| - I have a soft spot for Andre's when it was downtown and I have been to Alize many times, but I have never really loved it...I have tried hard. This last time I was there it finally hit me why I don't care for it. It has that old time french restaurant feel, you know the one where you should be happy you get to dine here. The criteria I use is based on food, service and design. Service is first as you are greeted at the entrance by very nice people, but since the restaurant wasn't full i found it odd they sat us near a waiter station that was very invasive at times. The design, as I sat near the window I thought this was nice, again except for the chatter of the waiters behind me. over all the room looks good but is not designed well, it lacks warmth and doesn't really play off the view in a inclusive way. The service is nice, but again it feels old school french as if they are talking down to you and not engaging you as to creating an evening around you. The food very good, but again it felt as if the portions were a little small and I really hate that feeling, but it might just be me. I don't think I will be back this is probably my 5th time here and I can say that I have tried to keep the romance alive and love how Andre's has grown up, but I can't we have grown apart.
