I feel like this place has a lot of potential, but is seriously missing the mark in some ways.
First of all - French or German? (Swiss?) Name is French, most of the decorations are French, but food is German. Now - I'm all for German food (as this seems to be the only place offering any in Chambanavoy). But what exactly are you all going for? Confusion?
Next up - it just seems some details are missing. Let's see here - a lot of the silverware was actively dirty. We're talking actual chunks of stuff sticking to knives. Really guys? Syrup was just that - syrup. Not maple syrup. I know the real stuff costs more - but when you buy it in bulk it really is not that bad. I should know - my house goes through that stuff like it's water.
As for service - everything was fine except that they didn't bring all our plates out at once. I'm not saying they went back to grab the others. I'm saying there was a 10 minute delay. Isn't that taught in Restaurant 101?!
My food was decent, but nothing to write home about. Others in my party seemed a bit more pleased. $1 mimosas are never a bad idea. They have a solid beer selection - way way way way better than most restaurants. It doesn't really seem like a place to drink beer - but still. Nice selection. No fresh squeezed orange juice. Lame.
Another odd note: They didn't charge my credit card until about two weeks after I had been there. Not that I mind so much - but still - huh?
I mean - they're clearly trying. They are obviously new - and I expect good things from them in the future. But they're not there yet. No sir. I hope to post a 5 star update sometime in the future.
