    Food was good, service was inconsistent. It was a beautiful day to sit by the water - a staff member opened the windows which was nice.

    We had a good a experience at the Capital Hill location, so we thought we'd try the one at the Wharf. We were seated inside next to a loud table, but there was nobody else in there. It would probably have been more charming on the "indoor patio" overlooking the water. The service was lackluster. Half our party was served and then it was at least 5 minutes before the rest got their food (out of respect, we waited). Those both happened to be the chicken entrees, which neither person liked. The flavors were good on my steak au poivre but it was a very small portion for $46. There are better options in terms of vibe, quality, and value for French food in the area, so while we may give the Capitol Hill location another try someday, we probably won't be back to this one.
