Le Colonial

This place is aesthetically pleasing in every way!  The French-Vietnamese food is good but the atmosphere is what makes this place really special.  Giant shutters, potted palms and antiqued tile ceilings made us feel like we were on vacation in the tropics.  BEAUTIFUL!!! 

Le Colonial is definitely the perfect backdrop for a romantic date.... but, tonight, it was the perfect spot for dinner with my girls!  =)
