I read a review here about Bar Tartine recently which contradicts all the experiences I've had there. This place has great food, wine, and ambiance, friendly/attentive staff, decent prices, great location--what else do you want? I love going there.
Showing up at a restaurant 5 minutes before closing with a large group of friends might not always work out, anywhere you go. And sometimes corks are hard to remove, through no fault of the staff.
This is a top notch neighborhood place, and I'd hate to see its rep harmed by one disgruntled diner. (And the bread is dreamy.)
Pros: romantic lighting, nice room, food, wine, service!
Cons: hot days too warm
