   We had a fantastic experience. Multiple staff said happy anniversary to us. We got free champagne as soon as we sat down. The servers and waiter were very attentive. The atmosphere was very festive during Christmas. I would definitely recommend this place.

   Writing this with the caveat that we did eat here on Christmas Eve so we expected things to be busy. They were wonderful with accommodating our daughter’s severe food allergy. The food was good and our server was efficient and experienced. The only complaint was that the table they placed us at was at the back near a server’s station and next to the back elevator area and this was in spite of having made a reservation well in advance. This made it hard to enjoy the ambiance or conversation.

   I’ve been to this restaurant twice now, and the food is absolutely terrible. It’s clear they prioritize the ambiance over the quality of the food. During my last visit yesterday , they served me a raw steak. When I asked them to cook it more, they did, but it ended up tasting unbearable. I even felt sick afterward. I cannot recommend eating here. If you do visit, stick to the bar and just enjoy the decor. Honestly, if I could, I’d give this place less than 0 star.

   They need to keep up with their wine inventory if they gonna offer discounts. They didn’t have wines we tried to order two times.

   Ambiance and décor for the holidays was amazing however, table settings are super small/tight if you are with a party of 2! Service was brutal, did not order entrée until over an hour of being sat (party of 2) We asked for a sommelier with questions for French wines, after about an hour, they never came to our table and I let the server know dont worry about it and we just ordered the bottle of the first glass of wine we had upon seating. Would have expected some urgency with an apology and getting a sommelier to the table immediately after being notified they never came. Also realized after, I do not believe the bottle of wine was discounted with the 50% promotion they have for Sun-Thurs. Starter was brought to the table and they said, scallops? which we did not order so we said not ours! It was actually the escargot, which we did order so they had to send a new order because it was dropped at another table. We were eating dessert and similar situation happens where they had a salad and asked if it was for our table.... no, we are done eating and had dessert on the table. The food was average at best. We had the steak frites, which did not have much flavor and the burger which only half of it was eaten. Great for the ambiance and holiday setting, other than that, would not come back.

   Went for friends Christmas dinner and it was great! Steak frites cooked perfectly, cheese board was excellent, crème brûlée dessert was tasty.

   This food is tragic and the prices are outrageous. I would gladly pay these food prices if the food has been good, but Trader Joe’s microwaveable dinners have more flavor. The drinks are okay. The service was wonderful and it is a beautiful building. I feel like the ownership knows this and therefore the food is lacking.

   We had a table next to a serving station. A lot of foot traffic around the area. The serving staff would unintentionally brush / bump us while we were seated. Should really think about seating areas near the serving stations.

    Lovely holiday experience, decorations, holiday music were wonderful. Classic French cuisine, well done. As in classic French style, the wait staff was not overly friendly. 🤷🏼‍♀️
