| - Even though we were the only customers there for the entire dining experience, the service was still terrible (and as others have mentioned in their reviews, the chef was inexplicably yelling at the waitress from time to time, seemingly at random -- was very weird). On top of that the heater was busted (during Winter of course) and it was freezing in there. Honestly, i felt like we were an inconvenience to them by just being there, like we were stopping them from doing something they wanted to do -- maybe they were just angry that the ONE portable heater had to now focus on us. And after all this, the food, which could have rescued the whole experience, was mediocre at best! I honestly thought we were in the wrong restaurant and had to double check in yelp. Unfortunately we weren't. Which sucks because we were all dying for a good French restaurant in our hood and the food did look great in yelp photos. Something must have been happening behind the scenes for this to be so bad and different from what was advertised. I honestly don't like writing such negative reviews for restaurants, especially small ones that look family owned...and it's such a tough, competitive industry. But i just can't find any positives about my experience there...an experience that was NOT CHEAP.
Actually, i lied, i did think of a positive: The experience was so profoundly bad that I'd have to assume something was amiss and that my experience was not usual for them. Oh, and the food didn't make us sick, so, there's that...
And so our search for an authentic, good, local French restaurant continues...
