Chez Boet

Great dinner. Duck a little too done and the dessert wasNapoleon and it was excellent

We’ll have to try again sometime; maybe they were having an off night but, the service was slow considering they were empty and two out of the four entrees we dry and unremarkable.
Food is just okay. And don’t we all want better then okay if we are going to dine out?

I was hoping for better based on reviews.
Best: French wine list at good prices
Good: Service
OK: Lamb tangier, Kobe bourgnione
Mediocre: Beet salad, bland shrimp dish

Well, it was a prix fixe menu for the Reveillon dinner. You should never expect excellence, so be it.
Our reservation was made for 10pm and we had to wait another 10 – 15 min to be seated. It was very crowded.
For the appetizers they ran out of the crab and we were left out with the other 2 choices. We opted for the lobster bisque. It was ok. Just ok.
The salad as second course was so so. They should have used a better sauce but it was very plain.
As for main course we were in doubt but both opted for the british Beef Wellington which was good but, The pastry was only on top of the meat when it should be wrapping it up. I felt like it was a cheap move from the restaurant. The meat was soft but missed something (apart from the pastry). The sides were plain boring. Boiled vegetables…
As for dessert, they ran out of pears, so again, only 2 choices left.
The wine list is good. The crowd was aged 60+ and I wonder if it was like this everywhere in the city but since it’s Naples, who cares! It didn’t bother us.
The party propers were a nice gesture. The espresso was terrible. No crema, over roasted beans. They should Consider changing the vendor.
I think it is a charming place that can be tried again.
The service was outstanding.

We went here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. What a pleasure! The owner greeted us and gave us one of the best tables since he knew it was a birthday celebration. It was a Sunday night, but there were still quite a few full tables. We felt like the entire staff cared about us and kept checking in on us.
The escargot was perfect. French onion soup was made the way it is supposed to be if you’ve ever been to France. Lamb tagine was tender. The Napoleon dessert was the best I’ve had in the U.S. If you’ve ever been to Europe and had desserts there you’d know what I mean. Homemade and delicious.
They really pay attention to sourcing the best ingredients.
We live 2 hours away, but will be back. What a great experience!

We recently had a phenomenal oyster mushroom cassoulet appetizer, simple red snapper and bouillabaisse. Phenomenal! Chez Boet is so much better than stuffy Bleu Provence. And the owners (and chef) are the real deal!

Someone else on reviews indicated Chez Boet is closed. They are still open and fantastic!

Excellent place to have a special time with the someone. Amazing food, the owner is very nice and the server is very friendly. It was a pleasure to eat in restaurant. I recommend chez boet you will love it and you will have a good memory from it.

Homestyle authentic French food at its best! Owners Liza and Philippe Boét prepare and present food that more than satisfies. Their Red Snapper en Papillote was delicious, the Beef Bourguignon is to die for and the Kobe Burger is amazing. The children’s menu is wonderful as well and as diverse in offerings at that of the main menu. Our nine year old daughter enjoyed a Kobe Burger, passing on shellfish and fresh salmon or chicken. She liked the Beef Bourguignon that Mom had so much, we had to get her a smaller version for her. Desserts amaze as well. You will not be disappointed here. Naples is blessed to have so many fine French restaurants, including Bleu Provence across the street. We have dined at both and Chez Boét is our new favorite. Simply delicious!

Chez Boet is a gem in a city that is overcrowded with the typical Italian/​grouper/​meat and potatoes that dominates the demographic of the Naples area. (really, how much grouper can one eat?). We came here on our honeymoon and loved the romantic ambiance of the restauarant.
From the moment we walked in, we were immediately seated even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. The personal attention we received from our waiter was top notch throughout the entire meal. Excellent, excellent food and a wonderful experience.

Let me say the food was Amazing. I got the seafood tartain and my boyfriend got the shrimp Provençal. We were on vacation and looking for a place to have a very nice dinner for our last night. We had read some good reviews and decided to check it out. Again the food was great the pork terrine appetizer wad delicious and same with out main meals. They had a good selection of wines as well. What wasn’t great was the service. We were one of the younger tables there and pretty much felt ignored the whole dinner. I know that in dinner dinning returned the service is slowed down however this was too slow especially when we saw our waiter getting to all the other tables asking if they were good or needing anything and then walking right past us. We had to wait 30 minutes from the time we finished our appetizer before the waiter even came back to take our dinner order, while he was chatting with all the other tables. We loved the food but we were disappointed in the service.

Good food, service, ambiance. Husband said rack of lamb best he’s ever eaten! I didn’t love my fish (special), kind of boring although well cooked. Cozy, pleasant. will come back, and go with my first instinct, which is to order several appetizers instead of an entrée.

We came here with a reservation and party of five. We were promptly seated and greeted by our great waiter.
The space is cozy/​small and has some unique décor. There are red lights with glass wings and an entire wall covered in a very artsy wallpaper wrap.
Food — ok but not as great as we expected it to be. Most of us started with the French onion soup. The soup was very sweet and did not have a high salt content. It was very different than what I’ve ever had for French onion, maybe this is the true French way? I just did not like it and was disappointed. For my main meal, I had the Kobe burger with a fried egg… it was excellent! The burger was cooked medium and the meat was very tender.
Drinks — they did have a great wine list but a few drinks needed to be sent back as they were made incorrectly. No problem, new drinks were quickly made again by the bar.
Our service was excellent and very prompt, we never felt rushed. I did also like that they had someone playing live piano even on a Wednesday night. One of the owners was there and was very pleasant to us on our way out.
I’d recommend requesting a table along the edge as the larger tables in the middle tend to get bumped into.

CLOSED
There is another restaurant in that location now. I don’t know if they have moved.

Delicious! Great owners that are present and fun, food was amazingly fabulous, waitstaff was knowledgable, atmosphere cozy and romantic. Specials were fresh and inspired, wine list was impressive… what a wonderful evening. We will be back!

Quite possibly the most authentic French dining experience I have had outside of France. All the good and none of the bad. Ambience nearly equivalent to a Parisian bistro… all the liveliness, but with added warmth. Perhaps this is the result of the American + French owners who bring passion to each table with every meal and conversation. Bravo!

I think the haute cuisine reputation — delicate recipes in small portions at high prices — often dominates Americans’ perceptions of French cooking. Chez Boet will totally rearrange your attitude about French food, leaving you well satiated. Lisa and Phillippe Boet are doing French comfort food.
Some bio info lets the diners know that Lisa and Phillippe honed their culinary skills in the French countryside preparing classic French dishes for family and friends. It’s those recipes offered nightly at Chez Boet.
Phillippe mans the bar, and he shakes a masterful classic martini. The wine list is robust but not pretentious. Alas, since the missus doesn’t drink, I’m always relegated to the by-​the-​glass offferings. I selected a Pinot Noir, which was just right for the roast duck about to follow.
Whenever visiting a restaurant for the first time, I gravitate toward the proclaimed signature dishes and menu standards. I figure it’s those dishes they do best, so if they fail short of expectation, I don’t return for another plate of disappointment. Playing to that theme, I chose the Canard Roti a l’Orange, and Chez Boet did not disappoint. My lady, who eats chicken at Chinese restaurants, chicken at Mexican restaurants, chicken at Italian restaurants, and chicken at American restaurants, decided she was having the evening special, which featured. .. voila! Chicken!
I heard no complaints from the other side of the table regarding her chicken. As for my Duck l’Orange, it was perfect. The skin had the right amount of crispiness, the flesh was moist, and the sauce and seasonings wrapped the whole dish into a perfect plate of French hominess.
The tab for my martini and wine, salads, entrees, desserts, coffee and gratuity came to about $ 160. .. not bad at all.
My wife is anxious to return for the Chicken Tagine, and the Bouillabaisse is calling my name. Bön appetit!

Our favorite restaurant in Naples! Between the extremely friendly, kind and helpful owners and waitstaff, and the delicious authentic French food, Chez Boet is a MUST to visit if you find yourself in Naples.
The restaurant is cozy and intimate, and feels as if you are guests in someone’s dining room. Because it is a small space, you instantly feel the attentiveness and personal service from the wait staff. In fact, when I went to Chez Boet earlier this month, the bartender (aka Owner) not only made me a drink that was off-​menu but also came personally to our table to check-​in on how it was afterwards — it was amazing!
While here, my boyfriend and I ate a special appetizer of seared foie gras accompanied by a glass of sauternes, the Provencal pink gulf shrimp, seafood tagine and crème brûlée. Everything was absolutely delicious.
When we left the restaurant, we noticed a packed Bleu Provence across the street. We were saddened by the thought that Bleu Provence may be keeping potential diners from experiencing Chez Boet. Even glancing at Bleu Provence’s menu, it seemed to cater more to a mass audience and so paled in comparison to the menu at Chez Boet. In contrast, it is clear that Chez Boet cares more about providing an elegant first class dining experience than catering to a wider group more concerned with being seen at a «fancy» restaurant. I hope all who read this will be more inspired to try Chez Boet over Bleu Provence — you won’t be sorry!

So good and so much fun. Stopped for a light dinner, but got carried away. Escargot, foie gras, two small plate lamb tagines, Napoleon and tart tatine. Glass of champagne and half bottle of medoc. It was all unpretentious and terrific. Owners chatted amiably (it was a slow night and we eat late by Naples standards) and our waiter was a hoot. If we lived here, it would be our go to spot. It’s a few blocks from the glitz. Don’t miss it.

This is a true authentic French Gem in Naples. It’s true simple, classy French. The ambiance is less flashy than it’s competition but yet inviting and lovely, it’s just perfect! Great ambiance and design. The food it classic French and the wine list is changing often to meet the needs of patrons and the owner, Philippe (from Paris) finds the best wines to match his menu at the time. Service is great! The owners are very accommodating and really great people, they are there and very involved. One of my favorite things about the menu is that they put a «little logo» where there IS gluten in a dish, as opposed to logos when the dish IS GF. Opposite of most restaurants and this shows that almost the entire menu is GF! All local grown items on the menu! I was one happy girl! And the flour-​less chocolate warm cake (small) is GF and yum! You will not be disappointed in this French gem!
