The Scene – Petite Auberge's French-country design is in high contrast to the surrounding strip-mall landscape. The formal dining room is bathed in a golden light, with curling chandeliers, white-clothed tables and black-leather booths. Regulars rely on solid service from this family business. – – The Food – Classic French and German comfort food is the staple of this old-school eatery. Expect standards like escargot, coq au vin and filet mignon, as well as Bavarian favorites like Wiener schnitzel, bratwurst and roast pork on sauerkraut. Count on hearty homemade…

Old School Fabulous

Petite Auberge is a nice place. If you are looking for a young, hip kind of joint, this is not it. But, if you want to sit back and enjoy a kind of glamour that usually doesn't exist in newer restaurants, this is a good place. It's older: the staff, the guests, and the dining room; but it's NICE and has, overall, a very warm, comforting atmosphere. This is not a chain restaurant, and the wait staff is not required to be over the top and make you feel special. If you want to feel special, call your grandmother. This place is great.
Petite Auberge has a French-slash-German menu, but don't expect them to yoddle to you or teach you one of the respective languages--it's a restaurant. I had lunch there on a Thursday. I was served bread and soup. Then I had veal, which was really a Wiener schnitzel. It was good. It came with a nice potato salad, some broccoli, and half of a slightly roasted tomato. I was full afterwards. The bread pudding really is good. You get four slices; it's moist and is covered in a very yummy, warm caramel sauce.
I'm sure there's an Applebee's or over-the-top trendy place nearby, whichever end of the line you fall. Petite Auberge older, laidback, and classy. Highly recommended.
- Pros: good atmosphere

The waiter makes passes at me... oh, am I supposed to be impressed!
The food is below mediocre. let's compare it to a buffet quality. This is not french nor is it good.
- Pros: Gee , a bartender /waitress with tatoos alll over her body.
- Cons: Lousy food that is not french no matter what they call the restaurant.

You need to re visit this restaurant - it has declined in food and service
by jktd
First visit and most forgettable. Oscar who was recommended, very occupied with apparently regular customers and little or no time for us. We were rushed through the meal - not as if they needed the table. Restaurant not crowded. We tried to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner but were rushed into ordering - food appeared almost immediately . Veal marsala smothered in unknown salty sauce - pasta clumped onto plate in one sticky mass . I even question whether what I was served and charged for was actually real veal cutlet. Coffee ordered and 2 cups just placed on the edge of the table - we had to move them in front of us ourselves Would suggest people who raved about the restaurant re-visit it. There was absolutely nothing gourmet about this place. I taught hotel restaurant management for many years and I speak with a knowledge of the business . I realize the economy is bad but there are other ways to economize. Give your patrons especially first timers good food and service so they will return. We will never do so.
- Cons: poor serv ice - terrible food
