I'm surprised by all the positive reviews for this restaurant. It seemed very much Amateur Hour to us this evening. Maybe just a bad night. Service was indifferent; went long stretches without any sight of the wait staff, even though it was early and not busy. No one smiled, except the trainee server. In fact, they all seemed as if they would rather be somewhere else. Perhaps they were attempting to affect a haughty French demeanor? Most were dressed in a borderline slovenly fashion. Overall the ambiance was the opposite of upscale contemporary; more like minimalist diner. Food was meh. Not much actual meat in the meat dishes. Won't be back. And won't be doing the Tour De Bruell again. Too much variation in the quality of the restaurants. We would have been better off just going to L'Albatros six times. Oh, one more thing: when we sat down, we asked the server (not the trainee) to stamp our Tour cards, and he asked, "Do you want me to do that now, or wait until the end of the meal?" Did he think we were going to grab our stamped cards and run out without ordering an entree? Really? Just not a classy place.
