    It was ok. Hubby had the knife and fork burger, which was overdone. I had the beet burger which was very tasty. Both came with frites which were dry and did not taste fresh. The vinaigrette on our simple greens salad was excellent. Service was ok and the staff were very nice. I don't mind spending a bit for a good meal but for this overall mediocre experience the price was high. The ambiance was nice, probably not enough to make me come back

    First of all, the cocktails were incredible. I had "Some Lavender" and the "Petite Tini." Both were aromatic, complex, well-balanced, and delicious. I suspect the others are, as well. For dinner I had the mushroom duxelles, which is definitely a mushroom-lover's paradise, followed by the Côte de Porc and cauliflower grenobloise. The porkchop was cooked perfectly and the cauliflower was crispy and tasty. Dessert was a glass of port and an espresso. 10/10, hope to visit this place again before I leave Indianapolis.

    We've had two outstanding visits here. The food is outstanding, the fries seem to be never-ending at times. The French onion soup is exemplary. Very great experiences with the staff as well. If there was one complaint, the lighting fits as a French bistro, but it is a little too dark to be really comfortable. A bit challenging to read the menu.

    I'm very sad to say this, but that was my second poor experience at Petite Cho inside of six weeks. This time the mussels were cold, overcooked and serves with broth, no dish for the shells, no fork for the mussels. Honestly, this is not your first rodeo. I want it to be my favorite place, but keeps letting me down.

    The food was very authentic and absolutely delicious! It was a busy evening and the wait staff was a little pressed, but we were well looked after, and enjoyed the waiters' recommendations on several cocktails and food items. A great French restaurant with an authentic European ambience.

    The food was good but our service was subpar. I am unlikely to return given that it was a bit pricy for what was a mixed (at best) experience.

    We celebrated my sister-in-law's 70th Birthday with 6 people at Petite Chou on Sat. Aug 19. Food and drinks were awesome. We had french fries as an appetizer and my goodness...they were so good! As a plant-based eater, I had the Beet Burger with the Summer Vegetable Tian and enjoyed every single bite. A large party joined us outside and we found the revelers to be extremely friendly and fun! Highly recommend Petite Chou!

    I just got back from a trip to Paris and was looking for some French nostalgia. The Lemon Tart cocktail was fabulous, mussels were DELICIOUS and served with the duck fat frites that can’t be missed. Pistachio cheesecake for dessert wasn’t too sweet and a perfect ending to dinner. Can’t wait to go back for half priced bottles of wine on Wednesday’s and more mussels!

    The food was great! This was our first time at a French restaurant, so we played it safe and ordered the chicken. It was so delicious. Seriously. The sauce was so great I could drown in it. Our friends ordered the steak and the rabbit and had nothing but great things to say.

    The moules were the best I have ever had. Broth was almost like a stew, thick and creamy. My wife had the chicken which she said was done to perfection. Yo cant beat fries cooked in duck fat. We had a wonderful bottle of Loire valley pinot noir. The service was very help and attentive. I highly recommend the place to anyone.

    Second time dining here, first time for dinner. Went on their fried chicken night. Got there at 7 PM and it was still available. I did notice that later reservations like 8:30PM, they started to run low so if you're there for that, make sure you go early. That being said, everything was delicious, chicken crispy but juicy. Sides delicious. Husband got the steak frites and polished off the whole plate -- their duck fat fries are always a win and steak cooked beautifully. Our waitress, manager, and the whole staff were super attentive, welcoming, and kind. The ambience for dinner is perfect for date night, especially the inside. Outdoor seating is very cute too for the summertime.

    This is a slight; however, important. Second time going and second time this has happened-we order steak rare. It always comes out around medium to medium well. Everything else is amazing! However, they seem to not be able master cooking red meet in general. And it can be very frustrating. Love Petite Chou. But for the love of god and food - learn how to cook steak or learn how to cook a different cut of steak. Please try a New York cut- it will definitely help.
