My third time at this delightful French Bistro, but it was not a charm. Sat upstairs to be away from hubbub at the bar and the door, but it may have impacted the entire experience because of the distance from the bar and the kitchen. Server was not around to put in drink order, so placed w the kind manager who passed by! Chicken mousse was delightful, again! Both Hangar steaks were undercooked, came without bernaise sauce, so sent back and it was cooked nicely but still was not hot. Bouillabaisse was deconstructed w/ a platter of nicely cooked fish but instead of broth a cup of also unheated thick gravy? Trout was outstanding. The server was not upstairs whenever we seemed to need her, so generally inattentive. Never got her name so when we said, “miss” to get her attention three times, the last one louder, she asked us if we were ok? Dining upstairs may be a work in progress…to get drinks timely and food to patron hot!

3rd time there. Food continues to get better. Service continues to get worse. Doesn’t refill water, checks wrong, cards missing, ordered items missing, incredibly slow bar, etc. if they can fix the service it will be amazing.

My friend and I went to Chouette this evening. Our server was the absolute best. She couldn’t have been more lovely and fun. Our first and second course were fantastic. We had the bacon tarte, escargot, and the lyonnaise salad. These all were too die for. They were incredibly good. The bread and butter was also scrumptious. My friend had the duck, which I thought was good but she thought was too salty. I had the linguine and was so sad it was inedible. The seafood was cooked perfectly. However the sauce, to me, tasted heavily of balsamic vinegar. The server took it off the menu. She said the chef said it might have something to do with the sherry they put in the sauce. That makes sense because it had a very sharp, sour taste to it that was not complimentary to the rest of the ingredients. My friend also said it didn’t look like any of the pictures she saw online of the dish.
