   Went Thanksgiving evening at 6:30 and we’re told they were only offering the price fixed holiday menu despite the website and open table stating the regular menu would be offered. We had a 6:30 seating and already they were out of food items, service was terrible did not put in drink orders for 30 min and no bread basket until we asked. Food was rushed and was not typical of their offerings in the past. Very disappointing experience.

   We were so happy to have had the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving dinner at LB. Thank you for being open and available to book. The dining room was full and I think there was one seating and the service was strong- just the right amount of attention and care. The food was visually stunning and our table had 3 of the 4 entree options. The only thing I would suggest is that there should be an opton in each course that was simpler, still keeping to theme, they could have offered a mixed green salad, with vinegrette, and could have put figs or something on it. The deserts were all rich> I ordered what I would hae thought would be the lightest- apple clafoutis; it didn't need the caramel- and the added caramel is not typical for that dish. Possibly they could have offered it on the side? As is, it was impossible to eat as it was simply too much sugar, and the French are always careul w/sugar and focus on the fats and balance....It was just too sacharin. So a lighter option in the first starter course and the desert course just be sure that something is offered that caps and finishes the meal. And, there was a cheese plate offred yet I wanted something sweet, just not that sweet. This is all very specific and to be clear- it was a lovely dining expereience. One last thing- is there any way to enforce the dresscode? We had a sloppy baseball cap wearing table sitting next to us. I just don't understand people and why? It does impact your experience- when a typical table for 4 was over $600...its just unacceptable.

   This is typically a fav spot. Dined here for Thanksgiving. Prefix menu for $105. Would have liked a couple additional selections, Turkey was dry, and felt like they skimped on the sides. Overall felt like the experience didn’t match the price tag this year.

   Started at the bar and had a wonderful experience. Bartender was attentive and super helpful. Made a special passionfruit martini for me based on what I was in the mood for. Then we moved to the dining room. Our reservation was for 7 pm. We were seated at 7:45. We weren’t in a rush so it wasn’t a big deal. Our waiter changed twice. Dining room service wasn’t great. But maybe they were short staffed. Again no biggie. But the issue was my short rib. Was a tough brick. And cold. Inedible. I can’t believe the chef would send it out. I sent it back and ordered the mussels instead. My husband ate his entire meal before mine came out. Then when the mussels arrived they were full of grit/sand. I didn’t eat them or even bother sending them back. The waiter never asked how our food was nor apologized for the short rib. It was disappointing. We have eaten here a few times and had better food and service. But after last night id think twice about going back.

    Update menu online. I chose you for lunch based on the menu on Open Table. It was the “summer” menu and I dined there in November. Very disappointing.
