| - After having read and seen so many wonderful photos and reviews, I was quite exited to try Hachoir. Sadly, my excitement disappeared by the end of our meal. This is why...
On Dec 31st at 1:20pm, we(Two people) arrived at the restaurant. We were there for about 90 minutes. During those 90 minutes, we were still only two people in the entire restaurant. Strange and not comfortable eating at such an empty ambiance. Anywho.
We begun our meal with an appetizer of fried calamari. Oh my! They were perfect! Calamari is hard to prepare and often have a tough/rubbery texture to them if not cooked properly. Rest assure, these were perfectly tender, smooth with a lovely light coating on the outside. Served on a delicious saffron mayo. Excellent!
Now for the main dishes.
Knowing their tartare is their specialty, we went ahead and ordered the Boeuf Classicique. Which is none other than the classic tartare along with a few condiments to compliment the meat.
The tartare was outstanding. Meat tasted extremely fresh, perfectly chopped with the right touch of condiments. While you can still taste the meat. Beautifully presented along with thinly slice toasts. They were toasted awhile back, they lacked a bit of freshness. Although the tartare was outstanding, the presentation spoke a bit louder than the meal.
As for myself, I've ordered the classic burger. A generous meat patty that seemed just made and meat was just grounded. It screamed freshness. Decorated with your few typical burger accoutrements. Such as onions, tomatoes, a lovely tender crisp Boston lettuce. All this served alongside of a generous outstanding fries. Freshly cut, made and prepared when ordered.
What is the negative part of all this to give it three stars? As previously mentioned we were a table of two people for the entire restaurant. Along with two staff members, not including the cooks. All this being said.. Our meal did take 45 minutes to arrive to our table. Not once did our waiter apologized or notified us of any delay.
The waiting time for a simple, not overly complicated meal for just two people is simply unacceptable!
When it came time to pay, their credit card machine did not work. No one bothered to notified us prior to paying. They had to reset their entire system and that was another 10 minute wait.
Overall our lunch was excellent. However the restaurant and staff was very poorly prepared for serving us. A disappointment that will make me think twice whether I would return or recommend Hachoir to others.
