| - We originally wanted to go to Mon Abi Gabi, but the line was ridiculous and we didn't have a reservation. Since all we really wanted to do was get a decent meal and then go out play some games (vs. standing in line), we decided to walk around and see what else there was. Ran into this place with no line. Probably a sign of what to expect, but we didn't care at this point.
They seated us right away. Yay! Menu wasn't that bad, but our waiter was horrible. I asked him about some of the beers on the menu and he couldn't answer. I then asked him if the beers were just light colored or dark colored and he said he didn't know. Okay whatever, give me the french beer since this is supposed to be a french establishment. Also asked him a few other questions about the menu such as, "what's one of the popular items?" He just kept pointing us to the specials. Well I actually ended up ordering the special. That night it was something along the lines of 'american in paris.' How bad could it be?
Ribeye. How can you mess that up? Well I guess if the cow that it comes from is low grade ghetto, then I guess its not gonna taste that good. I felt like I was eating a steak and eggs meal at Denny's. It was bad. Meal also came with 2 sides. I ordered a baked potato and the creamed spinach. The creamed spinach was actually pretty good, but the baked potato that came out was mac n cheese (dude got the order wrong). I didn't care and ate the mac n cheese anyways cause I was hungry and I was fine with it. It wasn't bad, wasn't the best either. The ribeye killed it though. I could have gotten a better ribeye anywhere else (maybe even Denny's).
The French Onion Soup was pretty good. Or maybe it was the first thing I ate there and I was super hungry. I couldn't tell. All in all, mediocre establishment and horrendous service. I would save your time and money and get some crepes across the walkway there. Or if you had more patience than us, wait in line at Mon Abi Gabi.
