Really wanted to like this place. Had heard good things so finally decided to try it out. The physical space is nice, they did a good job with the decor. The menu was ok, nothing special. Champagne list (by the glass, I didn't bother with the bottle list) was kind of a joke - the prices and what was available already turned me off. The pastries were actually quite good... I will give them that. I was a bit full after a few pastries and the vanilla scented butter and would have been much better off had I stopped there. Had the Tuna ""sandwich"" as a starter, which ended up being brought together with our main courses... big loss of points there... watching the server and waiter try and put two main dishes and a ""starter"" on the table at the same time, before we even finished our pastries was pretty comical. Waiter didn't seem to notice or care until I mentioned something to him... instead of saying he was sorry and trying to fix the situation he blamed it on a computer error... really? Like you don't know that its not appropriate to serve a starter and main together... ok. So on to the food. The Tuna ""starter"" was awful, pretty much not even edible - the taste was off, and the bread was as hard as a brick... pass. Had the salmon benedict and while the taste was actually pretty good... it was cold. Had the Anisette Omelette which was also cold and even though I had requested the eggs cooked medium, they were hard and way overdone, served with cold soggy toast. When I brought up the situation to the manager... she ended up talking to the chef (who happened to be sitting a few tables from us). He proceeded to insult my girlfriend in French, not thinking we understood. They offered to comp our pastries, which I felt a pretty weak attempt at correcting the situation. When we left the Manager was unavailable, but needless to say we will not return again.
Pros: Not enough to recommend.
Cons: Horrible service. Rude chef. Below average food. Way overpriced.
