| - Merci? Thank you? Well, actually no thank you and we'll be taking our money elsewhere moving forward. Here's why:
We arrived at Merci around 1:00pm to enjoy some lunch. In arriving to the cute little French cafe, the decor is bright and lively. So far so good. So naturally we would have such high hopes for the meal and service.
Service: Horrendous. It started off okay, the waitress mentioned all of the specials from mussels to ahi sandwich etc. I ordered mussels with fries as it sounds divine while the boyfriend ordered a prosciutto sandwich. It takes her a few minutes to run back and state that their mussels ran out. That's fine, it happens. I went ahead and ordered the other special, Ahi sandwich. Which the waitress disappeared to put my order in. After about 15 minutes of waiting for our food, a different waitress came back and first states "don't hate us, but we don't have that either." At this point, it was ridiculous. Why would it take you so long to realize there wasn't enough to Tuna?? Secondly, why would you include that in your special when you spoke with us if you're OUT? The communication from the kitchen to the wait staff was obviously lacking. Disappointing.
Meal: Finally our sandwiches arrived. We both were starving and hoping for the food to at least be better than the service. NOPE. We both opt out of the salad for the fries. First off, the fries were cold. Like it was fried this morning and they were even too lazy to reheat. The sandwiches were SAD! It's was like a reheated school lunch! Come on!! I thought this is a French cafe....what happened? Oh and while we try to eat our lackluster sandwiches, nothing from the waitress to see how we're doing. ZERO. NOT A PEEP. No care at all. They stood there chatting away.
Overall, don't waste your time. We stopped here for pastries in the past and that was fairly good. But obviously the food and service sucked.
