    Pleasant experience and did not break the bank. The steak frites and berger with foie gras were excellent. They sort of missed the boat on the French onion soup as it almost tastes, though it has a chicken. Stuck and there’s not much in the way of an onion taste. Cheese was melted over well. Escargot was rather standard – nothing special but good. Crêpe with duck was also good. Red velvet cake to finish was excellent. Overall, a much better experience than we had in the distant past, and the food was affordable and a very good. A good option in Butler for a solid French bistro meal that did not break the bank.

    I have NEVER given Planchette a negative review (even now!) The 4 of us come on OPENING NIGHT at ACT 2 (and I enjoy lunch when I volunteer at the theater). All was perfect until 4 people came through the door and (because Planchette is so intimate) the noise from their table made our conversation impossible...finally asked them to "keep it down". Otherwise, as always, the food and service were fantastic.

    Wonderful bistro atmosphere with great food choices and specials- the onion soup was out of this world- service attentive and friendly.

    We went to Planchette for a pre-theater dinner. They were ready for us. Attentive, large menu. Food was served quickly, hot and tasty. We enjoyed the wine that we brought. Ambiance was conducive for a date and we walked right across the street to the theater in plenty of time for the 8pm curtain. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.
