La Cigale
La Cigale, a Taste of the Mediterranean has had a rebirth in downtown Delray Beach, Florida. Just south of busy Atlantic Avenue on Federal Highway you will be swept away to the sights and smells of the Mediterranean Coastline. Think of the French Riviera, Morocco, Greece, Italy and delight in the cuisines of each.

"This restaurant is very attractive and the food was excellent. Strangely for such an expensive restaurant they could not make a piña colada for me and the beer list was pretty tepid. In addition we had a coupon which they neglected to apply to the bill until we reminded them. Sooo all was well except when you go to a place as expensive as this you expect everything will be perfect. However, we would go back again. The seafood creeps were especially delicious and the moussaka was wonderful."

"A nice upscale restaurant located off the Atlantic Avenue restaurant strip. Fantastic service and a nice ambiance. Starters included escargots and wild mushroom casserole which was delicious. A unique take on the usual escargot in a butter garlic sauce. There was a mixup in the salad order, but was quickly fixed. Main course choices were seafood crepes and shrimp Provençal. Both were very good, but we felt were somewhat overpriced. No meal is complete without dessert; therefore we decided to try the warm golden apple tarte as well as the tiramisu. Good, but not outstanding. A nice touch was the owner checking on his patrons. We would return, but not w/o a coupon from restaurant.com"

"We waited over 40 minutes for our reservation . No member of management ever came by to apologize or to offer a complimentary drink or dessert in apology. The poor harassed hostess who was seating people did apologize, at least.
I ordered the duck which was just ok. However, the plate was overwhelmed by a huge portion of mediocre mashed sweet potatoes and covered with green peas. Edible but far from gourmet. My husband had the mussels, which were too large for our taste. The best part of the meal were the frites accompanying the mussels and the baby arugula salad we shared.
This was our first time at this restaurant. We will not return."

"Great restaurant with super friendly staff (from the hostess, to the bar tender and waiter and of course, Francis. We really appreciated the great service from Alain (we always request him as our waiter). He is very good at suggesting dishes, listening to our needs and making sure everything comes in perfectly done. It is a restaurant that we love, although it is best to go there for special occasions as it is somewhat expensive, especially drinks (Happy hour at the bar helps though)."
