    Bistro Barberet was lovely as always. The food is classic and comforting; the service is impeccable. Kayla is just an absolute gem of a human being - she’s professional and effortless with her service and smile. The bakery is world class and not to be missed.

    Not a lot of variety on the menu. Charge for extra bread when we did not get a lot in the first round. Said we could get a to-go bag for the bread, but it never came.

    Had reservations for 8pm. There's normally a small menu and that's not the issue. The issue was several dishes had run out of ingredients. Smallest portion of Foie Gras that I've ever had, especially for the $30 charge. My filet was way overdone. The service was minimally acceptable. It wasn't great for the cost. Nothing to brag about. Thanks for listening.

    One of the best French bistros I know outside of France. From the "salade lyonnaise" to the burger and fries, everything was well prepared and nicely plated. As always, the service was friendly, expert, and efficient.

    A great brunch, soup du jour was parsnip and apple, it was perfectly seasoned and so smooth and creamy. Vegetarian Quiche with shallots was a good portion size and the side salad was well dressed and made a perfect entree. Had to abstain from desserts but the front case was filled with excellent looking choices.
