| - We went with another couple last week and were hoping to have a great meal since we all live nearby and enjoy French food. We were seated at a small round table that would never be considered a four top in other restaurants, even though larger tables were empty. We ordered mussels to share, onion soups, wines by the glass, some red some white, two orders of scallops in puff pastry and two orders of bouillabaisse. A lot of food for a tiny table. The mussels were good, but nothing special, the onion soup was ok, far from the best we ever had, and the scallops, though cooked well were not in as described in puff pastry, but sandwiched napoleon style. The biggest issue was the bouillabaisse. Our friend requested no calamari in his. The server said ok, and when she bought the dishes she placed them in front of each diner. After a few tastes our friend realized his dish had calamari and summoned the server. My husband realized his dish did not have any calamari. The server acknowledged the mistake but made no offer to correct it. Fortunately it was a food dislike and not a food allergy issue. However, my husband likes calamari, and did not get any. At $45 for a bowl of bouillabaisse that is inexcusable. The server never offered to bring him a side of calamari, a refill of wine, or a complimentary dessert.
Though the food was worth going back for, the service was so disappointing and it is clear that the staff is not looking for repeat customers
