My wife and I have eaten at La Brioche at least a dozen times. The food is nearly always excellent, but the service is uneven. We went in for Sunday brunch and found the restaurant maybe half-full. We stood at the podium and waited for the hostess to seat us.... and waited..... and waited.... it was a good ten minutes before the hostess appeared (with no apology) and seated us in back when there were plenty of tables by a window--not a big deal though. And we waited.... and waited.... after fifteen minutes of being ignored by several servers going to other tables, my wife got up and reminded the hostess of our existence and that we had not seen a server at our table. Another five to seven minutes of waiting and we got up and left. On our way out, we mentioned that we were leaving to a server who acted like we had told an extremely funny joke. Never again, La Brioche. You have lost our business forever!
BTW, we went to Cafe Hollander in Hilldale where we were seated and waited upon immediately. The food was outstanding too. I strongly recommend Cafe Hollander over La Brioche!!!
