Disappointed 5/30/2009

We went there with a group of friends on a Saturday evening. The place is small but was nonetheless half empty. However, they do not take reservations. You would think that if they can't fill up to 50% of capacity on a Saturday, they might as well take a reservation, but no such luck. So when our group showed up they made us wait for a long time to put tables together. While waiting for the table we ordered a glass of the house merlot for each of us. The house wine was really bad, as in $5 per bottle from Walmart cheap stuff kind of bad. They appear to be understaffed. All waiters and other personnel were running around and working hard and still they could barely keep up with the half-empty restaurant. As a result, service was less than good. By way of example, when we finished one of our wine bottles we ordered another one and had to remind the waiter 3 times over 15 min to bring out the second bottle. The real disappointment was when the food came out. Friends who ordered steak said their steaks came out cold. The veal was not seasoned well and tasted bland. I ordered duck and it was too salty and overcooked. At the end our checks averaged $140 per couple (which included 3 semi-good bottles of red wine shared among 8 people). Overall, this place is really pricey for the quality of service and food they offer. We will never go there again. There are plenty of other good French restaurants in town to choose from. Cons: Mediocre food and service more
