| - Me: I don't know how to review this without feeling like a traitor to my love of French food.
Craig: Well, let's be honest and start with the good. The flavors were good.
Me: They were! They really, really were. And the bread was the star.
Craig: Yeah, we might leave with some bread.
Me: But the entrées were lukewarm--after coming from the kitchen seconds before.
Craig: Literally.
Me: If they had been hot, they'd have been great. But it seemed like they had been sitting out a while, which I can't explain as I customized my order.
Craig: The desserts were also somewhat lacking.
Me: Yeah, such a disappointment! It seemed like they were a few days old.
Craig: But it's Monday.
Me: I love the decor, though. The rolling pins and bread boards and China plates. It looks like a restaurant you *might* find in southern France--if it were Americanized.
Craig: You could convince yourself of that. But I do like that there was a real fire.
Me: Yes, which is exactly what one needs in southern Arizona. But the staff were all very nice.
Craig: They were. And *very* new.
Me: I want to give this a second chance because I think it has potential.
Craig: It does. I was gonna say that as well.
Me: But I really, really hope all the food is fresh and hot next time. If it were, I could see this as a place I'd come back to a lot, and it'd be at least four stars for me. As a side note, the ordering process is a bit of a hassle. I think they should with go with a take-out option and a traditional dine-in service with waiters.
Craig: Yeah, I agree.
Me: Okay, so we'll give it one more shot and update after.
