    The place is nice but underwhelming in ambience & decor. I wish the tables had been dressed with white linens and more elegant touches. Our server, Glendy, was very sweet and polite. It was nice to enjoy rose champagne by the glass. The burger and steak were good. Do not miss the carrot cake because it was absolutely delicious.

    We were there for the power lunch (2 course weekday for $29). My husband had the onion soup and burger. I had the salad and the steak frites (which had the surcharge of $12). All 4 courses were absolute perfection. Even with the surcharge, it was still a great value. We will be telling all our friends about it and definitely will be returning.

    We had a severe food allergy at the table, and it was not taken seriously. We asked the waitress several times to check with the kitchen and she ignored the request. The person ended up not being able to order any food with fear that the allergy that is life threatening wouldn’t be taken seriously. The waitress didn’t even then ask the kitchen once the person didn’t order. Handled very poorly.

    Andrew was our server and he delivered great service. He was attentive and charming. We had oysters-lots of yummy oysters. And since we are from Montana, it was an unusually delicious treat.

    Good quality and value at Happy Hour. Ran out of bottomless Rose but substituted. Portions of Tartare too small and charged $6 for 1/2 a baguette without telling. Server Andrew was very good and attentive.

    It was okay. Fries weren’t seasoned very well and the booths are pretty gross and need to be replaced.

    La comida en general muy rica, especialmente la fuente de mariscos, los cuales estaban excepcionalmente frescos. La parte de la Cafetería muy bonita, los desayunos muy ricos. De los mejores omelettes que he comido, con ingredientes de muy buena calidad.

    The food is yummy, coffee is great. I love the decor and the place is comfortable. The biggest letdown is the service - I've been here twice and the service is slow and often takes a few requests to get things.
