We have been twice to this new french brasserie in last two weeks and the waitservice on the first occaison was spotty. The second time disasteous! The waitress had an attitude, perhaps thinking rudeness was the same as french reserve. She was un-informative about the food especially when the Wednesday Special Duck was almost rare. Her response was that the Chef prepares it that way! Should not the diner who pays for the meal have the choice of how well it is cooked? I was unimpressed when she delivered a bowl for my second course and placed it on the small table before I had finished my first course. I spoke with the manager who thanked me for my input and offered a dessert. I have been told there are many French waiters and should ask for one the next time (if there is a next time).

Pros: most of the food

Cons: untrained and rude waitservice

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Scoring a table (or even a seat at the bar) on weekends can be almost impossible--better to make a reservation at least a day in advance or stop by on a weekday.
