In short: decent tasting but overpriced food, slim portions, good atmosphere possibly outside? hot/stuffy inside, dumb/ditsy waitress, poor service overall\r
Food: I got the Duck L'Orange ($23) and my friend got the Beef Bourguignon ($22). The duck was decent, but not really impressive. I had a forkful of my friends beef, and it seemed kind of tough/rubbery. Both dishes were flavorful, but the portion sizes were noticeably small for the price paid. \r
Atmosphere: Nice, clean, kind of romantic, but not too intense. With a candle per table, it felt extremely warm and it was actually quite humid inside (We ate inside, but I would have chosen outside if I could do it again, though it might have been too cold.)\r
Service: When I tried to make reservations earlier in the day (weeknight), the guy had difficulty understanding what I was saying. I was born in the U.S. and do not speak with any type of accent; go ahead and read between the lines. So I had to slowly repeat and spell out my last name and recite my phone number a half a dozen times before he said ""okay, thank you"" and hung up the phone. I got a phone call later in the day from someone at the restuarant asking for someone with a last name other than mine... she wanted to clarify a reservation that one of the earlier shift employees made... I find out from the person that the guy who originally took down my reservation wrote it on a napkin, Not only did he get my last name wrong (come on, it's 4 letters long!), but he got the wrong day & time! It was a waste of a phone call and my time!\r
Anyways, we wanted to get the chocolate souffle that everyone's been raving about, so I order it right when we sit down (cuz I guess it takes a while to prepare)... the waitress totally forgot about it, and tried to make it up with chocolate mousse cake on the house... not a bad recovery attempt, but I still wanted souffle!\r
also, it took a while to get my water glass refilled... in such a warm environment, I was kind of thirsty...\r
Pros: flavor of food
Cons: service, price, portions
