and the cheese plate, both of which were rich and satisfying—so much so that we decided to share the beef stew for our main course. For dessert, we indulged in the mini doughnuts and chocolate mousse, both of which were decadent and beautifully presented. The entire evening unfolded at a relaxed, thoughtful pace, lasting nearly two hours and never feeling rushed. It was an authentic and memorable meal from start to finish. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favorites. The food is amazing, fresh , authentic. I go here regularly for pastries . I have had lunch and dinner several times. George waited on my table today for mother's day and he was wonderful and attentive . This place is top notch . Thank you George

I’m not French, so I can’t speak to the authenticity of the cuisine, but this isn’t Dunkin’ Donuts. Carefully curated confections that were a delightful little brunch snack. If I were to try and get close to France in spite of the distance, this would be a way to draw near.

Had a lovely meal here. Everything was tasty, had the chicken (slightly disappointed they were out of the pork chop with apple cabbage) a side of french fries and the baked apple tart. The chicken was very moist and flavorful, the french fries PERFECT, and the baked apple tart one of the best ever. Surprisingly, once inside, you don’t feel like you’re at a mall location. And Lucca was a fantastic server.

Fantastic! A very authentic feel to the atmosphere and decor. The pastries are delicious and the salmon bowl I had for lunch was truly amazing. I keep thinking about it. The crepes are also very good. You gotta give this place a try!

Visiting the area on business and finally got to come here. Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and a great variety of choices on the menu. I had the lobster bisque and the crispy warm goat cheese salad with pine nuts. It was delicious. Finished with a perfect Creme Brulee! I will definitely enjoy this dining experience again on my next visit.

I’ve been here for pastries a few times, and just came to try the sit-down bistro for the first time. WOW. Everything was fresh and delicious, simple yet elevated. The service was wonderful, too. My dad accidentally left his credit card behind, and they got my phone number from my reservation and called us within 2 minutes. The manager (or owner) was also on the floor, very attentive and kind. All of the servers knew their stuff and were friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to go back and try what I didn’t next time, and bring friends!

Far From France has some truly excellent dishes, it just depends what you order. The downside is the service. It’s consistently not attentive, and we’ve had to flag down the wait staff every time. Good food, but the experience doesn’t quite match.

I have been in search of a French bakery, and when I found this one, I was ecstatic. The place is adorable, providing a welcoming ambiance, and the food looked delicious. It's a little pricey but made up for with its taste. I can only speak about the peach pastry and the fruit tart that was really good. The staff was polite, but they didn't have a box for my fruit tart and put it in a brown bag, but they could have just ran out. I ate mine in my car and wished I could have practiced some of my French, but as mentioned before, the two items I did have were good. Thumbs 👍

We had a great meal at Far From France. In true French fashion, the dishes are rich and full of dairy (including no alternate milk options for coffee) but tasty and comforting. I absolutely loved my cappuccino and French onion soup but everything else was good as well! Our server was fantastic and checked on us frequently. Really the only major downside that will keep us from coming back more frequently is price. This brunch meal for 2 was about $75. I would still recommend going here for perhaps a special occasion meal though- it is definitely worth it if you can budget it!

The food itself wasn't bad, but I would definitely go back for just the bakery. I got a Nutella croissant, a raspberry croissant, and 3 macarons. The macarons all tasted great, but the croissants were pretty underfilled. The sides on the foods are pretty small. My Dad got the Croque Monsieur, and it said it came with a fruit salad, but when it came, it was in the smallest sauce cup I have ever seen.

Today was my first time visiting. I arrived at 2:35pm hoping to order one crepe to go. I spoke with three employees about ordering and only found out the kitchen had closed early after placing my order. Online it says the kitchen closes at 3pm, and since it was about a 25-minute drive for me, I wish there had been an update posted and clearer communication to staff so customers know before coming. I did try the leek and Parmesan pastry from the bakery part. It was just good… not very flavorful or memorable.

I love eating at this place but I do want to mention our most recent experience. We decided to join the folks at this restaurant for their Valentine's Day dinner (limited menu, prix fixe $90 per person). We were seated on time, at a nice little table against a wall and were enjoying ourselves very much when a hostess asked us to move out of the way so they could seat other guests in the outdoor seating. Our table was directly in front of the door to the outdoor seating! I asked the waitress if she would ask the manager to relocate us to a different table, as I did not want to get up and move every time the hostess or a waitress entered and returned, not to mention every time a customer went to the restroom. Eventually, I got up from my date with my wife to find the manager and after finding him I asked to be moved. He said it wouldn't be a problem because they were not seating anyone there currently, so I explained again that I didn't want to have to do this later and returned to my seat. Several minutes later, the same hostess stopped at our table again, apologized again but asked me to get up again so they could seat another table of patrons again. I explained I was told I would not have to do that again and asked to speak to the manager again. I explained again that it was inconsiderate to place a table in front of a door and expect a customer to to rise every time another customer needed to come through the door and I again told him if it was going to keep happening we would like to move. He said he would work something out for the customers and it wouldn't happen anymore but as he was leaving he said it would be good exercise though. My wife was offended because I am pretty overweight and she though it was meant as an insult. I asked her to give him the benefit of the doubt and not to be too worried about it because I wasn't going to let a little inconsiderate behavior ruin our night. I am including a photo of where our table was in relation to the door. So, long story short, I loved our waitress, the food, and our wine and drinks. I will probably go back and if our experience is better I will probably increase my rating.

My husband and I have wanted to try this restaurant for awhile. My husband made reservations for the Valentines Dinner to surprise me. They had a prefixed menu with a set price of $90 per person for the evening. We were greeted by the hostess when we came in and sat immediately, at the worst table in the restaurant. It was next to the door of the kitchen where staff were constantly coming in and out. Which in turn due to the tables location, put us in the way of staff trying to serve the other patrons. We had to constantly stand up to allow servers and patrons to get by. When we asked the hostess to be seated elsewhere, she said there was no other seating available. We decided to leave and asked to cancel our reservation. The manager did stop us as we were walking out the door to say there was another table available for us. We decided to stay. Food was subpar at the most. My cauliflower soup was cold and mushroom risotto was dry and flavorless. When we told a waitress (not our server) about the food being cold, she said she would let our server know, which she didn't. We asked to take our dessert to go. I will say, the bottle of wine we ordered was wonderful and felt our server was very attentive. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we will never go back. Edited to add: The desserts were fantastic!

Highly recommended by a friend. I made reservations for four 10:15am. Service and food was "Far" from what we imagine. Luke warm coffee and espresso, dry tasteless croissants sever offer to exchange however still not worth a mention. I have had better @ PC Java. About five tables being used not busy so you would think customer service would be more attentive with water, etc. Make sure you wear something of warmth air conditioner could and should have been adjusted due to cooler morning. Apple Annie's highly recommended for best croissants and bakery.

Wanted to love this place but…. The pastries lack flavor or freshness. I got the ratatouille the veggies I thought were either frozen or cooked with too much heat as it had zero flavor. Tasted like a watered down vegetable soup. I told them to take it back that how much I didn’t like it. Asked for a Caesar salad and the dressing was made with a strong lemony Caesar dressing. I COULD NOT GET THROUGH IT. My mom didn’t like anything but the quiche which was really good. The server was fine. I did have to get her a few times as she was always in the back of the kitchen. The worst unprofessional part of the experience was when the manager or owner asked us how it was. I told him It was ok the ratatouille tasted like maybe frozen vegetables. He sarcastically laughed and said we are French we don’t do anything frozen but ok whatever. Which I replied well don’t ask if you don’t really want to know and then get snippy when I tell you the honest truth after spend 30$ on bad tasting food. You would think his concern would be to make sure I had a better experience after letting him know we thought it was ok. I grew up with culinary chefs and I also have a garden with plenty of veggies. I know what flavor taste like and therefore I know what is lacking in flavor. This place isn’t worth the experience for the price.
