this one just isn't cutting it for me.

Built on reputation and no solid follow-up to keep it. Sadly, this restaurant has been so spoiled for the Loehmann's shoppers that they've forgotten what made them great.

The food has since turned to mediocre, and the passerbys gawking at you has become a huge nuisance. Oh not that I have anything against sidewalk cafes or eateries, they're tons of fun, but this one just isn't cutting it for me.

Below expectation. Do not try their onion soup.

Finally got a chance to go and check out this place for lunch. Service was fine, but the food was below expectation.

What was good?

The Pate. The highlight of the meal.

What was bad?

The onion soup. It was like putting a large pitch of salt in your mouth. I had to send it back after the first bite.

Everything else(Salmon, Tuna sandwich, steak tartare and Ham sandwich) were below average or average.

We spent $150 for four people at lunch. I would suggest you take your money and go somewhere else.

• Pros: Pate. That was the only highlight of the meal.
• Cons: No parking, bad food

Had way too much fun at the bar!

If you're looking to go out for the night by yourself, then I'd definitely give this place a try. It's hidden and I really liked the ambience of the Parisian style setting. You have to sit at the bar if there is space. Bar is a bit small but I actually prefer it that way. Bartender David made great drinks and I really liked the friendly staff members. I forget the name of the blonde hostess, but I think she's very hot! Portion sizes were perfect. The pan-seared trout and the ahi tuna were perfectly done. The sauce wasn't over powering. Go and meet the frienly staff. Food is really tasty and it really was a gastronomical experience. It appears that this is my new favorite place. Will definitely go back for more. Oh, I forget! Nice weekend Jazz music too! It was very soothing.
