Awful

by JsSanFran

Where do I begin? The Maitre D' is rude. The service is terrible. It took more than an hour for our entrees to arrive, and the waiter seemed oblivious. Our food was overpriced, bland and not cooked properly. My wife's chicken was undercooked(!), and I ordered my steak medium rare but it was cooked well done. We sent both back, my wife's entree returned about 10 minutes later overcooked, and it took another 20 minutes for my steak to arrive - and it was overcooked again!

Avoid this place at all costs.

Mediocre food and service

by mflundy

Our dinner was initially delivered to the wrong table. When we did get our meal the food was at room temperature and bland.

The waiter didn't tell us about the specials, but told the other tables the specials after we had already ordered.

The dessert was suppose to be a macaroon, but had the consistency of a large cookie.

Overall we were very disappointed with the service and the food.

  • Pros: The Decor
  • Cons: The food and the service

Like a French-themed TGI Fridays, Bennigans or Houlihans

by senatorsmith

Characterless chain restaurant serves very unremarkable, highly-salted, overcooked food. The ambience is like a college dining center or corporate cafeteria. Wine markup was unexpectedly high for this category of restaurant. Staff was unpolished. It is an affront to French food to call this place a French brasserie.

  • Pros: Well-lit restaurant; easy parking
  • Cons: Not good French food; heavy markup on wine
