My husband & I took a friend for dinner there last evening. After a brief spell at an inside table, we were moved outside to a table next to the fence abutting Dupont. I was seated right next to the fence. On the sidewalk, about 4 ft away was a row of large garbage bins waiting for pickup. There were probably a dozen bins. I had noticed them on the way in. Once seated on the Bar Begonia patio, I could immediately smell the garbage. The stench was awful. I didn't say anything at the time as I hoped that our friend, who was seated a couple of feet further from the edge of the patio, couldn't smell the garbage &, my husband can't smell very well. Also, by this time, there were no empty tables outside. The restaurant really needs to do something about this. The smell of the garbage spoiled, for me at least, what would have otherwise been a lovely dinner.
