Chapeau

Came here in a bustling Friday night in search of French cuisine.
The ambiance and service were great but the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the escargot which was so delicious and garlicky.
Perfect for crusty bread to soak up the flavors. For my entree I ordered the risotto which was a huge mistake.
The dish was so bland and lacked sufficient seasoning.
I added salt and even that didn’t do the trick.
I struggled to finish the dish and ultimately ended the meal with no third course. For $38 dollars the risotto needs work because it’s just bad and way too expensive. Don’t know if I’d return given the meal I had.
Way too expensive for the lackluster meal.

The bread was fresh and with a good crunch.
Escargot was hot with lots of garlic and basil - great for bread dipping.
The salmon trio looked cute but nothing special.
The pork tenderloin was moist and tender.
The charred cauliflower was tasty but the risotto was soft but the flavor was just ok.
The French toast with caramel ice cream parred well and the chocolate lava cake with vanilla oozed out.
Excellent service.
The cook greeted us and the workers filled out hot water cups and wine.
$35 for wine corkage fee.

It is our first time here.
We were looking for some place near us to have dinner together for our anniversary.
I have lots to say about this place! Appetizer They are both great! We ordered Escargot and Salmon Trio for our appetizer and they both are so good! For me, personally, the escargot is a little too salty but when it paired with the bread, it was really good! And the bus boy recommended us to pair them and they taste so good together! Thank to him :)) For Salmon Trio, my husband and I agreed on that it tastes okay but not so incredibly good. Entree Halibut was soooooo good! It is the only one dish I would come back for.
Fillet Mignon is somewhat salty but I don’t eat beef, so I can’t really comment on this but my husband is a meat eater and he said it wasn’t a wow for him but it was fine :) Dessert Crème brûlée is good but maybe slightly too sweet for me but I think most people would like this one :) French toast is so good!!! The toast was soft inside and crispy on the outside and it was topped with salted caramel ice cream which is so rich in cream and so tasty! Here is what I was expecting; The service Our server last night, 11/04, was not really good and we were quite disappointed.
He asked the tables around us how everything was doing but he skipped our table every time, every single time.
He kinda looked down on us a little too.
So, it is very unpleasant and sad to see such good restaurant in our neighborhood being not as friendly as it should be like this.
The hostess is great! The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were impressed by him.
He was so friendly and warm welcoming us.
I forgot to take his name but he was awesome! The bus boy was actually our 5 stars last night, his name is Carlos, he is great and super awesome!!!! He was the one who recommended us to try the bread with the escargot sauce while our server didn’t really care about us.
I used to work in food and beverage industry for many years and still working in customer service industry, I think Carlos should actually be our server not the other.
And we decided to give good tips where we really want our tips to be for Carlos and the hostess who gave us such a great service.
I just don’t think our server deserved our tips at all. So, two stars off from the service point for what I expected from our server and really came out disappointed.
Those good stars were for service indeed that we received from Carlos and the hostess.
Thank to both for making our night last night so great 🤗🙏🏻
