This is the last of my summerlicious reservations and by this point, I was hard to impress. Auberge had a tough job to do - and it hit the spot on most counts. It only paled in comparision to Canoe ... but that is mainly b/c I preferred Canoe's spectacular view and earthly food.
All in all, Auberge succeeded in terms of ambiance - it was cozy and inviting. Quite romantic for a date .. if you were on one. The service was good when it came to being friendly and attentive. However, the delay inb/t courses was a failure. I had not been made to wait that long for a bread basket before. And I think the lag time between each dish was probably around 15 minutes. Also, when I left, the clients waiting by the door were complaining about the wait time (one said that this was the 'most terrible wait time for a reservation').
The food was good - the cod was a bit interesting (since it was creamed up and pureed) but very pulled together. The chicken tasted quite mild but pleasing. I would have liked a bit more kick to it tho. As for dessert, the mousse was a great end with its combo of sweet-and-tart.
I would probably return for another *licious event but I recommend the first seating as the second seating appeared to be waiting for AGES.
