My vote is actually 3 1/2. I want to love a French restaurant in my neighborhood and it looks like most people are crazy about Lumiere. I have been a few times and briefly, the decor is beautiful and soothing. The noise level is quite high. The service is a bit off. Sometimes it seems a bit unfriendly and sometimes simply poor. Sometimes it is pleasant, but I pick up a bit of an unhappy vibe. Food-wise, the escargot with Pernod were divine and salads have been very good. Same with cocktails and wine suggestions. The bread is delicious. Several dishes have been uber-salty. I am a huge duck fan, but the meat in the duck confit was way too salty. In fact because of that, I recently requested low salt on my scallop entree - the scallops arrived, loaded with coarse salt! The kitchen crew, visible thru a big open window, looks super organized and professional. Well, c'est la vie - I'll try again.
