It seems like the left bank used to be so much better... The last 3 times I've been in there, I've been seated at a table where the server didn't realize he/she was assigned to us. This, of course, resulted in us waiting without haveing our order taken. The last thing I want to do is flag down a waiter and ask them to figure out who is responsible for our table. I shouldn't have to do that in a restaurant that clains to be upscale! The food is not so good anymore. Obviously, it is not close to traditional french cuisine- the salade nicoise is more like sushi over greens with caviar. Kind of weird. Plus the plates are really small compared to their price. The straw that broke the camel's back was when our waiter smelled like he hadn't showered in days and leaned over us to pour the water... ew!
Pros: some of the dishes are good (ie french onion soup)
Cons: bad value, spotty service
