Service was very slow. Took our drink orders and we were ready to order food shortly after. Noticed no servers or employees were serving the 4 other tables either. Drinks finally came for every single table at the same time. I tried to order the Salad Lyonnaise, they were out of that. Then I tried to order the Superb Roast Chicken Thigh, only to be told that they didn’t have that either. They were also out of the Burrata Appetizer. Altogether, as our server notified us, they only had 4 of the 7 entrees, steak, pasta, and two salmon dishes. I opted for the Salmon Cake. A salad took over most of the plate and the salmon cake was dry.

We were seated on time, bar and the front door staff were pleasant, the steak frites were a 10 out of 10, the Caesar salad and cookie dessert were very good. Burrata was just okay. Drinks at bar…not great. Overall a good night and tasty food. We will return for the steak frites.

All for all a very pleasant experience, however, they need to turn down the lights by 2/3 to create any sort of an intimate ambience suitable for fine dining. I felt like I was in an airplane assembly hangar with floodlights beating down on every square millimeter. The food and the drinks however were excellent, worth their French prices.

The restaurant was very slow and quiet. From entry, people were asking to help. My server continually checked in on me. My food items were very tasty. While the sweet and spicy wings were tasty on the outside, I wish they were marinated that way before frying. After ingesting the exterior, the inside of the wings was bland. So I had to keep mixing the bottom of the caramelized pepper mixture to get some flavor.

I was not impressed with their food, and need to have better food items. Worst onion soup I've ever had, and egg rolls too. The food and liquor are a bit expensive. I don't mind paying, but the food has to be worth it.
