   Excellent food and service! We ordered several items that were prepared perfectly and our server recommended side dishes and wines for us to enjoy. We'll be back.

   While the food presented was hot, the salad was bland lacking flavor, & the cremini mushroom soup served had a strong olive oil taste, & the mushrooms could’ve been better sautéed to blend in.

   My partner loved the beef Bourguignon and I enjoyed the salmon, although I sent my first portion back to be cooked a little longer as it was lukewarm and red in the center. The vegetables were excellent and the creme brulee was good.

   La Gare was highly rated by our hotel, so we had good expectations. We made reservations a week in advance for 5:00 and asked if the meal we wanted would be available on a Sunday night. The answer was sure. When we arrived, we were seated in a side room that was diner-like & musty. We asked to be seated in the main dining room, which was half full, but the answer was there was no room. The server was nice but pushed us to order right away. We had to ask for bread & he forgot to tell us that the meal we wanted wasn't available. The meal we ended up ordering was good but not great. Overall, it was a poor experience & we won't be returning.

   It was a restaurant week meal that failed to show the usual excellence of this restaurant. The salad was sparse and my boeuf bourguignon lacked the usual excellence I find at La Garre. The portion, although adequate, was sparse and presentation was minimal. My date's salmon was better, but still below the quality I expect from the usual experience here. In my opinion the restaurants that served a dish from their regular menu, even in smaller portions, rated higher during restaurant week than those who did a "special".
