| - I know, this place gets so much foodie love I'm probably breaking laws to give it three stars, but...
We arrived on a Sunday morning in December. It was busy. There was not a seat to be found inside or out. Nor is there a waiting area, so get over feeling bad about hovering over someone. And there isn't a wait list, so yes, you might have to slide into a seat before someone fully vacates it. Aaaannnd there seems to be some etiquette lacking--people sitting at tables waiting for to-go orders, people camping out for hours (not really the place to do that, you selfish six top). What can I say? I like some rules, or someone in charge at the restaurant who keeps things moving along.
We waited 40 minutes for our food. I took a phonecall outside and while I was on the phone, a server walked up and asked where I was sitting. She then delivered the dessert crepe to my husband. Starving, I sat down and started in. Then someone else reappeared to tell me I was EATING SOMEONE ELSE"S FOOD. I was mortified. They brought it to me! She took it away.
10 min later our food appeared. I took a bite. It was pure bliss. I mean, just incredible. Really gourmet taste, beautifully plated. 5 star food, but I give 1 for service (slow and bad) and atmosphere (I should not have to fight for a damn table). We won't be back--the food wasn't worth the hassle and embarrassment.
