| - First time to this quaint bistro--the atmosphere was great, had live music that was wonderful. The white table clothes and napkins add to the wonderful ambiance. The wine selection is okay--some selections. Initially, started with the escargot--very nice presentation, the escargot were served with a tomato, mushroom and bacon infused creamy garlic and parsley butter--very good. Moved on to the mozzarella caprese salad--presentation was good, on the large side with lettuce. The mozzarella seemed rubbery and not fresh and the tomatoes tasted on the under ripe side--hard and no flavor. Moved on to the classic onion soup--this was presented very well with lots of onions and cheese--very good flavor. Main course was herb crusted lamb chops. The presentation looked very nice, but the lamb was tough, the herb crusted coating was more in line with a "shake n bake" coating and not very well prepared. The garlic infused mashed potatoes were alright--nothing special. Moved on to the cheese plate--was nicely presented and had four varieties of cheeses, served with some fruit and crackers. The desert was an apple tarte tatin--this was not presented well, the puff pastry was flat and soggy, the apples were more in line with brown applesauce and the plate was overflowing with whipped cream--not tasty at all. Not sure if this was an off night or if this was standard fare, based on the previous Yelp reviews. I was not impressed with the service--seemed to have three waiters/waitresses and one back waitress and they appeared to be overwhelmed and not interested in serving. Will try again another time to see if any improvements have been made.
