In Short
This French eatery has all the trappings of a Parisian bistro re-creation, from the zinc bar to the pressed-tin ceiling. Downstairs, the dining room is operates like a busy urban eatery; upstairs, a more serious vibe prevails, with roomy, ruby-red booths, crisp, white tablecloths and rolling carts that deliver diners' meals. The upstairs serves prime beef, while the more modest cafe offers working-class French fare. Bubbling pots of traditional kirsch-spiked Gruyere fondue are popular.

Food was just fine until my wife noticed the chef/ cook reaching into the shredded lettuce bowl with his bare fingers, forking it into his mouth, and then wiping his fingers on his apron. We were then served our dinners using this self same lettuce. I would not have said anything, except it made me so ticked off... if this guy has something I don't want on his hands it's going in my mouth... just wanted to stop it also going into your mouth too. (This review is for the Bistro downstairs only).

I love this restaurant. I have been for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The fondu is great. I love shopping with my daughter and then stopping in for fondu and salad. It's one of my favorite restaurants! Service is very good. Exceptional ambiance upstairs. I enjoy sitting outside - - and people watching. It's located near the fountain, so there is so much to keep us entertained.

Succulent fruit of the sea (oyster on the 1/2 shell) is what I longed for; dirty stinky tasting feet is what I got. Of course I returned them. I can only pray physically I do not contract some vial disease nor to dismiss the detestable branding on my brain. The $15.00 blt contained 3 cuts from 1/2 pc bacon on one side of 1/2 sandwich. My $10.00 bloody mary was overpowered with worstershire sauce. No condiments and no liquor AND since the waiter whom I must say was very nice just did not make it as a server.(maybe a Dr.) The poor gal trying to light the candles did all the extra stuff which should have been the norm, caught grief from the bartender complaining the server should be handling the Witch(me) I politely reminded the gal to inform the ((Ihate to call him a bartender (not to insult the profession) ))mixer of drinks pphft. He needs to go back to the school of libations. +++ Do they think the patron cannot hear their innuendos and remarks. PLUS the false advertising on the menu discribing . OH WELL!!! If this is your idea of a good time Morels is for you. HOWEVER If you are from and on this planet, GO ANYWHERE ELSE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME sunshine1000
