Stopped for appetizers for an afternoon snack with 2 friends. I had the garden salad which was large and decent. Nothing special. My friends tried the escargot and lobster pasta. They recommend the restaurant and enjoyed their food. I wish I were hungrier because the kebobs looked great! I saw one presentation with 4 kebobs hanging down over a large plate of french fries. Service was friendly and adequate. For sure the kebobs next time.

BYFARTHEWORSTRESTAURANTEXPERIENCEEVER!!! We had a party of five and sat down for dinner. The waiter came and sat us down and got our drink order. Then he disappeared for the rest of the meal. At one point, we saw him and asked him for more bread and if we could order more drinks because they were taking their time on the food. He said that we still had some bread left, and he was too busy to get us drinks. This pissed off everyone in the party. So, we waited to get our food and one of the orders was screwed up. We got the order corrected and got our c heck. We didn’t want them to spit in our food so we took the cool calm approach. When we were finished I asked to see his manager because he was a piss poor waiter. I saw their was an 18% gratutity included(lol, that would be taken off). He didn’t like this too much and I told him that he was a piece of(expletive). Also, the manager discounted the check $ 15(he wanted to get me out of there) because I was yelling at the waiter back and forth and making a scene with the waiter(I didn’t care). NEVEREVERGOTOTHISRESTAURANT!!!

Food was very good, and affordable. Lunch special was for 15.99 and included a glass of wine, soup appetizer and my meal. Not too shabby for being at Lincoln Rd.

Well, I guess I would just be saying what everyone else has, but it is 2 days later and I am still angry at this place. You never see your waitstaff, they leave you hanging and waiting forever they are more concerned with being outside and looking at the people walking by and trying to round up more customers to come in than paying attention to the ones that are there or they were just talking amongst themselves looking at this hanging shrimps object that seemed to be dangling from a cross. Paid 18% gratuity for no service. The music and the atmosphere would be the most alluring thing about this place, but the songs kept skipping, long pause, then all of a sudden the song would be back on, I felt it really cheapened the place. For 2 breakfasts I paid 40.00 it was a weird combination of food, the french omelet came with salad and french fries and the poppy omelet was the same way and it wasn’t that good. I ordered water thinking I was just going to get water that would be free and I wasn’t understanding when she said(language barrier) flat or bubbling, so I ordered the flat thinking I was just going to get a glass of water since I knew if it was bubbly it would be sparkling water that I would have to pay for, she comes back with a bottle of Evian, and I wasn’t sure if that was on the house or not, well I learned quickly when I saw the Evian was 6 bucks on the bill! I just wanted a glass of filtered ice water, not one I had to pay for. THEN! when you want to go to the bathroom, you have to physically leave the restaurant, go through the back out the doors, go outside and try to figure out which door to open, nothing opened, had to go back in, hunt waitstaff down to ask where bathroom is, do my route again and when I walked into the bathrooms the tiles were so slippery, even though they were not wet that I almost fell down. I swear I think they put suntan lotion on the tiles back there, they were very greasy. Very strange layout, I’ve never experienced anything like this before. If you want attentiveness, do not go here. You try to call them to register your complaint with them, they don’t answer the phone and it goes into a voicemail box that is full so you can’t leave a message. I guess they choose to ignore the phone customers as well.

Great atmosphere, offers outdoor seating directly on Lincoln Rd. – Perfect for people watching. The food is OK. I had the filet mignon skewer, it came with salad & french fries. The filet mignon was not that tasteful, it actually tasted more like a palomillo steak. The presentation was nice. The wait staff was ok, not very attentive, but not horrible. The menu is a bit overpriced for the portion & quality.

One of several disappointments on Lincoln Road. I can’t even begin to tell you how many places pull the same crap. When Alice says TOURISTTRAP, I completely agree. They don’t care about the service because they figure you’re from out of town and you’ll never come back. Well guess what, I’m not a tourist, and I won’t be back either.

TOURISTTRAP, complete with disappearing waiter! Came here with a group of 15 for their 2 for 1 happy hour. Our waiter completely disappeared after bringing us 2 rounds of drinks. Maybe he had a bad case of the runs. Or maybe he had to finish reading the rest of the Twilight series. Whatever his reason, his long absence left us parched and sober. Someone from the group spotted him eating dinner while we waited. I mean c’mon. we’re a group of thirsty young professionals. it’s really not hard to run up a high tab. i literally had to hunt him down to ask for the bill. The real gem of the evening was when he eagerly and attentively brought the check. Great. 17% automatic gratuity. me: «we really wish the service was better. would have ordered more drinks» him: «next time.» me: «there might not be a next time.» he grabs the check and looks me straight in the eye: «TOOBAD» Excuse me, who ordered the lackluster service with an extra side of douchebaggery? Looks like we’ll stick to Zekes for happy hour. Too bad man, too bad.

known for their crepes, they bill themselves as a bar/lounge/restaurant. we walked by on a saturday evening and amongst all of the zillions of restaurants on lincoln road, we chose this place b/c it looked more chill and less busy. food was presented well and was authentically french(and yummy!). portions could’ve been more generous(i left a little hungry) but not that different from surrounding spots. service was ok(automatic 15% gratuity as usual) but the atmosphere was definitely a plus. great people watching spot and their lounge music and chill pace made us feel right at home. seems like a good place to have brunch — a cute spot with oh-so-french food and service but i don’t know if it’s enough for me to crave it nor rush back again.
