We held an event for 40 and were located in the private room upstairs. The staircase is off Bank Street, behind the restaurant. What a meal, experience, the whole package. The service team was top notch and we received rave reviews from our guests about the food, atmosphere, and service. Thanks team, and we look forward to our next time.

The #1 best thing about the restaurant was having Hugo as our server. Besides the food and drinks being absolutely wonderful, Hugo made our overall experience fantastic. He recommended dishes that I never would have tried. When you go, make sure you ask for the Hugo Experience

Best place to eat in Lake Forest. Hugo showed exemplary service. The way dining should be at any quality restaurant. Thank you guys for the food. I won’t be eating for the next few days.

This place was absolutely amazing. I had HUGO as my server I came here back in June. The restaurant is absolutely stunning and the Drinks were top-tier my family enjoyed the drinks. I will definitely be coming back five stars for sure. The service was amazing but HUGO he had to be one of the best servers I’ve ever had. What a sweetheart great personality. You guys are lucky to have him! I was having some appetizers waiting for my friend to get to the restaurant and he kept me company. What a great time!!

I was very pleasantly surprised by my dining experience here! The lunch menu isn't too large or overwhelming but has such a great variety of dishes to choose from. You can mix and match small and large plates if you'd like to share a few with the table. I really love that there's the option for a small or large bowl of pho in case you don't want to make that your main course. The atmosphere is excellent and the service is great. I noticed there's also a very sweet patio which I'm sure is gorgeous when weather permits. I'd definitely recommend the tuna tartar, I really enjoyed their spin on it and the mocktails are delish!

i threw a surprise birthday party for my wife october 5th. Paige L. was my banquet manager and she was a class act. very accommodating with my schedule and specific dietary restrictions. she curated a fantastic menu and wine list. got my guests in early and made the party memorable. even the day of, she was flexible with our guests needs and accommodated last minute requests. Excellent Banquet manager !!!!

Le Colonial Lake Forest provided a delightful anniversary dining experience. Our waiter, Jonathan, was exceptional, offering impeccable service. The ambiance was charming, and the cuisine was exquisite, making our celebration truly memorable. Highlights included the excellent cocktails and the seafood bouillabaisse as well as the branzino.

Excellent service amazing ambience and food was exceptional. Your definitely not making any of this food at home. 5 stars all day

The food and service are nice, and the interior of the restaurant is cool too. However, this place is pretty pricey, and better Vietnamese food can be found elsewhere. I'd say this restaurant is pretty nice, but kinda forgettable.

Delicious. Have never really been to an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Everything we had was so delicious and I was excited to eat the leftovers! Came here to celebrate a birthday on a week night and everyone enjoyed their meal. The steak as cooked perfectly and every dish had balance. Often find this cuisine can be too salty but never felt that wag here. Nice staff, insightful. Will be back to check out the Chicago location!
