Complacent, indifferent and overpriced 6/7/2008

I don't know how this place could possibly have a wait on a Friday except to venture that being on the corner of Miracle Mile and LeJeune means having a cash cow. The service was indifferent from the get go and it took about 30 minutes for the server to take our order. The wine list is weak and they are one of those restaurants that let people know they didn't pay enough for ""good"" wine by giving them cheaper glasses. Shouldn't everything on their wine list be worthy of a proper glass? The presentation of the food was unappetizing. it looks like what people used to serve at weddings fifteen years ago - protein and a cauliflower puree from a little jell-o mold. Toast points for pate' were an inch thick and there was only one for each person on the table. Could we order more? I suppose - if someone stopped by the table to see how everything was. The salads at our table had different lettuce for each of us and were drowned by 10x more dressing than necessary. My meat was undercooked (I ordered MR and it was red all the way - it looked like it had been par-cooked to less than rare and then sliced). I sent it back and half came out MR and half was still less than rare. My plate was 3/4 full when it was taken away, without comment or interest, by the waiter. When you run a French place, you're saying that you're passionate about food and (maybe?) service. These people couldn't care less. For $28/entree, the service should be twice as good, there should be thought in the presentation, the food should be cooked to temperature and treating people with care shouldn't be optional. There are thirty other restaurants within a block - I'll never go here again. Pros: Poor service. Weak cooking. Poor presentation. Cons: Location. Ambience. more
