I had my wedding reception here last year! We had about under 100 guests.
The whole experience was great and well managed! Staff was attentive, food was good! Venue was excellent! Manager was very super helpful from beginning planning to the finishing touch! They helped us to decorate and arranged everything, so we did not need to worry about anything. On the date of the reception, we just show up beautifully, greet our guests, and celebrate!
Price was acceptablly expensive, but we believe we had our money well spent!! And it was a great experience and memory to last forever. I would recommend this restaurant for a dinner for 2 to corporate event to wedding reception! -

I've been to La Chaumiere twice now for formal events, so I don't know what an intimate dining experience would be like here. The restaurant is moderately elegant and food presentation is delightful. I'm glad there's adequate free parking.
At a Christmas party last night, we were served numerous pastry and skewer hors-d'oeuvres to start. The pastry was quite greasy but certainly was tasty. I wasn't particularly impressed with the chicken skewers but my spouse thought the steak was excellent and we both really enjoyed the prawns. The white wine chosen for the occasion was just okay and one of the servers somehow poured red into my white wine, which clearly was very embarrassing for him. He promptly brought over a new glass.
Our main dishes included risotto topped with a jumbo prawn, salad and salmon, all of which were excellent. Dessert was a generous portion of crème caramel, which I couldn't get enough of.
Being that the evening was not rushed, we were okay with the pace of the food, but we were being served from 6:30 to nearly 10pm with long breaks in between courses. Honestly, I'd rather have been done earlier than this but if that's the culture, then you must embrace it. I consider the regular menu to be pricey and don't know if I'd make an effort to visit this restaurant otherwise. It's a great venue for parties but it doesn't strike me as a place I'd choose to frequent. -

This exclusive French restaurant on the 17th Avenue corridor exemplifies French cuisine at its finest (in this city anyways). The portions are ultra-expensive, ultra-small, and ultra-delicious. My mother is an experienced restaurateur and often, I am subjected to many establishments I might not frequent under my own steam. La Chaumiere is one of these places.
The service is impeccable. A very formal air can be detected the moment you walk in, although not at all uncomfortable. Something gave me the distinct feeling that only the most classy of individuals could secure a seat at a table here.
The wine was nice, though I'm not much of a wine drinker. I had three entrees, each more tasty than the last. What I remember the most fondly was the richness and quality of the food. It's expensive, but there's definitely a reason for that.
All in all, if you've got money to burn, I'd recommend hitting this place up. I don't know how authentic the food is, but it is exceptional as is the service. -
