    The best escargot we've ever had. Intimate setting, French music, amazing cuisine.. We've traveled the world, literally, are self defined food and wine snobs, our many world class chefs would agree, Joelle's IS world class cuisine!!!

    I took my girl friend here for Valentine's Day and it was well worth it! Their food is spectacular and the service was some of the best I've ever had. I thought it was very nice that the owner would take the time to talk to all of his customers, I'll be coming back sometime very soon. I love their escargot as well as everything else they have!

    This is our favorite restaurant, hands down. The service is superb, and I always wish Alain would just sit with us and tell his wonderful stories. But of course he has other guests, and they must be treated with his deft and gracious touch as well. He and his staff ensure that Joelle's fabulous food is enjoyed in their beautiful and relaxed environment. Our favorite is the steak and frites, with pepper sauce. With so many other enticing menu and special items, one could overlook the steak as ordinary. It is not. Perfectly cooked with a creamy pepper sauce that has just a faint hint of sweetness. But nothing ever disappoints. Linger for a taste of Joelle's homemade elixirs. Such a perfect ending...

    A Gem - Well Worth the Trip. We all know that the stars on Yelp are inflated. One star which in most guides means something special - on Yelp is a dis. Four or five stars on Yelp usually means this is good. In this case, these five stars means that Joelle's is extraordinary. This is probably one of the best restaurants in all of Central New York. Alain and Joelle are an incredible team; Alain is a from a long line of restauranteurs - with stories of restauranteuring in Africa, France and New York City. Ask him yourself - the stories are as good as the food. He will delight you. Joelle makes an appearance out of the kitchen, when things calm down. It is always a treat to talk with her. We have brought visitors from all over the country (including New York City) - no one of them has ever left here unhappy. The place is lovely. The house is early 19th century and the dinning room small but very stylish - country. We have been three times, all them we have sat on the outdoor patio which is wonderful and has a view out over a meadow and the hills in the distance. Even in the spring and fall - there are heaters which keep the chill off and make the experience worth it. The wine list is very solid and Alain's knowledge unsurpassed. We had an Alsatian Pinot Blanc that was like being in Strasbourg - wonderful. Also the best ever Kir Royale. Joelle's food is from the gods themselves. She is a master at what she does. Tonight she prepared a chick pea risotto cake - as a side for swordfish and several other things. Now you may be thinking falafel - but this was light, fluffy and full of complex flavors. Her tagine is simply the best I have ever had. She also prepared a special of swordfish - with a fruit based salsa - wonderful. The special dessert was an apple crumble - which had a crumble that was light - not too sweet and perhaps a hint of almond paste. Her chocolate mousse is not to be missed. Go very hungry - eat well - and leave very very happy.

    This is a really great restaurant in an old farmhouse. Do not go here in a hurry, the service is friendly but on the slower side. The food is unbelievable, I've been here four times and it was better with each visit. I always opt for a fish dish of some kind. I had mussels (a special one evening) that were out of this world. Give it a shot, plus, they have outdoor seating :)

    We were there yesterday evening with friends celebrating our wedding anniversary. This place is out of this world : quaint , charming. You can be inside or outside , the garden and patio is beautiful. The food is authentic French with a charm from North Africa in some dishes. The wines are beautifully chosen to be cost effective and delicious. This is a place I would recommend to anyone . The owners are terrific people , always here for you . Both present and respectful of your privacy. The pace is a nice French type dining place where you enjoy good food and take the time to converse with the people you are with. Great , keep up that very special place the very way it is , a gem. Joelle , Alain thank you.

    Had a quiet dinner here with my wife last Saturday. We were extremely happy with the entire experience. The food was phenomenal and so was the wine! The service was perfect. Our waiter knew just when to stop by the table and we were well cared for. When we commented on how tasty the Chateau Croix de Jauge Bordeaux was, our waiter brought out a taste of another wine we might like. Joelle herself made several appearances towards the end of the evening. The Maroccan tagine stew and the Lamb were perfectly done, a true tastebud experience! We will be back.

    This place is so wonderful. I had the crab soufflé when I was there and it was wonderful. Also, I had the best service. The owners came out and had me try different drinks that they loved paired with our food.

    One-of-a-kind place; perfect for a meal to remember. Delicious, authentic French cuisine served in a lovely, cozy home set in the Finger Lakes country-side. Friendly, European-style service where they don't constantly hover; even opened a bottle to serve champagne by the glass - very much appreciated, no snooty attitude. The menu is creative, varied, and unexpected, with a refreshing Middle-Eastern influence on classic French bistro fare. Seated in the back patio, watching deer, birds, and other local wildlife in the vast back field as the sunset painted the sky pink and purple, we were served a warm romaine salad with a balsamic reduction and goat cheese to start. Followed by a lobster and crab cigar served with horseradish aioli and classic carrot râpées, and escargot in a delectable garlic butter sauce with a warm, crusty baguette. Perfect. Entrees were a shrimp and beet tempura in a tarragon sauce served over a risotto cake and sweet potato puree, and a spicy sausage, chicken, and meatloaf tagine with couscous and chickpeas in a coriander broth. All rounded out with a dark chocolate mousse, cream caramel, homemade limoncello, and Joelle herself coming out for a parting "bon soir!". Unforgettable.

    This was easily one of the best meals I have eaten in the Syracuse area, though it's not really Syracuse. A quick, 30 minute or so drive to the west will get you to Joelle's. First, make sure you make a reservation. I don't think you can just pop in here. I had made a reservation about a week in advance for the Saturday before Valentine's Day. Every table seemed to be full the entire time we were there, and I assume all were reservations. Their space, while not cramped, is fairly small so they most likely won't be able to accommodate you without one. The place, especially at night, can be a little difficult to find. If you don't know where it is, use your GPS. It's a very unassuming place with not so great signage. It just looks like a house (I mean, it is just a house). I have heard that this is on purpose. The owner doesn't mind being a little off the radar. We were seated right away. Because it was Valentine's Day, they had three separate menus. A Valentine's menu, which was a prix fixe menu, a bistro menu which was also a prix fixe menu, and then an a la carte menu. A little overwhelming, but our server did a fantastic job of explaining everything so it really wasn't any trouble. We decided to order off the a la carte menu. The food here was very good. I had a crispy sweet breads appetizer. Super tender with a bit of crunch and some lemon flavor. Delicious. Then I had a duck confit, which I think is a good barometer of a French restaurant. Crispy skin and tender meat. Also very good. We finished the meal with a creme brulee which was good, but our waiter poured and lit some orange liqueur on top which had too much residual alcohol burn for me. It really was a nice evening. My only complaint is that our waiter seemed to disappear for long stretches during the evening. I enjoy being able to sit and relax in between courses, but we sat for quite a long time while he set up another table for a larger party. Other than that, I thought everything was good. If you budget $200 or so for a meal here, then you won't be completely shocked. But I didn't feel like it was overpriced at all. The food is definitely worth it. Good place to go for a special occasion.

    The only French restaurant in Skaneateles! This is a great little find on beautiful grounds. Really great service and ambience. Very nice French food, nice portions and a wide variety of wines. Check out their website or become part of their mailing list for fun theme parties all year round.

    Cozy spot - nice French bistros fare. One of top three spots in town: Elderberry Pond/ Joelle's/ and Gilda's in town -- all are great.

    We had a fantastic meal on the patio. Outstanding service and excellent food. I had the haddock--delicious! The service was the perfect balance of attentiveness while allowing for a relaxing time. This is by far the BEST restaurant we've had a meal at during our 10 day visit to the Finger Lake region.

    One of the Best resteraunts I have ever been. There is not one dish that I have had that I disliked. The esscorgott is a garlikey buttery masterpice.The Morraccan steamed mussles are to die for. The Duck Confit is some of the best I ever had. The Morraccan Tagine is rich and earthly and full flavored. To be short, it is impossible to have a bad meal here. The wait staff is attentive and friendly as well. I know that it is up for sale. I just hope that this place stays open by the time I go back up to Syracuse for the fall semester.

    Absolutely fabulous restaurant run by a husband and wife team! Joelle, a true french woman is the chef, and her husband is the lovely Maitre'd. My husband and I go to upscale restaurants all the time in Manhattan so we recommend this restaurant with complete confidence. Food was incredible. For appetizers, my escargot was the best I have ever had-stands out from what I remember eating in Paris. My husband had an excellent tasting and visually appealing salad:walnuts, cherry tomatoes, and romaine dressed in a raspberry vinaigrette. My husband raved about his duck, and my mushroom ravioli was decadent with truffle oil. For dessert, I had a coconut and rum creme caramel, and he had chocolate mousse. The $35 prix-fix that we each took advantage of, was an excellent deal. The restaurant's decor is very chic and romantic. The outdoor grounds are lovely as well. Our waitress was young and perky, yet very sweet and attentive. She let us cork our bottle of Louis Jadot pinot noir and bring it home to finish on the porch of the B&B we were staying at. Joelle, the chef also came by our table, introduced herself and chatted with us for a few minutes. All and all-a wonderful dining experience that I highly recommend. When you drive there, go slow on this country road as we missed it multiple times trying to find it!

    The short form: awful service. The worst in my years of enjoying restaurants. And worse, from what we experienced from several servers and the ridiculous Maitre'd, it was systemic. Don't bother. It was the only restaurant I have ever walked out. The long form: Joelle's was recommended by the innkeeper of the exquisite B&B we were staying. We arrived just before our res time of 7pm. The place is small, with a lovely patio. It was full. With the rec and the number of patrons in what could only be described as a remote spot, things looked good. Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly. The Maitre'd was from the Basil Fawlty school - he confused bumbling incompetence (a litany of poor service decisions in a very short period of time) with charm. Sadly, the very poor service continued with the very pleasant young waitress. It would seem that training was not a requirement for hire at Joelle's French Bistro. So many negatives happened in the hour before the wine arrived, my typing skills on this iPad will not accommodate all the info. We are not food and wine snobs. But, we expect a decent standard when paying for 'fine' dining. I wish I could report on what looked like lovely food. But, after smiling about the service, then laughing it off, our feelings developed to incredulity. At that time (70 minutes and counting) we threw $60 on the table for the $56 bottle of Bordeaux, and left. I wonder if they noticed?
