Located just above the River Walk, Le Reve is a charming restaurant that serves innovative French cuisine. Le Reve may be tiny, with only 14 tables, but the feel is intimate, not claustrophobic. Chef and owner Andrew Weissman deftly contrasts textures, flavors and spices, always keeping the complete dish in graceful balance. Two menus are offered nightly, an eight-course tasting menu with a wine pairing or a three-, four-, or five-course prix fixe menu. The wine list is equally as exciting, with several half bottles, magnums and wine flights available.
