"So very disappointing, we have been many times and thought once more before it closes. Our main server, Kathleen B. was so unfocused, our table location was ?, we were given Tea not Lunch menu, then no choice as we thought 2options. Libation book had no cocktail list, wine chosen not available, water spilled on seat splashing onto me, “sorry” with not wiping up! When asked if we would like more bread, my husband replied yes, however he had to ask twice more, his entree, beef was a very large chunk of fat with a small amount of well done meat. Our wine arrived after entrees and glasses were poured uncomfortably full! We always enjoyed the cheese course and inquired, “four cheeses” we had to ask what types also asked about sorbets, again had to ask three times what kind. We tried to make the best of an awful experience, which is why my husband didn’t complain, the food was warm never hot. You’re asking so please share with Mr.McClelland"

What the duck? Known as "The Best French Restaurant in Back Bay," L'Espalier was a recommendation by word of mouth and has always been on my bucket list

Goodbye! Why would anyone want to visit a restaurant that is closed? It’s a shame to miss out on everything L'Espalier had to offer. The staff was fantastic, and the meal was exquisite. A truly memorable dining experience... View menu

I'm saddened to see it go. I knew the former owners, Moncef and Donna, from the very beginning, as well as Chef McClelland more recently. It's been 40 years filled with hard work, joy, and hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful memories. This truly marks the end of an era.

I was there for afternoon tea with my son. Was seated at a table that was next to a large pillar in the middle room, right in the walkway area. We felt like we in the dead zone. Very poor service. It took 20 minutes to get a refill on a cup of tea. Clearly the restaurant is going out of business, which I just discovered after the visit. The tea service was so overpriced for such poor service.

"No soup/sandwich shop compares in terms of price per quality, portion size, and different options in the area. I only started ordering from here about 2 weeks ago and I’ve now had 7 different kinds of soups and 4 different kinds of sandwiches after the first order I started ordering two soups and a sandwich aka a soup to save for later because they’re just that good, every one of them. Price is so very reasonable and depending on which combo you get you can make out with a full sized sandwich and large sized homemade soup for $14.While it’s hard to recommend one thing over another in this circumstance since it’s all been great in their own ways, the Chicken Chowder is something I plan on getting a quart of next time it’s available. The Chicken Barley and Chicken Lemon Rice are ones I plan on getting quarts of in the future as well, and that’s not to discount the Chicken Noodle, Beef and Veg Noodle Stew, French Onion, and the current seasonal Chilled Gazpacha (which I probably wouldn’t have even tried it wasn’t from these guys . It’s all top quality.The Chicken Tarragon sandwich is my favorite in terms of sandwiches although it can’t combo with a soup as of now (please let us! . The best cheap soup combo sandwich is a tossup between the Cilantro Tuna and Ciabatta Sandwich, which are both incredible in their own ways.The only few drawbacks to this place are they don’t have every soup they make every day, are only open until 4PM, and aren’t open on the weekends. That said it’s worth it to plan accordingly for this. I never review anything but this place is worth it it’s the best if you’re a soup and sandwich person like I am."
