"I really don't like leaving poor reviews, however I was disappointed! We showed up about five minutes early. Upon arriving, had to wait in line just to speak to the greeter. When we got to the front of the line, the greeter found the reservation, and informed us that we'd have to wait 10-15 minutes. We inquired if it'd be a true 10-15 or would it be longer? She assured us that it'd be 10-15, confirmed my phone number and said she'd text me when ready. took almost 45 minutes before I received the text! We were seated in a too small table for 4 people, and in the middle of a high traffic area. The table had only three chairs, the seater said that she'd be right back with another chair and disappeared! Leaving us to find our own chair. The food was good, nothing spectacular, but good, (except the prawns, they were just awesome! , the rest was good, but for the prices... meh... I wouldn't complain about the food or value if it weren't for the lousy service waiting for and then recieving an unprepared table..."

"I highly recommend Mon Ami Gabi Bread was fantastic hard crust, warm soft center amazing butter (don't eat too much guilty here). French Onion soup perfect not salty at all, actually slightly sweet, possibly best ever. Had Filet with the W/Bordelaise cooked perfect med/rare, served with french fries that were out of this world, especially mixed in the bordelaise, Wife had the beef wellington which was outstanding also finished with creme brulee and for a special b day treat my wife received a nice scoop of ice cream with hot fudge that was amazing Service was perfect not too much yet every need was met. I would call this evening as close to perfection as you can expect Thank you Mon Ami Gabi for a wonderful evening."

"We had a fantastic birthday dinner at Frenchy and already cannot wait to go back! We had dined at Tundra previously and enjoyed that experience too but Frenchy really impressed us from both a food and service point of view! We had the baked Brie, brioche and beef tartar and the beef tartar was everyone’s favourite, even among my teenage girls. The mains we ordered were fabulous, incredible recommendations which were perfectly executed: branzino, bouillabaisse and the roast chicken — I can’t even pick a favorite bc they were all amazing! The chef and service team are top notch, I highly recommend checking this place out for classic French favourites executed without any flaws!"

"We've been here before, so we expected great food and service. You did not disappoint! Our server, Nicky (apologies if the spelling is wrong), was attentive enough. We weren't forgotten or smothered, which is a hard balance to achieve. My husband had the salmon and said it was delicious. I tried the chicken and dumplings. The dumplings were rich and delicious with lovely chunks of chicken. The carmelized onions were a great touch. Oh, and that salted caramel budino was yummy! We were full and appreciated a dessert that was not the size a child's head. ð The front of house staff checked in too, which was thoughtful."

"I've been to Mon Ami Gabi in Reston many times, mainly for business meetings. I always order the Steak Fritte Classique. Unfortunately, this time the food was subpar. The steak tasted like it had been cooked in old butter or a dirty grill. There was a noticeable degradation in the quality of the food since the last time I was there. Our waitress was nice and attentive, but made a mistake splitting the check 3-ways. When the manager tried to fix it, he also made a mistake and brought the wrong check. Without going into too many details, the interactions with the manager were digusting. He was a slime and very condescending. He blamed the poor waitress, which showed horrible leadership on his side. As a manager, you never blame a team member and always have your team's back! We pointed this out to him. We also pointed out to him that not once did he apologize. Needless to say he tainted our experience."

"We went for the BBQ porch side picnic. Planned ahead and easily bought tickets online and pre-tipped. Very easy and recommended. The atmosphere was one of a family gathering. Children were laughing and playing in the yard and on the swing set. We were greeted immediately upon entering the establishment. From that moment on, the service continued to be great. The decor was that of a tasteful ranch with red checkered napkins. The buffet line was long, but moved quickly. I was pleasantly surprised at the options of potato salad, slaw, salad, baked beans, green beans, pulled pork and brisket! There was another serving dish which was empty and not refilled so not sure what it was. There was an abundance of good and they were continuously refilling the chaffing dishes. Everyone in our group was impressed with the quality and taste of the food. My husband thought the slaw was delicious and I favored the brisket. For dessert, there were brownies and cookies. Lemonade and ice tea were freely available and a bar was open for al a cart libations.A singer was on the porch strumming her guitar and singing gracefully. There were no children with our group, but it was obviously kid friendly.I would definitely go again!"

"It is unfortunate to see the decline in quality and service at this longtime Bethesda establishment. The last few meals have been disappointing, and it appears they have reached their lowest point. It is a positive development that they are closing this week for remodeling, although it seems like a mistake as the ambiance was the only redeeming quality of the restaurant. Hopefully, the renovation will allow them to start fresh with improved kitchen operations, service, and management. If not, it may be worth taking a short trip on the metro into DC for better food and a superior dining experience at a similar price."

"I have wanted to eat at Brussels Bistro since I noticed the restaurant. It was my birthday and they had a Tuesday All You Can Eat Mussels and happy hour starting at 4pm. It was immediately delightful with an open space with music and window seating. Abbi, my server, was accommocating and friendly. I soon met one of the managers and we chatted about our past experiences in both of us having been born in Belgium. Though I was alone, I felt I was part of the family. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere. I would definitely plan to return when visiting San Clemente again. Bon appetit!"

"We made reservations to experience the veuve clicquot event and it was not the experience I had before at other restaurants. We ordered a bottle and couldn’t get the clicquot bucket or cups that everyone had who ordered a bottle. The event was very unorganized and couldn’t serve everyone properly which was a bummer. The food was ok nothing to rave about. The only thing we did enjoy was the entertainment, he was so good."

"I made reservations and was seated promptly. I ordered the chicken and waffles as an appetizer and the Thai chicken skewers. The waffles were tasty, but I was surprised to find that the chicken was more like small bites than strips. Unfortunately, the chicken had no flavor at all. Perhaps some bacon maple syrup could have helped, but overall it was not very appetizing. My mom ordered the ribs and found them to be stringy, although she had no complaints about the taste. She is quite picky, so I only trust her opinion when she really enjoys something. I decided on the lamb chops, and I was very pleased with them. However, the mashed potatoes seemed a bit off, as I prefer them completely smooth without any lumps. The green beans lacked flavor and seasoning, so I would suggest taking them home and seasoning them to your liking. My daughter ordered the scallops but found them to be overcooked. She should have sent them back, but she ended up swapping with her husband, who had ordered a seafood dish. Overall, I may consider returning, but I am not completely sure. Our waitress was excellent and checked on us regularly. The menu states that a 15% gratuity will be added to bills over $150, but we were charged 20%, so they might want to update their menus."

"We started our meal with the mussel runners, which were fantastic—definitely one of my favorites. Then came the stone crabs, but they turned out to be quite expensive; three "jumbo" claws cost $140! Unfortunately, I found the stone crabs to be very disappointing. While they looked fresh and clean, they didn't taste or feel like I'd expected. They lacked the sweet flavor I remember enjoying at Joe's, and most of them were quite tough. With each new crab I tried, I hoped the previous one was just a fluke, but that wasn’t the case. Given the high price we paid, it was a major letdown. Would I return to Blue Fin? Yes, I would consider trying another fish dish since they have a nice, upscale atmosphere, and I’d like to give them another chance. However, I won’t be ordering stone crabs again!"

"We have been dining here regularly—sometimes several times a week—for over 13 years, and the people at Crossroads feel like an extended family. The staff is wonderful, and the food is outstanding! We know most of the servers and owners by name, and they always take exceptional care of us. The steaks are excellent and cooked perfectly to our liking. The Delmonico is a personal favorite and often a go-to choice for me. I also love their special house salad with pears, blue cheese, and a sweet vinaigrette dressing. They offer a wide range of seafood options, including crab cakes, shrimp, and a fantastic teriyaki-glazed salmon. The appetizers and sides like sweet potatoes, buffalo wings, roasted artichoke hearts, calamari, and roasted mac and cheese are all excellent. The daily specials are always a delightful surprise. There are too many great dishes to choose from! Highly recommended; we've never been disappointed!"

"My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary tonight at the good ole' Charco Broiler. It was where we had our first date 26 years ago (in fact, my parents had their first date there too). The CB is a huge part of Fort Collins. The food is fantastic, the waitresses are sweet and knowledgeable and the bartenders know how to pour a glass of wine. We eat there often and would recommend this great restaurant to anyone. Cheers to the best restaurant in Fort Collins."

"I've dined at The Statler several times, and the food has consistently impressed me. However, the service has always left something to be desired during each visit. It's not terrible, but given the prices, it should be better. On this occasion, the service was particularly slow, even though the restaurant was mostly empty on a Sunday evening. If it had been a busy Saturday night before a show, the pace would've been understandable. We experienced long waits not only for our hors d'oeuvres and dessert orders but also for water refills. We tried to expedite things by ordering our entrées with the hors d'oeuvres to avoid another lengthy wait. Despite these issues, the overall experience was quite enjoyable."

"Sage seems to be slipping in quality. The hostess made us wait five minutes before seating us, despite there being about eight booths available when we walked in after having made a reservation. The hostess and waitstaff felt a bit under-practiced and unprofessional. The manager seems nice enough: he visits each table and asks if everything was to our liking, but when put on the spot like that, it 's hard to really get into everything that 's being done wrong without coming across as a jerk. Here 's what I noticed: 1. The food is meh. It 's by no means bad, but it 's not great, either. I 'd say it 's middle of the road, but the visuals of the restaurant don 't match the food quality you get. I was expecting higher quality steak than what I got, to be more direct. I also don 't like the way they serve the food. Salads in giant white bowls? Steaks heaped on top of a pile of fries, making the fries soggy? A lot can be improved with presentation and details in this area. Details, details, details. 2. The waitstaff needs to be trained in professionalism. They aren 't terrible, but they aren 't polished, either. The outfits are bland, and the service is nominal. Sometimes the staff doesn 't seem entirely coordinated right, either. Two staff members ended up clashing momentarily over who was going to service the table after dinner, and that was a bit awkward. Outfits need to be enforced. No jeans! Dress slacks, please, and a more polished manner of communicating with each table would be preferred. 3. Bang for your buck is lacking here. The meal, after all was said and done between two people ordering two meals and a few drinks (no desert), was $101.00. With tip, that comes to $121.00. We don 't think our dining experience was worth that. Sage is trying to be high-end, but it fails in managing to do this in the final analysis, unfortinately. P.s. Clean out that decorative koi pond in the front. The fish are delightful, but the muddy water isn 't attractive. Again—details!"

"We requested inside dining because it was a special occasion but were told that there's no space inside. Outside at 6:30 the areas offered to us were so sunny that we again requested inside seating and offered to wait. We were offered bar seating. With a toddler the bar table we were seated at was too small. But we still tried to be patient but no one attended to us. We were about to leave for the poor service and spoke with a manager who hadn't been available earlier. Then we got seated inside. We appreciate the help but wonder why our request was so discourteously turned down before. I will think twice before visiting them again."

"We had high hopes for a Father’s Day brunch for my wife’s godfather. However, a number of things happened that made the experience difficult. For starters, our table was next to a large table that featured at least four small children. They were pretty much dead center in the main room. We were surprised because we thought it was a slightly more upscale place. The real fun started when one of the children peed at the table then was carried by an adult in the party to the restroom, peeing all the way down the hallway. Then the food came for our table. The French Toast was hard and had to be cut with a knife. The Eggs Benedict looked very small. The bacon and the French fries were very tasty though. The overall value wasn’t there for us. Maybe we’ll try dinner there some day."

"Our overall experience at the restaurant was great and we would definitely consider coming back. However, I am deducting one star because the hangar steak we ordered was undercooked with a purplish color in the middle, the Caesar salad dressing was watered down due to wet lettuce, and the butternut squash ravioli was overly drenched in cream sauce without it being mentioned in the description. Additionally, the braised lamb dish could use a side of mashed potatoes or something to balance out the richness, as one piece of toast was not sufficient. Despite these issues, the restaurant promptly addressed any complaints we had and the French dip sandwich was exceptional, possibly one of the best I have had recently. The Gilman salad was also delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was spot on. The restaurant has a trendy atmosphere and I would recommend trying it out if you are in the area."
