| - Once upon a time, Toi Moi et Café used to be good. In my experience anyway. This past year things have been going downhill however: Frequent lack of menu items, burnt food and an increasingly flaky service oblige me to scrape off two stars from my previous generous rating. It's unfortunate, I used to love the place...
To illustrate my point, a few colorful examples include:
The time we went and they didn't have three out of four items my husband asked for on the menu. No milkshake? Alright, a lemonade. There's none either. How about an iced tea? Nope! Okay, coffee then. Well, that they had, at least!
The time we ordered a black burnt crème brulée. I called the waiter over and tried to explain that a crème brulée is not supposed to be "literally" brulée, but that the top is supposed to be a candied hard surface. He brought it back to the kitchen, only to come back to us a few minutes later claiming the cook had said it was how it's supposed to be made, that she was right and we were wrong. She's the only cook in the city that makes a charred crème brulée, but you know what, she's right! Oh well... We have never ordered this dessert we love so much there again.
There's one thing that amidst the storm remains consistent at Toi Moi et Café, and it's their coffee. It's always good. There's still hope.
