| - This review is specific to BRUNCH ONLY.
I went on Sunday for brunch with a friend and sat outside. First, I'd say...sit indoors, the street noise was awful. We had to pause conversation everytime a loud truck or motorcycle passed.
The service was terrible. We had to ask for EVERYTHING....from Coffee (and refills) to Salt and Pepper. The only brunch choice was the buffet which offered the strangest choices: it was the first time I'd seen Swedish Meatballs as part of a brunch lineup. Additionally, there were NO egg choices on the line, although you could order scrambled eggs and bacon (no other egg varieties) as well as Chocolate Waffles and Brioche French toast from your server (included in the brunch price). On the line they had house-smoked salmon, but no bagels and creamcheese to go with it (but they did have the capers, boiled egg, and tomato).
The baked goods had some "brunchy" choices, but aside from the fruit and grits on the line, the entire line was an odd assortment of lunch options, none of which impressed me...the mac and cheese was bland and the build your own salad was lacking in choices.
Overall, I'd skip Bistro La Bon for brunch. There are much better options in Charlotte. I will give it a second try, but for dinner next time.
