| - I was ravenous when we got here. That being said, everything should have been superb and beyond expectations. This wasn't the case.
To start, we had some of their French bread with butter, and this was satisfying. I then had the French onion soup, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was so cheesy, and the portion was rather large. At this point, I probably could have stopped eating, but I had already ordered a main course.
It took forever to come out.
By the time it did, we were all full from the bread and soups. Much of the food seemed as though it had been sitting out for awhile. The french fries were cold and had to be sent back. My friend's medium rare salmon came out well done and had to be remedied. My special of the day - roast beef sandwich with truffle aioli - was surprisingly small. The meat tasted more stewed than roasted. I also ordered spinach as a side instead of fries, and I've never had it cooked this way before. Usually I get spinach raw in a salad, or completely sauteed. This dish was neither. It looked like the spinach was barely warmed up in a pan, giving it a strange texture, and it was so salty, it was fairly inedible. I tried taking a few forkfuls and gave up. I should have gotten the fries, I guess.
