Initially I always try to give the benefit of doubt, but in this case I'd have to be candid regarding the iffy, inconsistent service. In it' rather audacious attempt to distinguish itself from other restaurants, at least in this instance this potential little gem failed miserably in the area where there is little room for excuse, and that is service; and to describe it as deplorable is an understatement. My return for Sun brunch following a good first time Fri night excursion turned into a fiasco, when after waiting forty-five minutes for the order I'd placed was told by the apologetic server that she'd forgotten to turn it in. I looked at her like she was crazy. And then even after I told her to just give my guest and I a to-go box it still took them another thirty minutes to finally prepare and box it. And this occurred in a less than full house of patrons, I can't even utter to the absurdity, and given the fact it nearly ruined theater plans I had I was furious. As much as I initially enjoyed the overall ambiance and food, it will be a little time before I return or recommend to anyone. There are basic rules of common courtesy and appropriate standards of etiquette you would expect a restaurant would want to extend to it' customers, as I'm sure most customers expect as well. Though I understand the desire to recreate the authenticity of a French bistro with the ultra casual atmosphere, and while that type service may be the norm there, perhaps someone need remind them this ain't FRANCE. Go only if you have hours to wind away.
Pros: Food, ambience.
Cons: Service, parking.
