Went to Cafe de Paris last night. We really liked the food (the smoked salmon appetizer was fantastic, by the way!). We've spent quite a bit of time in France and were very impressed that the food was very typically French, not "Americanized" French. I felt like I was in a French person's home for dinner - quite authentic. The service, however, was just ok. The waitress was not just slow (I can appreciate that as a wonderful French characteristic), the problem was more in her attitude. She was not friendly at all. When new patrons came in to the restaurant, she almost had the air of being bothered by them, rather than appreciative of them coming. I'm sure the Chef/Owner in the kitchen would not have liked what he saw when a crowd of 6 came in and she made setting a table for them seem like a lot of trouble. Normally, I would understand that but there was a large open table next to us already set. Why she didn't seat them there we have no idea. I will certainly return, but hope there is another person serving that day. The place would have seemed a lot "warmer" had the waitress not been so icy.
Pros: Food
Cons: Service
