Bistro brunch was delish. Eggs and bacon perfectly cooked. Mimosa was very good. Scrumptious dessert. Impeccable service!

Well - The food was outstanding- as usual And the French onion soup is as expected- fabulous ( it is the only restaurant in the world that’s knows how to salt soup - just perfect - never to much Except- out waiter was more interested in watching the football game than taking care of us - no bread or butter and when I complained he removed our plates and butter knives- and was rude Oh well next time we will ask for a different server
