Why should they care? Continue to underperform, and people keep paying – Difficult to say it's "below" average, because the service and operations of most places in Boston or large cities are quite disappointing -- therefore, I guess they fit right in. In emulating a Parisian brasserie, they are successful: the service is atrocious! I've been there three times (I know, I don't learn) and always the lamb or beef was well-done rather than rare (as ordered). The coup de grace? Last night's experience, when the waiter said, "Sor... read more
Great French Dinner – My sister and I dined here last Sunday night and we had such a nice time. The service was wonderful, the food was great and the atmosphere was just perfect for a nice, quiet dinner with my sister. We had both recently returned from Paris and were craving a good French meal. She had the mussels and I had the steak. Both were really well prepared and delicious. We also shared the chocolate mousse for dessert. What a great presentation! We ordered Cote du Rhone by the glass which I highly recommend, but th... read more
Almost... – The room was fantastic, very clean, very nice and modern (this was the deluxe room, $20 more than the normal one I think). The only non-working thing was the bathroom fan, very minor. However, we were EXTREMELY disappointed the pool was out of service. I called ahead of time a few days in advance and the person I booked the room with told me it would be available that weekend. The pool mechanic told me on Saturday that the hotel knew things weren't ready the week before. When I asked for some vouchers or somethin... read more
Superb Example of French Service and Great Value – Read about this restaurant offering French kiss Friday promotion and gave it a try. Miniature pizza arrived and it was delish. Better - it was free. I marvel at critics of Free food like another review i read here. Also received a baguette of bread and carrots (FREE). Service was very good and while the free food was good the martini was awesome. I asked the bartender to recommend one and he gave me a Manoh? It was some fruity concotion that was so good I had another. Ordere... read more
Best Value in Town! – Have always heard good things about the place, but finally got the opportunity to go after reading about French Kiss Fridays. How can you resist?!?! As always got to the place a little early to have a cocktail at the bar - terrific espresso martini and they give you these great little "bar pies" to wake up your taste buds! Looking through the menu was like reading a cookbook there are so many choices and the prices are not to be matched at any restaurant in the city on this level! Terrific Value for you... read more
Don't go for the free pizza – I used the "know before go" tip I read here on citysearch. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. The personal-size free flatbread pizza at the bar was smaller than the cocktail napkin. And they only gave us 1 to share! I wasn't expecting much when it is free afterall, but I honestly thought the waiter was joking when he brought it over. It tasted great, but the "slice" I ate was no bigger than a stamp.
Best French Dining in Boston – My wife and I had a terrific meal at brasserie joe. The food is outstanding and I highly recommend the chicken coq au vin. Having traveled to France on many occassions, we found this to be a true representation of a brasserie not a bistro. The room was bustling and full of energy (exactly what we were looking for.) We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air. Service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentitve and explained the menu in a professional but not over bearing way. We expected a bit o... read more
Good food; horrible service – The food was good. BJ manages the basics of French cuisine well. However, the service was *** horrendous***. The waiter managed to serve 2 wrong dishes for the 3 main courses ordered. Moreover, he never intimated an apology. Beverages were never refilled unless specifically requested, and only after considerable effort and time was spent in trying to get the the server's attention.
Terrible Service – I went there for Brunch expecting to find great food and service ? given the prices that?s the least you should expect. What I got was OK food and TERRIBLE service. When we were seated at our table the restaurant was out of menu?s ? which is interesting because the restaurant was not even close to being full and other tables were eating. We waited for about 10 minutes before anyone came over to us and another 5 before we got menus. They only had 3 menus for our party of 5. Now on to the server. She approac... read more
