  • For Valentines Day decided to try something different (one of our fav spots is Fahernheit) and heard great things about L'Albatros. Located in a very cool/cozy section of town, we were promptly greeted and at first blush- the atomosphere was pretty chic. Seated quickly and met by our server whom was VERY nervous. Infact, I don't think he could spit out the specials quick enough let alone understood (fully) what it was he was talking about. I know we didn't. He took our drink orders and after several minutes we were given bread to munch on. The drinks took wayyy too long to get to the table. After our drinks did come; it became very apparent there was too much stuff for our little table. looking around, you realize the little details have been over looked. Salt and pepper shakers that look like thier at home in TGIfridays, and even the lighting/music didn't quite fit. Moving on, we ordered our app (Pork Rillettes) which we didn't realize was served cold, it tasted odd and had the consistancy of tuna fish. I then had the French Onion Soup. - this was GREAT!!! infact it was the only part of our meal that left an impression. I had the Hanger Steak and she had the Salmon. Neither one of our entree's stood out in our mind to be memorable. It wasnt until our entree's were cleared did our server begin to show a personality. The staff overall (from our view point) appeared rushed, disorganized and not the 'grace under fire' one expects in this type of resturant. Being a former Certified Sous Chef of the ACF and having worked in the business (Boston) for ten years; the number one thing I note in Cleveland is poor consistancy and lack of execution. I am a foodie, but far from a food snob or ego maniac. Sadly, even Fahrenheit is spotty at times. For consistancy we go to Salmon Daves in River. Or for a great Steak; Mortons. And that's SAD! I love privately owned places like L'Abatros- and WANT you to not only succeed; but help put Cleveland on the map!! I shouldn't have to drive 45 minutes from westlake to Chez Francouis (which is one of the most impressive restaurants I've been too!) to get a great experience. Come on Chef! Make me want to get in my car and drive 35 minutes to L'Albatros!!! :) CS.
