    Fish and chips, we found pathetic. Portions were too small gor what you osid for. A group if 7 women and not one of us has anything good to say. Would not reccomend this place. I found it quite insulting that you would serve those portions to your clientele.

    Everything was perfect, the waitresses did a great job, food was good and drinks too. My only issue is about the hostess, very rude, didn’t greet us or looked up once while I talked to her, chewing a gum and seemed very impolite. I was expecting a better professional for such a nice place. I’m grateful everyone else didn’t disappoint.

    Café en Seine was excellent. I visited today with my brother-in-law. We both had the double smash burger and split a bottle of Malbec. Everything was very tasty. The ambience was very much like being in a large bistro in Paris. What really brought it all together was our server Yvette. She was very attentive and highly efficient…and she was very welcoming and accommodating. We felt like we were her only customers. We’ll be back soon.

And Yvette? She really is the secret ingredient! Knowing that she made you feel like her only guests makes us incredibly proud - she has a way of making every visit feel special. We're looking forward to your next visit. Here's to more unforgettable meals, fabulous company and all the Café en Seine magic we can bring to you!
