“ Came here for the first time on a whim for my birthday dinner and it was perfect! Service and atmosphere excelled. Started with the french onion soup which was amazing and then had the filet mignon for my entree. It was extremely tender and perfectly cooked. My family had the NY strip steak and also loved it. Definitely returning in the future ”
“ If you find yourself in Delray Beach area and you enjoy exquisite French cuisine this is the place for you. A staff knowledgeable, courtesy and helpful compliment a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Francis is a step above the average owner/chef in every way. I will not only be back, I will make great effort to do so. Thank you all at La Cigale for a wonderful dinner. ”
“ An absolutely perfect dinner. From start to finish it was delicious. The staff were extremely attentive. I loved the dimly lit well appointed dining room and beautiful artwork. My scallop and shrimp dish with risotto was superb! ”
“ Excellent choice for a warm cosy outing with the significant other. Great atmosphere and lighting, with professional wait staff. The menu selection is very comprehensive, with a good selection for all. And lastly, but certainly not least, the taste, quality and serving portions of the menu items are excellent!!! Attempting to describe the taste and flavoring of the food, would be futile. It just has to be experienced. Loved every bite of everything wee tried. It is certainly a must for the higher end dining experience. Two negative things worth pointing out, would be the location and the pricing. The location is a little awkward (in what seems to be a drab residential neighborhood) and the pricing is a little on the high side. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place as a "must visit," if you're ever in the Deerfield beach area. ”
“ A really special dining experience with an eclectic menu guaranteed to satisfy any special taste you have for the evening. I heartily recommend the onion soup. A really nice friendly bar and very attentive wait staff. You know this is a family owned an operated restaurant as soon as you walk in. I have been there many times and I have never had anything other than a great evening. ”

Food was outstanding- every single dish we tried was excellent. Staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make it special for us. So happy we picked this spot. A truly elegant restaurant. Thank you La Cigale! ”
