I have not dined at this restaurant for many years the last time was in 1999. The mussels back then were perfect. This time they lacked flavor. Usually I like to dip the bread and fries in the garlic-rich broth, but this time the broth tasted very bland. \r

Our white wine came out to the table late we were already finished with the first course when it arrived and it was warm. When I told the waitress she actually argued with me about how I just didnt know about wine. This is very sad and embarrassing for her and the restaurant. By the time we finished the last glass the wine was finally cold enough. We did not bother to order another.\r

The house salad barely had enough dressing to taste. I like French vinaigrette with the mustard zing, but this lacked any of the usual characteristics found in a well-made salad.\r

We ordered an assortment of desserts and most were very good. However, you must know that the meringue dish with blueberries and creme anglais seemed quite like an unfinished piece of work. The meringue was actually raw, and I am not wrong when I say this. I can whip up an excellent buttercream and I know raw egg white and I know cooked egg whites and these were raw.
Pros: Nice atmosphere - You feel like you're in France
Cons: Food not nearly as good as in France
