Wow, this was a really disappointing experience!
My husband and I had been meaning to try this restaurant for quite some time since it's in our neighborhood and we love french dining.
We were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and thought it would be a great opportunity to try it. We had just returned from a trip to the south of France and thought what better way to reminisce about our trip than with a lovely french dinner on our special day.
We were not impressed. To start we ordered a couple of pre-dinner glasses of prosecco and mentioned that we would be ordering a separate bottle for our main course. She took the wine menu and said she would return with it before our meals arrived but she never did.
The appetizers were very mediocre. I had the duck and brandy liver pate from the
Thanksgiving menu. It seemed quite dry and although this entree was to come with crispy garlic bread there was no hint of garlic at all on any of the breads.
The mains then arrived and we had not been given a chance to select a wine! She ran off to find a menu. By the time we were given the menu, picked the wine and had it delivered and opened our meals were cold.
At that point I had tasted my lamb chops and they were very over cooked. I ordered medium rare and they were very well done, not a hint of pink. The server offered to replace them but then I would be sitting there on our anniversary eating nothing while my husband ate his meal alone and vice-versa when mine arrived so ultimately I decided to just suck it up and eat them. Very blah, couscous was dry and flavour was very bland. Chops were dry and greasy.
In recompense for the disappointment our server said she would tie the napkin on our bottle of wine in a special way in order to celebrate the special occasion. Whaaat? Oh that's awesome. Thanks a bunch.
We ordered a desert to split. It wasn't memorable. I was surprised that she even charged us for the dessert since we were so disappointed on this special occasion.
Don't go here if you are expecting a real French experience. What was potentially a regular go-to restaurant for us turned into a place that we will mostly likely never visit again.
