Me and my family have been patronizing Antoinette's for many years, and truly adore the restaurant. The food is always inventive, fresh and excellent. The service, which in recent years has been handled exclusively by chef/owner John Freitas, is also superlative. John is something of a local legend, avid fan of our local lacrosse scene, and an excellent example of a locally owned business chock full of character. As noted in the three categories, Decor is not an attribute John focuses upon, to his credit. John is about the food first and foremost, and creating a warm, welcoming environment for his patrons, not wasting resources on frivolous decor. The place is clean, and is serviceable, but don't expect to be wowed by a dazzling environment. If you want to eat in a pretty restaurant there are far better choices in town. Some people may be critical of Antoinette's, because the decor isn't up to their standards, but in my honest opinion John has prudently chosen to largely ignore the decor, because his food is so good that he doesn't need a gleaming facility to woo customers. Hopefully he'll be open on Memorial Day 2013, so we can celebrate my birthday there for dinner that night.
I think Paul Thomas was paid to write that review. I had no idea the place was open. It's looked terrible for years. There is a huge difference between not holding the decor as your number one priority and disrepair. The masonry is crumbling on the exterior and the interior looks like it hasn't been touched in a while. Just observations from looking at the outside of the building and through the front windows.
Great place!
