{So, I just went onto the Cafe du Bois webpage, as I was thinking of making reservations, and unfortunately, saw the notice that they're closing their doors.... I posted the notice below....}February 11, 2015To friends and supporters of Café du Bois in Kingwood’s Town CenterPatrons and followers of Café du Bois may have recently been exposed to rumors that the restaurant is closing. Rumors and hearsay notoriously become distorted, twisted and embellished with each passing in the chain of tellers.Here are the factsToday we are officially making an announcement regarding the restructuring and subsequent closing of Café Du Bois after nearly 14 years of service to the community. Following several months of intense marketing on the Internet, local magazines, local news papers, and radio interviews, it has become evident that we can not attract enough consistent patronage to sustain the restaurant in the presentstate of the economy.Closing and New Hours of Operation InformationCafé Du Bois will be officially closing by April 1, 2015. In the interim, days and hours of operation willchange and be effective immediately. . . See below.The Café will be closed this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (February 13 †15) due to a medicalemergency. Chef Arturo will not be available those days and we have no substitute chef, therefore wehave no way to prepare the gourmet meals for our patrons until he returns on Monday, February 16.We apologize to our friends and patrons who have made reservations for Valentines Dayweekend, for this unforeseen dilemma.New hours of operation beginning Monday, February 16,2015Monday through Saturday — 8:00 A.M. †3:00 P.M. — Serving Breakfast and Lunch OnlyClosed Sundays (Sunday Brunch is discontinued)MenusWe will have a limited menu, but many selections from the current dinner menu will be available untilcurrent inventory is depleted. There will also be specials on the wine and liquor inventory.We will appreciate your patronage and support as we make a best effort to exit gracefully.Respectfully,Cheryl Johnson and the Café du Bois Family 4951

I am really going to miss the Grand Marnier Soufflé. Where else can I get it locally besides Chez Nous? 4951
@AnnieWe've actually never been to either Cafe du Bois or Chez Nous, but I've only seen really good reviews for both places..... ....I went onto their webpage to make reservations for our upcoming anniversary when I saw the closing notice.......Maybe we'll check out Chez Nous.... Do you recommend it? 4951

Rumors of the closing could be exaggerated. You know how rumors are. Don't believe them.Here's the truth. We're closing. 4951

The "notice" seems a bit more like a lecture on how the community didn't support them, so as punishment, they are reducing hours, and taking away brunch until they close. We really didn't need a snooty novella about it all. A simple "unfortunately we have decided to close, effective April 15. Thank you for 14 wonderful years." As far as intense marketing, I saw an occasional ad, and that's about it. Did they really reach out to the community, say they way Rigo's or So Chocolate has done? Did they interact with people here? 4951

It is a crime to warm the bread. Eat it in its beautiful crusty state. It is awesome with the butter from under the domed lids. The crab tower is my husband's favorite appetizer. You can't go wrong here. Sadly, I didn't see the Coquille appetizer (scallops) on either menu. If you get the prix fixe menu, at least one of you should get the escargot. The chicken is not one I have tried but it does sound tasty. The creme brulee is better than the mousse, imo. Do you know the prix fixe changes monthly?

When you make the reservation, you can tell them that you are celebrating a special occasion. If you prefer the Library, just ask for that. It is used when the restaurant is busier. 4951
