Unpopular opinion .. food was bland, had the fettuccine special, zero flavor. Service was not the best, had to ask for every drink to be refilled. 6 people took almost 2 hours from start to finish. Perhaps it was an off night? Who knows.
I had the mussels, must have been bad. I have not been so sick in a long time. The service was bad. I used to love this resturant.
Everything was excellent - and we loved the cozy vibe. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. My only ding - it took a long time to receive our entrees, but the wait was worth it.
We made a reservation weeks ago to celebrate a birthday, party of 2. We arrived 5 minutes early, and stood at the entrance waiting for someone (anyone) to acknowledge us. We finally inquired at the bar and we're unceremoniously dumped at a bar (not dining room) table, in the line of kitchen traffic. The noise, punctuated by the very loud arguments between staff at the bar in front of patrons, was mind-numbing. The two of us, sitting 3 feet apart at a ridiculously small table (designed for drinks, not for dinner!) could barely converse. The service was tepid, at best. Our female server greeted us with "I'm sure you're in a hurry, but I'm very busy", rather than even a simple Hello. We assured her we were looking forward to a relaxed dinner, were not in a hurry at all and were celebrating a special occasion. She basically ignored us most of the evening, as she was frequently behind the bar mixing drinks. The best service we received was from the young lady busing tabled, who was kind, smiling and able to retrieve my coat from coat check at the end of the evening. The food (shared cheese plate, mussels dijonnaisse, duck confit, and shared profiteroles ) was really very good, reasonably priced (total tab of $120 before tip), but the special evening we had planned was diminished due to service and horrible seating.
I'm French.... Good food... Good ambiance. Lovely dinner. Will go back. Good times
AMAZING food, the escargot was excellent, my wife and I split an entree so we could try a little of everything including the shrimp and avocado salad which was delicious. The server was so attentive and the atmosphere was very charming. I would travel to Lexington to eat here again!
This might be in my top 5 restaurants ever and I've been to a lot of restaurants in many cities. Parking: It's always easy to find street parking, and it's open when the meters are free.
We always visit when we are in Lexington, KY. Marc has a wonderful restaurant.
Always enjoy my time here... Reminds me of the old French bistros in New York's West village. Fantastic pasta tonight with shrimp, chorizo, and broccolini!
