"Food is excellent, prepared with care and quality ingredients. The price fixe may seem pricey at first look but you get your choice of any appetizer (small bite), entree and dessert on the menu and it comes with their house salad which is great. Go with the price fixe. Wait staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant is small but cozy. They should make use of the outdoor space in front of the restaurant like Toscana has across the court. Their outside area isn't as big as Toscana but they could set up some tables, with greenery and it would be quite nice for summer dining. I will definitely be back."

"We dined on a Friday night and the live music was a wonderful surprise. An appetizer of mussels with lump crabmeat in a saffron sauce was a delicous start. The house salad of greens, apple, gorgonzola and cranberry was lightly dressed, cold and crisp. My entre of rack of lamb was perfectly cooked and served with snow peas and a dense, rich cube of scalloped potatoes. The most difficult part of the meal was deciding if the tart tatin or the cream brulee was the best dessert. We decided on a tie and shared these great endings to the meal.
Love everything about this restaurant (except for its dorky name)."

"Fantastic (not perfect) French cuisine. The price fix option is the way to go for sure. I have nothing really to say about the food, but the decor/ambiance is pretty terrible. If that matters I'd skip a meal here as it will run you in the range of $100 for a couple- though it is a BYOB which is nice- and one of the servers is a beer snob like me, so you don't have to worry about those jiffy looks you sometimes get for bringing beer to a higher end BYOB."

"The food was delicious. The dining experience was painfully slow. In the 1st hour we had only recieved our salad. At 1 1/2 hours we received our appitizer. The entire meal took 2 1/2 hours. When we finally received our entree I told the waiter to put our desert order in. Would definately recommend this resturant as long as you are aware that you are dining and have 2-3 hours to eat a meal. Which we did not, since we were supposed to meet friends for a movie that we did not get to."

"My wife and I enjoyed another superb meal at Dream Cuisine Bistro. Every dish was terrific. My lamb chops were among the best I have ever enjoyed anywhere. Seriously, Dream Cuisine rivals the French bistros in Philly and NYC, and its a BYOB. Because we registered our birthdays, we received a $20 discount coupon to celebrate my wife's birthday. Great meal to celebrate."

"Some complain about the slowness of the kitchen, which we have experienced rarely among our many visits here. We find the food to be well-prepared and fresh, we are told the chef goes to market daily. The prices are reasonable - this is a BYOB so you can save greatly on your wine bill if you imbibe. I find the french onion soup particularly good as well as the trout. The Chef serves grass feed meats and we like how he tries to locally source his vegetables."

"This is my second time eating at this restaurant and I'll never return. This time it took us 1 1/2 hours to get our main dish, we had to flag down the server twice to bring us wine glasses. They were also out their chicken dish and their pear salad, the food was good but being that I been there twice and both times I had to wait over an hour to get our food, I wont go back."

"For the very first time in my dining experience, Upon arriving there was a long wait with reservation. The maitre d at no time asked us for names of those who made reservations. Once in a while she would asked "who's next?" Finally after being seated in the small eatery, we waited for approximately 15-20 minutes for beverages. In between the small portions of first 2 courses we and many of us in the eatery waited for a long period of time. It didn't matter if you order something quick like a salad or seafood. Then last the main course was the longest. 3 hours and 30 minutes the entire time. F++ for service. The maitre d failed to come to us and tables near advising us of an update or given any apology. At least the food was good."

"We recently moved to south jersey and we're looking for some new restaurants to try. We are big foodies and were hoping to find something on par with some of our favorites in Philadelphia. Based on the reviews we thought this would be great, but it wasn't up to our standards. Everything was well prepared and delicious but there was nothing outstanding or creative for a foodie to appreciate. Perhaps this may be a good restaurant in south jersey, but when there are so many fabulous restaurants across the bridge, it just didn't cut it. Also we went on Valentine's Day, which understandably would be busy, but the amount of time between courses was rather ridiculous. Fine for a good solid meal...but certainly not worth all the "rave" reviews."

"In the area on business, I was looking for a local place and I was in the mood for French. This was the only one that came up on OpenTable, and so I decided give it a try. So glad I did. It was mid-week and only a few tables seated. I was given a nice cozy table away from the door. The chef is authentic, from Nice, and though I ate lite having the small plate of shrimp and ratatoullie and their pear, gorgonzola with walnuts over baby greens salad, the flavors were perfect and everything fresh. Having the ability to bring my own French Pinot Noir was a bonus! I watched as other entrees were delivered to tables around me, and I from what I could see people seemed well pleased with what they tasted. Try the apple tartin for dessert!"
