I have always been most impressed with this little restaurant. Upon arrival we received a most pleasant greeting, water was brought to our table promptly, drink orders were taken and the wait staff were most sociable and attentive.
Since this location is smaller and doesn't accommodate car loads of people i'm am drawn to it as opposed to loud, packed franchises. My food was delicious, portion sizes were appropriate (not too small, but also not gluttonous and wasteful). The food was perfectly tempered. I would suggest that the cook use less salt and i would also suggest a little less dressing on the salad. As for the atmosphere, as i mentioned before there wasn't car loads of customers so the noise level was very pleasant. The restaurant was very clean, bathrooms tidy and smelling good. On suggestion i would make to the staff would be to change the table clothes after each sitting. Our table cloth wasn't bad, but a fresh one always gives that extra touch.
Other than that, its a pretty impressive place to eat. I would suggest that the next time you find our self shopping on Locke to stop in for a bite. I would also suggest to the last reviewer, give the place one more try.
Possibly THE most disappointing restaurant experience EVER! Initial greeting and drinks were fine, but the service went downhill from there. Waited 45 minutes to order another drink, and almost an hour and a half for our food to arrive! Watching other patrons arrive, be served, eat, pay for their meal and leave while we had an empty table in front of us! Our table was avoided by waitstaff, no explanation was offered - we were invisible!
Finally, someone plucked up the courage to tell us there was "an accident" in the kitchen, and our meals would be a few minutes longer. No offer of some bread or an appetizer to quell the hunger pangs.
Finally, our food came and was disappointing. By this time we were upset, uncomfortable and unable to enjoy our evening.
If we had been told about the "accident" in a timely manner, and offered some kind of appetizer to hold us back until our meals arrived, I think we would have felt better.
A very frustrating and disappointing experience I would not want to repeat.
Nice decor, pleasantly greeted upon arrival. Food was enjoyable, though my steak was overdone, which is where the problem occurred. I am not one to get upset when food is not perfect, but I do expect to have my meal checked on to ensure that it was cooked as requested. Our server was nice and polite, but was too concerned with chatting with what appeared to be her regulars to pay any attention to us. I understand that regular guests often expect a little extra attention, but if new guests are expected to return, they need some too! After our meal was ordered, our server never once returned to the table. Another staffer brought our food, no one checked on our meal, nor offered another drink or dessert, which was desired. After giving up on getting another drink or dessert and flagging down our server, we waited fifteen minutes to get our check and then had to physically go inside from the patio after another fifteen minutes in order to pay. As a server myself, I am normally very patient about wait-times during busy periods, but there was absolutely no reason for us to have waited so long when there were very few other guests dining at the time. We could see our server just standing around chatting to her regulars. Please advise your servers that new clientele are just as important to building your business as regulars are!
Very disappointed after reading the previous reviews. The decor of the dining room hasn't changed since 1982. Nothing matched so it was an assault on the eyes. The tables did have white linen but also a sheet of paper over top. All we needed were some crayons. The "seafood" cakes were made from that imitation "crab meat" you buy at the supermarket and deep fried. We should have known better. The chicken Caesar was good; no complaints. The mushroom ravioli was covered in a bright, pinkish sauce and tasted very much like canned tomato soup. For $17 I would expect something more. The bottle of Pinot Grigio was nice but again pricey ($30) for a house wine. There was no wine list (a bistro without a wine list??) and no draught beers due to a problem with the gas. The service was fine.
