| - This restaurant is very busy at lunch so I'm glad we had made reservations.
I decided to order the Salmon fillet on a crusty bun, and that came with salad. For being a busy lunch time place, it sure took a while for us to get our food, almost 25 minutes, which I think is a bit slow. Good thing the server brought us a few pieces of bread and butter to share.
I wasnt impressed at all with the presentation of the food, especially this being a restauratn that falls under the category of French cuisine, which is more known for the way their food is plattered. The bun had a bit of sauce and the salmon fillet plopped inside. That's it. No lettuce, or anything else. It said it was a cilantro aioli I believe but it looked red, and soaked the bun making the inside of it soggy, not crusty as they said. It looked so pathetic. But the salmon did taste good. My salad was a bit old looking, cause it was somewhat soft, and had zero dressing on it. This was a common complaint with the others at my table, no dressing, just lettuce leaves, no tomatoes, cucumber, anything, just plain lettuce. I think for $16 dollars, you should get a few garnishes with the meal.
The other ladies I was with had the risotto (pretty good), the lamb burger(very good, minus the salad issue) and the hanger steak sandwich (a bit overcooked, but good).
I would try this place again, and hopefully this time if the food takes 25 minutes, that at least it looks like a good effort has been put forth when plating the food.
That being said, the service was good, and our waiter kept cracking jokes to make us laugh - which was nice.
