Restaurant Jeanne D'Arc

Cute place with character, food can improve.
Once you know the entry is inside the hotel, you'll find the place easily.
The hotel door was locked at 8pm on a weekday, and someone from the hotel staff answered the bell and directed us to the elevator. Service was impressive, the restaurant was cozy and well dimmed, and decorations well chosen.
We were seated promptly (had a reservation) and were a bit rushed to make our food selection.
Our server told us the kitchen will be closing soon but they admitted a few other tables after making that point to us. Soup and salad were really good, wine appeasing and bread warm and delicious.
The main courses were very average, rabbit was dry (even considering that it is on the dryer side), steak semi ok and salmon average.
The wine sauce they used in some of the dishes was very good. We may visit again just for the ambience and give the food one more chance.

Our group of five retired guys had dinner at restaurant Jeanne d’Arc last night. The service was good, the atmosphere for a Tuesday night was lukewarm, meaning that being in the basement of the hotel above I personally found the place a little cold. We brought our own bottle of wine, corkage fee was $25, our waiter brought us bread and butter and set up wine glasses. The food, classic French dishes with a flair, descent and copious . I started with prawn & scallops in a tomatoes & wine sauce well prepared (sans the coquille) they should call it something else than Coquille St Jacques. I followed with Filet mignon, served with scallop potatoes & baby carrots & Haricots vert, the filet was covered in a brown wine sauce with mushrooms, all delicious. Finally for the pièce de resistance I opted for the Grand Marnier soufflé, classic signature dessert from chef Moutal, the original chef. All in all an enjoyable meal with friend, expect the cost to be around 100$ to 120$ per persons, without wine or tips, which for a special occasion is well worth it.
Bon appétit!

I was so happy to see this lovely, historic restaurant reopen, but they have some significant growing pains to overcome.
The service was very off.
My friend and I felt very rushed throughout our meal.
Our starters came out at different times.
However the house salad and soup were very good.
When we finished our half bottle of wine, no one-- not even once-- asked if we wanted to order another bottle or even another glass of wine.
I had the roasted chicken entree and it was very disappointing.
One of the "pieces" on my plate was the neck which was inedible.
That left me the tiniest leg I've ever seen and maybe half of a tiny breast.
The server never told us at the beginning of the meal that we had to order the dessert souffle then so it would be ready by the end of the meal so we ended up ordering the creme brulee which was very good.
What should have been a leisurely 3-course meal ended up with us leaving in just under an hour-- that's how rushed and pushy the service was.
I may give this place one more try because of my prior good memories, but if it doesn't improve, there are plenty of other great places in the city for French food.
