Awful 6/6/2009

Where do I begin? The Maitre D' is rude. The service is terrible. It took more than an hour for our entrees to arrive, and the waiter seemed oblivious. Our food was overpriced, bland and not cooked properly. My wife's chicken was undercooked(!), and I ordered my steak medium rare but it was cooked well done. We sent both back, my wife's entree returned about 10 minutes later overcooked, and it took another 20 minutes for my steak to arrive - and it was overcooked again! \r \r Avoid this place at all costs. Cons: Everything more

Mediocre food and service 4/11/2007

Our dinner was initially delivered to the wrong table. When we did get our meal the food was at room temperature and bland.\r \r The waiter didn't tell us about the specials, but told the other tables the specials after we had already ordered. \r \r The dessert was suppose to be a macaroon, but had the consistency of a large cookie. \r \r Overall we were very disappointed with the service and the food. Pros: The Decor Cons: The food and the service more

Like a French-themed TGI Fridays, Bennigans or Houlihans 8/23/2006

Characterless chain restaurant serves very unremarkable, highly-salted, overcooked food. The ambience is like a college dining center or corporate cafeteria. Wine markup was unexpectedly high for this category of restaurant. Staff was unpolished. It is an affront to French food to call this place a French brasserie. Pros: Well-lit restaurant; easy parking Cons: Not good French food; heavy markup on wine more

Best Ribs 8/10/2006

Nice ambiance and excellent service. Pay attention to the waiters when they recite the specials for the day as they are usually the best plates. The menu changes seasonally so there's no chance of getting bored. We went on a Monday night which happens to have the half wine bottles on special at half price (had an excellent Rioja half bottle for $22 versus the usual $44; enough for 4 glasses of wine). My husband had the ribs which were espectacular, meat falling of the bone, moist, the best... Pros: Ambience, Service, Espectacular Food Cons: Somewhat Pricey more
