★★★★☆ 4.0 Jean Tsou · Nov 2025

Great service and nice vibe. Chicken liver mousse, pork trotter, and tomato salad are all good starter choices. Sword fish has one side breaded prepared which makes it really yummy in flavor and texture. Out standing service here as well.

We hosted our Super Bowl weekend Welcome Reception at Routier and I can say it was the BEST decision to host here! We rented out the entire restaurant it was an amazing party! Chef JP was so helpful with picking out the food & wine to pair with our menu. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff was wonderful the night of the party. Everyone loved the food...and the desserts were my favorite part! That chocolate mousse and the fianciers (cookie, almond bread thing) at the end were the BEST thing I have eaten in so long (I took home a box for my family!). They were so good!!! This was a great place to host our party.

This really was very good. Wished we had more people with us because it’s best for eating family style. The corn risotto highlighted the corn more than the rice and was gooey with cheddar cheese. I also liked my beet close NA cocktail and the artichoke pepper pave, which is sliced potatoes smushed together in a square shape - tastes like a tater tot. Make a reservation!

A very lively French restaurant with a nice clean and short menu of great options like duck and risotto. Speaking of risotto, it was a corn and mushroom risotto that was to die for. Very filling! Everyone at the table tried it and loved it. Sweet and savory and unique. They have a high corkage fee ($45) but otherwise everything else was very reasonable and lovely!

Routier is an absolute gem along California Avenue. The food, plating presentation, service, ambiance, lighting, and cleanliness of the bathroom are all remarkable. While I enjoyed both the summer squash (zucchini) appetizer and chocolate mousse, the star of the show is definitely the hanger steak main. I highly recommend the Roasted Hanger Beef! It's super tender drenched in rich savory sauce-- worthy of a Michelin recognition. I am very excited to visit again to try more dishes for a more thorough review.
