| - I love the vibe of this place, and there are plenty of good reasons to visit--unfortunately the food isn't one.
So the good--very cute and elegant place. Nice drinks. Friendly staff. Great music. Cozy fireplace. Friends liked the cream of mushroom soup and the curried lentil soup
And the bad--the menu "du jour" says July 2013. So you can see there's no thought or care behind the food. This played out.
The salmon I ordered was old! Definitely heading toward the rank side. The "melted leeks" that accompanied with it were just sautéed leeks, so a really poor menu description.
A friend ordered the steak frites. The fries were good, but the steak, ordered medium, came out medium well to well. The chicken that two other friends ordered was dried out. The creme brûlée was so bad, that two of us had to send it back. Note, I didn't send the old salmon back, so that should tell you how bad the creme brûlée was!
My girlfriend had the beet salad. Nothing inspired about it, but nothing wrong either. So, come here for some drinks, a salad, and good music. Leave a nice tip for the nice servers, but just eat your main meal before you get here. With that on my playbook, I will return.
