   Disappointing dinner for Christmas Day. Very much a ‘no frills’ restaurant but doesn’t sell itself as that. Absolutely hectic downstairs at the cafe when you walk in and then upstairs in the bistro it’s very busy also. A good sign you would think…but no. Food is ok, but just ok. We didn’t get plate with meatball starter, so had to eat them off the side bread plates. Then we had to ask for clean cutlery for the main. Then handed a bundle of cutlery sets with linen and then the extra ones were just left on the corner of our table. Just weird, it’s like the staff have no idea how to wait tables in a restaurant. The clincher was we were handed the bill before we asked for it or had the chance to order desert. We were polite and didn’t complain, not the wait staff’s fault they obviously don’t receive any training and have no experience. Might be ok for a quick lunch but definitely not an ‘occasion’.

   These guys own like two blocks of parking. I went to their cafe, bakery, and restaurant. I did parking validations at each and after spending more than $200 they had the gall to charge me $45 in parking fees. Insane!

   When we have visitors come to town, we always take them to Boudin. The staff are excellent. The food is consistently good and usually, you can get a view from almost every table. The atmosphere is welcoming and I love the downstairs gift shop. It’s always clean, including the facilities. It is a solid place to visit and have space to have good food, drinks and share time with friends and family.

   Very nice place for lunch. Quick friendly service. Good food. Discounted parking in the lot out front. We parked there in the morning and used the streetcar to get around.

    Went for a special advertised Thanksgiving dinner. It was overpriced and nothing special. $46 plus for an advertised special Turkey dinner that was poor. Was expecting a Prix Fixe dinner with courses.,Could have ordered a similar turkey plate at any diner for around $12. No sides dishes, no dessert included, no appetizer. Just a turkey plate, under cooked vegetables, uneditable turkey giblets, mashed potatoes and a couple small pieces of white meat turkey for 46 dollars. Feeling very ripped off. Probably a nice place for tourists just ordering off their main menu, I wish I had.
