    The Christmas Eve brunch at Bar Pigalle was excellent. The food and service were fantastic. The only thing I recommend is to better time the courses so there isn’t a large wait time between each one.

    The environment was nice, friendly staff. Service was adequate. Food was nothing special. To be fair, we are older, than the audience they are looking for. Others in their 20s and early 30s were celebrating different events and were provided with a disco ball ambience, sparkler, and loud music. It has a club vibe, felt the food was secondary to the cocktails and vibe. Give it a 7 for ambience and vibe, but again I don’t believe we are their intended customer base. If you are between 20 and 30 and a party person you will not be disappointed
