Atmosphere in the back room is like a shack with bad house plants. It's kindda outdoors with no heat lamps, so we were cold. Varnished wood tables and paper place matts seemed out of place for a "french" restaurant. Lemonade tasted like bad Crystal Light so I asked them to add iced tea to make it an Arnold Palmer. Drink brought back with two pea sized melted ice cubes. Our meal was delivered to the table about 2 minutes after we ordered? They must have nooked it in the microwave. My chicken was so bland and tasteless, I couldn't believe it. I've never had chicken that tasteless and bland. Maybe we came on a bad night, we had never been before, and will probably never go again.
LOOOOVED THE FOOD, THE SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD AND ATTENTIVE ( A LOT OF GOOD SUGGESTIONS FOR FOOD)...AND VERY CUTE TOO!!!
BUT THE BARTENDER SO UNFRIENDLY, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT MAN!!!
Food is delicious, service is good, people are friendly, good for small or large groups. Nice toned down atmosphere for a French restaurant.
