She arrived at 11:20 and was not forced to "valet" - I arrived at 11:30 and after parking was approached for my keys. Fine. The ambiance was nice and our servers (we had two, one in training) were wonderful. My friend ordered Beef Bourguignon and it was a big piece of fatty meat with over 50% gristle - mostly inedible. I ordered the crepe of the day with French onion soup and it was excellent. We informed the manager about the problem with the Beef Bourguignon and he had seen the remnants in the kitchen and said he would take it off the bill. The bill came and it had not been taken off. My friend pointed this out and the waiters came back with a corrected bill. The birthday bread pudding was complementary and excellent. I went to retrieve my car on this bitter day and the valet was nowhere to be found. All of the keys to the "valeted" cars were sitting in plain sight on top of the podium which is a theft risk. Nonetheless, I tipped the valet $3 in the slot, and retrieved my own keys and car which was right across the parking lot from where I had parked it myself and went home. I will not return.

The food - absolutely delicious and the service impeccable. The wait staff is very welcoming, accommodating and efficient. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch in joyful conversation, feeling no need to “eat and run”. I’m sure they thought we might not leave! :) I always feel as though I’m in a small quaint village in France enjoying a lovely meal at a wonderful neighborhood restaurant.

Onion soup a triumph! And entrees well-prepared and flavorful. Service was fairly spotty, with gaps between ordering cocktails and dinner service. Actually quite a wait between appetizers and dinner, with no explanation nor offer of further beverage service. (we visited the bar for more beverages) In the end, the presentation and taste of food was outstanding. Would visit again and recommend, but promptness and service attention unfortunately lacking.

                                                                    Is this helpful?
