Loved the ambience of Aquitaine. Our server was able to recommend some wines for us to try before deciding which bottle to get. The escargot was the highlights of my meal. The duck breast was also very good. Chocolate chip bread pudding was to die for.

May 3, 2025: I went with friends for brunch and while the food was fantastic, the server was very slow. After the server brought the tab to our table, she returned several minutes later only to say that she forgot to add the coffee to the tab. She took away the tab and then brought back a new one. My friend looked over the tab and noticed that there were two charges for coffee and two charges for orange juice, but we had only ordered one coffee and one orange juice. So the server basically double charged us on the drinks. Fortunately we brought this to her attention and she removed the duplicates. However, I just want people to be careful. The eggs Benedict are excellent here. One of my friends got the pancakes and my other friend got the mushroom truffle eggs Benedict. I got the regular eggs Benedict. We were all happy with our meal. Old review: Outstanding food, service, and ambiance. The duck entree was fabulous. Weekend brunch is a great value.

Another place I have tried for brunch. I’ve tried the skillet scramble, the avocado tartine, and the french toast, and they are all delicious. The skillet scramble with the boursin might be the best scrambled eggs I have ever had in my life, and the taste makes up for the small portion size. The avocado tartine and the french toast were good sizes, and the french toast was especially delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very cute and felt classy and refined. I am curious to try this place for dinner as well, and will definitely try to come back here at some point!

Celebrated a very special milestone - my citizenship anniversary - at Aquitaine on Tremont Street, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our server David truly made the experience extraordinary. His energy, attention to detail, and genuine kindness elevated what was already a meaningful day into something truly memorable. Gimena was also wonderful and added to the exceptional service throughout our meal. For lunch, we enjoyed the truffle omelet (absolutely divine - perfectly executed with just the right amount of truffle), fresh mussels that were beautifully prepared, and the duck sandwich which was outstanding. Every dish showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality French cuisine. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and the warm atmosphere made this citizenship anniversary celebration one I'll never forget. A special thank you to David - your dedication to making guests feel special doesn't go unnoticed! Highly recommend Aquitaine for any special occasion. We'll definitely be back!.

Beautiful seating and ambience. Great for lunch and dinner. The service and food was excellent. The bacon arrived a little overcooked and they replaced it immediately. The croque Madame was very filling. Too heavy for me. We prefer the malted Belgian waffle and french toast.

I went here recently with a friend, and everything was absolutely amazing. To the service, the ambience and the food, everything all around was great. I got the steak frites and it was cooked to perfection and my friend got the duck that I got to try and it was amazing as well. Savannah was our server and she was so sweet and very attentive. She recommended me a gin based cocktail that I loved. Will be back soon!:)
