"I had set my expectations way too high with this restaurant..it seems. I picked Café L'Europe to celebrate our anniversary. I had been there only once before, probably or years ago and I remember having a memorable dinner. I had read recent reviews and I was confident that this was an excellent choice. However, I felt disappointed when I left this place. I had read that there was live music (Piano) and I had asked for my table to be in that room when I made the reservation. Unfortunately there was no one playing the piano on that Saturday night. We asked for the Chateaubriand for two. The beef itself was one of the best I have tried, the serving tableside is really cool, as gourmet and fancy as you can get. Unfortunately it is also very impractical. There was an AC vent right on top of us and by the time the server finished serving all the vegetables, potatoes etc, everything had already lost too much temperature. I am not sure if there is a solution for this, maybe the cart needs plate warmers or something, but all of the fanciness is gone if you are left with cold food, and this was the case. Unlike other reviews, we were not offered a complementary desert. Not that we would have a desire for dessert, the portions were perfect and we probably would just have tried it. But as a gesture, and in this kind of establishment is common and appreciated by guests. Wine selection was very good. All in all, I think I just probably had bad luck. Maybe I will give it a try in the future again...but at tip, I have to think about it twice"
