"Valentine's dinner was disorganized at epic proportions. Understandably it was a busy night, but there clearly is no excuse for the service. We had an 8.30pm reservation. We reached 10 minutes early and there were 7 other couples crammed up at the entrance. They all had reservations around 8pm and weren't seated. We were asked to write our names at the front desk despite having reservations, and were seated after 9pm. We ordered ceviche since we figured it wouldn't take long to make, a Pisco sour and a picante margarita (called something else on their menu). The ceviche was good, the margarita overly spicy. For main course we ordered a steak and a seafood dish. Around 9.40pm I asked the server how long our food would take to arrive since all the tables around us had been waiting; he said maybe 10 minutes or so. At 10pm he stopped by us again and said the food would be delayed by a bit. I asked by how much longer, he said 5 or 10 minutes. I asked him to tell me 5 minutes or 10 minutes; to be precise. He said he couldn't tell. I asked him to cancel our order and give us the cheque. We received the cheque promptly, and were charged for the main course, a total of $140. I had to follow the server back into the kitchen area to ask why we were charged for the main course since we had an 8.30pm reservation, were not served until 10pm and had clearly not eaten the main course. The charge was reversed, the server very apologetic, but he didn't have a pen to sign the cheque. They scrambled for another minute to find a pen."

"I am appalled by the terrible service we have received in this place during our Mother's Day lunch experience. I think they're not even qualified for a single star. My husband took a reservation for the Mother's Day in this French restaurant because we were here a few years ago and since I loved French food, it came as a natural choice for him. We arrived immediately and were received by a pathetic elderly lady who literally bruised us when she saw our reservation. We ignored her behavior due to her age. Even as it was day of celebration, we didn't want to spoil it for us. After we sit, we were received by a lady server that was not very happy to see us. When we asked a few questions about the menu, she rolled her eyes. I thought it was pretty weird. During lunch there were no friendly words expressed by the entire team. I saw how the hostess (the older lady) visited all the tables around us who asked for their food, but never came to us once. The server never came to our table after the food was served to ask if we needed anything else or refill our drinks or water. They immediately gave us the check when our food came by, no mention of any desserts or anything. Basically, I felt that this Mother's Day celebration was a worthless waste of time. A beautiful day of celebration with my son and husband was curved by these RACIST patients. I found these people extremely unfriendly and felt almost like in the old separated USA. I liked her food, but my pride never makes me sit in this restaurant again. The owners and servers were rude and rude and I think that if they continue this behavior, they will not survive long in this constantly changing cultural landscape. Magnificent experience!!!"
