    I have wanted to dine at Le Colonial for many years and was not disappointed in the experience! It was a wonderful meal with a well informed wait staff. We were seated in the first room after the host’s desk, which resembled a screened in porch. The other rooms were beautiful with different themes. The only difficulty we had was choosing between the delicious entrees, appetizers and sides. We’ll just have to come back!
