Reviews
We enjoyed the beet salad, roasted chicken and risotto. Beef carpaccio and scallops.
All were seasoned well and very delicious! Would highly recommend this restaurant!
I particularly enjoyed the Tuna Tostada, Escargot, and Mozzarella Salad. My husband – his Tuna Carpaccio and Ribeye steak. For dessert, the Traditional Crème brûlée and Georgia Pecan Dacquoise were delicious! Our server was also very accommodating and professional.
A Great French bistro experience!
We had an 8:00 PM reservation to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband. We met some friends at the bar for a pre-dinner drink and I checked in with the host about 20 minutes beforehand. Unfortunately, our friends waited nearly 20 minutes just to get a drink at the bar, which didn’t feel very welcoming.
Then came the real issue — we weren’t seated until 9:00 PM. You might ask, why wait an hour? Because it was a special occasion, and the restaurant came highly recommended. Once seated, our server was wonderful, and the food was excellent — truly no complaints there.
That said, a few of the dishes and glassware were not completely clean — like they had skipped a run through the dishwasher — which was surprising for a place of this caliber. And before we even finished our entrées, we were asked to order dessert because the kitchen wanted to close. That felt rushed and disappointing after waiting so long to be seated.
What really stung, though, was that no one ever apologized — not at the bar, not at the host stand, not even when we left. Sitting in a nearly empty dining room after all that waiting was not the evening we had planned.
I’m sure not everyone has this experience, but the lack of attention to detail and the complete lack of acknowledgment for the inconvenience made what could have been a fantastic evening feel disheartening.
We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time, and I want to point out that our server was awesome. After I told her about my gluten allergy due to celiac disease, she explained what substitutions she recommended with the filet I ordered and said she would flag it with the kitchen to watch for cross-contamination. My partner ordered the espresso ribeye with fingerling potatoes and asparagus.
Unfortunately, my steak came out one stage away from being cremated, it was a hockey puck. The fingerling potatoes were burnt on the edges and raw on the inside. My partner’s steak was cooked perfectly; however, both the potatoes and asparagus were raw and not edible. When our server returned, she looked horrified by how overcooked my steak was and had them remake my meal.
The second filet came out slightly better, but not by much. It was dry and tough, and I only ate two bites. The potatoes were still undercooked. By that point, we had been there for over an hour, and I had lost my appetite due to how let down I felt by the experience. They did take my meal off the check; however, it was still such a disappointment especially after recently surviving a major surgery and looking forward to our first big outing in my favorite city.
I wish I had read the reviews instead of just taking one person’s recommendation, as it appears this has been an ongoing issue for at least a year. I also wish I could remember our waitress’s name, because she was the only positive part of our experience.
