| - I only go on Tuesdays to take advantage of their specials
I recently went to L'Acadamie, a French-Italian restaurant that I have been to a few times now. When you walk in, their restaurant is inviting but at the same time vibrant. The décor is classier than what you might expect given their menu price point when I consider other restaurants, and I have noticed that they often have larger groups of diners. I have to say the way the food that we ordered was plated nicely with so many colors. The portion size of each dish is reasonable although it is easy to fill up on the free bread and with appetizers (coquille St-Jacques, Caesar salad and Italian sausage), neither of my dinner companions were able to finish their meals.
I didn't enjoy the prosciutto stuffed chicken because the chicken was really, really dry. The food was decent overall and arrived quickly to the table. The staff member who greeted us upon arrival didn't smile or say hello, and it is often tough to flag down waiters who are sometimes difficult to connect with once they have dropped off the food. Lastly, after I finished my meal, I waited at least twenty minutes to pay our bill. Overall, what you would expect from a reasonably priced dining experience with an inviting décor, good location and fair prices for a menu that will appeal to most. Without the specials, I wouldn't consider the meals to be as good value.
