I'm teetering on whether to give this place a good review, or a terrible one.... \r

I've been going to Le Happy for the past year and a half every few months or so. I always love the atmosphere, which is really cozy, dark and romantic. Their drinks and crepes are probably some of the best you can get in town. (Trust me, I went to Chez Machin, and I couldn't even swallow one of theirs....) And the service, USED to be quite good! There is/was a great waiter there who is always super friendly and helpful and who I hope to get when I visit.\r
\r

Now they made an unfortunate mistake by hiring a new ""too-cool-for-school"" waitress (their only waitress I believe) who has made every visit miserable. Its turned from ""Le Happy"" to ""Le Painful"". \r

After sitting at our table for about 20 minutes with no water, no menus, no trace of getting any service-- nothing-- I decided to get up from my chair and kindly ask the waitress (who was hanging out by the bar) if we could at least see menus. I got a venimous lashing from her telling us that she was busy and that we should just ""HOLD ON"". I looked around to see if we were the only ones getting this treatment. No... it was pretty consistent. Every table was barren, or completely full of empty plates and glasses. There were looks exhanged by neighboring tables and lots of finger drumming. \r

SO, to not end on a bad note. I absolutely LOVE this place. They play great music, the atmosphere is perfect and their crepes and drinks are always amazing. They just need to either a) hire more servers or b) medicate and/or fire the terrible waitress they have working there now.\r

I'm definitely holding off recommending it to anyone until they do something about this.
Pros: ambience, food
Cons: bad service
