Fool me once…This restaurant makes the list for Top 5 Worst Meals of My Life. Cheap cuts of meat, sliced thin so the gristle is easier to chew, doused in a gross sauce. I’m not sure if the sauce was supposed to be a red wine sauce or a demiglace, but it tasted like liquified fois gras, but not in a good way. The pommes-frites were very thin, crunchy and salty, if that’s your thing. One person with us said it tasted like they were fried in rancid oil. This person also described the steak as “sour” and said they had to spit out a couple of bites because the steak was too chewy to swallow (and this is a person who likes a little gristle). The “fresh” bread was a probably great when first baked, but it was stale and over-warmed to crouton consistency. Our server was lovely, the salad was good, the house bordeaux was nice, and the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. Everything else about this meal was surprisingly bad for a restaurant that specializes in ONE thing.

The food was good but the music was so loud we couldn't have a conversation at our table. I couldn't hear the person sitting across from me. I asked the waitress to turn it down but she told me she was told she could not. The management wants it that loud. I won't be going back until they turn the music down. Who wants to spend that kind of money to go out to dinner and not be able to talk with the people at your table?!

Perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bottomless mimosas were flowing. The food was phenomenal. Great service, drinks, food, and company. Thank you!

Hostess was rude and unprofessional. The service was very delayed. Had a reservation at 8:15, they sat our table at 9:20 and one hour later still haven’t gotten the food. Hostess banished the food ticket so it wouldnt get done. Had to leave the restaurant.

Horrible. Waited 30 minutes for our reservation. Service was slow and aloof. Food was mediocre at best. We left hungry. Second portion was inadequate.
