We had excellent salade nicoise and French onion soup in a crock--reminiscent of brasseries in France and Belgium. Service rather inattentive and hoity-toity, but less insolent than some waiters in France. more

they served me deli ham for a panini that was supposed to have "jambon de bayonne" and the chef said the deli ham was in fact jambon de bayonne, what a joke. feel bad for the rest of the clients who actually eat it and get ripped off. more
