| - OK I hate to do this to Cheuvront- write a bad review when I've been here many times and had a great experience and not written a review. But, I'm afraid that my recent experience was indicative of a change in the restaurant, and maybe I'm contributing to a turnaround, who knows? But, as a disclaimer, I have been to Cheuvront many times before this and had a good to great experience. This review is for the dinner I had there last saturday night.
So, having had great meals here, Sweet Pea and I decided to take the in-laws while they were in town. The experience started off badly and only got worse. We came in around 8:30 and were seated right away. However, as soon as my butt hit the seat, the hostess turned to me (I guess I looked like the authority of the group of us) and said "um, the kitchen is kind of backed up. Can you wait 15 minutes?" I looked at her with what must have been a very confused expression, and asked "15 minutes? Like, I have to wait 15 minutes before anyone even comes to talk to me??" and she said "yes, is that a problem?" Again, I looked at her incredulously and said "well, I guess I don't really have a choice, do I?" to which she just looked down and shuffled away.
Then I was left to explain to Sweet Pea and the in-laws WTF she was just asking me. An inauspicious start to an evening that we'd made big promises about. Now, I don't know why she said this at all because our waitress was over shortly. But, before she got there, said hostess came by and glumly slapped 4 wine glasses on our table...2 of which were dirty. Not just dirty, one of them ACTUALLY STILL HAD WINE IN IT. I am not joking. So that was strike 2 for the in-laws to see...I was starting to feel about 1 inch tall, as I'm sure Sweet Pea was.
We ordered a selection of cheeses after raving that, although the whole dinner may not have started out well service-wise, the cheeses at Cheuvront are remarkable and a "must-try". Our salads came out...and then our main courses. No cheese. We started wondering, were they doing it French-style, after the meal? There was no further wondering when they brought out the dessert menu, then the check. No mention of the cheese whatsoever. It's like Sweet Pea going through the cheese menu WITH THE VERY SAME WAITRESS and selecting 4 cheeses never happened.
Get your act together, Cheuvront. There are tons of great restaurants opening downtown almost very other week, and being an "establishment" means nothing in these times...look at My Florist.
