Great BYOB in Old City – Went for dinner on Sat night and it was fabulous as usual. We were seated on time and the tables weren't too close. The ever changing menu selections as well as the chef's choice of seasonings guarantee variety and an interesting menu. Just make sure to save room for desert! The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Definitely one of the top restaurants in Old City.
Absolutely wonderful! – This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The food is always of exceptional quality, the service is efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere is elegant but comfortable. Portions are huge, and the prices are unbelievable -- they could charge twice as much and it would still be an excellent value. The pate and the steak frites are especially good, but I have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. My only hesitation in recommending it so highly is that I don't want it to get so popul... read more
is 75% good enough to warrant $50 per diner? – Somewhat disappointing experience for the price. Service was attentive, decor nice and clean even if tables are tiny. Food delivery was achingly slow- perhaps because it was a weekend evening. The food selection was interesting, with a nice range from simple to complex, and a bit busy dishes. We had 4 of the apps- all were well made and enjoyed. 3 of the 4 entrees were well received, although you should note that the "doneness" level was low- ie the medium steak frites was seare... read more
Too many great options in the area to go here. – Living in Old City we frequent many of the restaurants in the area. There were four of us at dinner and we were far from impressed with the meal. While the appetizers and desserts were excellent, only two of the entrees were palatable. In particular a stewed pork dish was inedible (and I eat ANYTHING) and the vegetable dish was loaded with Rosemary to the point that it tasted like you were eating the herb itself. A butter lettuce salad started the night off well, and following... read more
Very pleasant after-theater experience – We had a delightful dinner at Bistro 7 after the theater on a weeknight. The service was impeccable- friendly and attentive but not intrusive-- and the food was excellent. I found the prices completely reasonable, I had a delicious fingerling potato omelet with creme fraiche and caviar and a beet terrine, my companion a duck breast with a mound of complex and flavorful lentils and perfectly cooked haricots verts. The food is enlivened with nice touches-- three kinds of beets in the te... read more
Best dirty towels on floor – Overlooking the one and only bathroom, I was seated to observe the rest room behavior of the other patrons. Perhaps a dissertation will follow. Also, I was seated to observe the dirty towels under the kitchen preparation table. Yes, the only bathroom and kitchen are right next to one another. When I said something to the manager, he only told me they were making plenty of money and did not much care if I came back or not.
Disappointing... – As someone who eats out frequently, I usually don't take the time to write reviews. In fact, I have never taken the time to write one. However, I felt a compelling need to spread the word about this extreme disappointment of an establishment. The prices at this place are out of sync with the quality of food. The atmosphere is cheesy for the price you pay. Cheap furnishings. Mix and match silverware which had to be changed due to encrusted food on my wife's fork and my knife. Give me a break! If you are goi... read more
A BYOB that's not inexpensive – Absolutely amazing entrees. I thought the salad, tho generous, was a little bland. The best bread ever. But you only get one piece at a time and sort of have to look longingly at the waitress to get another. (Well, actually, she walked around and refilled dishes; but it felt like i was begging. ) The place is cozy-- i.e., tiny-- but it's not noisy, at least not when it's only 1/2 full. And I appreciate the cloth tablecloth and napkins; made it feel sophisticated. But they could use SOMETHING o... read more
Cozy Gem – I had a salad for my first course, with toasted nuts, and fugi apples. It was very nice the nuts were like little crunchy christmas trees and the apples gave it a cruncy sweet taste, it all came together very nicely. For my main course I had the Salmon with lobster mashed potatoes and fresh spinach. The mashed Potatoes had huge peices of lobster which made them very buttery and sweet! The best thing however was the coconut jasmin rice pudding!!!! I can easily say that this was the best rice pudding I have ever had... read more
