Chez Boët: Authentic French Dining with Family-Owned Charm

Family-owned and warm, Chez Boet serves traditional French food in a comfortable setting. In my opinion, the food is consistently great and presented in a straightforward way. I’ve always found the service top-notch, and first-timers are often surprised by how good the overall experience is. I highly recommend the bouillabaisse. -The Naples Florida Review
