    Delicious brunch spot! Both the Stroganoff and Corned Beef Hash crepes were delicious, as were the sandwiches if you are looking for a lighter option. The restaurant is small but really cute, we loved the service and the ambiance.

    A wee slice of Paris right in Cherry Creek just makes sense. Came for lunch and really enjoyed the warm atmosphere, french decor, and prompt service. The variety of the cheese plate was impressive. The crab and avocado salad was also very good. All around good experience!

    Amazing French restaurant! I ordered a chicken liver appetizer and a trout. The chicken liver is very savory and goes well with the crackers. The trout is well-processed. Not a single bone can be found. The sauce adds more flavor to the fish.

    I wish I could give 10 stars. This is my favorite restaurant in Denver. I have eaten here over a dozen times and find any reason to do so. Every dish is delicious and perfectly made. The service is impeccable and every employee is respectful, charismatic, and punctual with their check ins. I couldn’t recommend a place to get amazing food more. La Merise is the standard for high quality dining in Denver, much more the country!!! You guys rock!!!

    La Merise is a cute little French restaurant I've been to for brunch and dinner. The atmosphere is lovely and service was great. Brunch was delicious. I ordered a savory crepe which was heavenly. The endless mimosa deal was superb. Dinner was fine. Prices jumped a bit and the quality of food was just decent. My biggest complaint, which is really why I only give it 4 stars, is the price I paid for the house wine. I paid $36 for a bottle of La Vieille de Ferme red wine. If you recognize that, it's because it's the bottle on the bottom shelf of the value wine section at your local liquor store. I went online to learn that it retails for $6.97. That is a 500% mark up. I understand you need to make a profit, but most online sources say the standard mark up is between 200-300%. A twist off wine bottle for $36 is plain insulting. For a French restaurant, y'all could stand to improve your wine list.

    Something about the atmosphere was so romantic. The drinks were great, but my food (Lamb burger) was a bit dry.

    Photo shown are the French onion soup, beef bourguignon, and a chocolate mousse. Make sure you call in reservations! This was my first time here and I absolutely fell in love with it. The wait staff was very friendly oh, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming and homey feeling, and the food was to die for. Everything was amazing and seasoned perfectly. Probably the best french onion soup I've ever had. The beef bourguignon was top-notch as well as the moose. Highly recommend this place to anybody wanting to try something new or to explore French cuisine!

    Came in for a Saturday day brunch. I can tell this place is a neighborhood favorite from the customers that were coming in. The interior is nicely decorated and there’s ample seating outside as well. The bar counter also looked amazing to just sit and soak up the vibe. As for the food, everything was nicely executed 👍 bread was warm and crispy as well. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

    Great French restaurant that you definitely need reservations for. Went for brunch with my friend and we both loved our crêpes entrees, Seafood and Stroganoff. We also had the Pâté Maison which was very tasty and a must!

    Love this place. Cute little French restaurant with great food and drinks. Really good crepes and a nice patio as well in the heart of cherry creek. We’ve now been twice and will go each time we’re in town.

    What a wonderful place and we will be back. Our server was incredible, thank you for your service and hard work! We had the chefs special. Grouper and the veal chop. Probably one the most memorable meals I’ve had in the past decade. Good job! Le Magnifique 👌🏼

    What a charming place! I came for lunch and I have been hosted by a very sweet, professional and friendly waitress and staff. Started by half a dozen oysters, continued with the amazing mussels and fries and finishing with the banana and chocolate crepe. Everything was fabulous, unfortunately I couldn’t try everything so I will definitely come back for more!! Thank you so much for everything.

    First off, the service is fantastic. Very lovely servers, creating a pleasant ambiance for a busy place. In terms of food: Boeuf bourguignon is superb! The cheese platter is great. The trout was really good. French onion soup was nice. Yummy mousse au chocolat! Only minus a star because the steak frites didn’t really impress me considering it’s a simple dish and a staple in France . The steak didn’t have a good texture or flavour (didn’t feel filet mignon like and also was overcooked). And the French fries were just okay. For a French place in the USA, it is nice.

    Very good but not quite great. A group of six of us went there for Denver restaurant week and all ordered off the pre fixe menu. Mussels à la Marinière, French onion soup, Chicken Croquettes, Trout Grenobloise, and Beef Bourguignon. Of these the stars were the chicken, beef, and French onion soup. These were rich, flavorful, well balanced and nicely plated. The fish and muscles were good but not outstanding. While well cooked they were somewhat bland. One thing I noticed about the muscles is that there were a few served that were not opened (don't eat). Sending out unopened muscles to a customer is a HUGE no no. It is not a big deal for the chef to pull out any unopened shells. The setting is very nice. Warm and inviting although a little loud for me. The service was excellent. Overall, for a pre fixe menu/price it was a good value. However, I think their normal prices would be somewhat high for the associated quality. But...It is Cherry Creek.

    Came in for business and was in the mood for lamb, looked this place up and I wasn't disappointed. The service food and atmosphere was great.
