food was aweful

by dardashj

The food was actually aweful. I'm not picky - but it was actually gross. The mussles were the fishiest things I've ever tasted, the seabass was bland, the goat cheese salad was missing the goat cheese, the penne w/ chicken had bones in it... It was disgusting. Nice atmosphere, the service was very pleasant and the desert was good. Wouldn't recomend it for dinner!

A night to forget

by stash212

We ate here on Valentine's Day, and it was a huge mistake. We were seated in the rear garden, which was enclosed and heated for the winter, but because of a draft (and the fact that it was 18 degrees outside) we froze for most of the evening. Our waiter took our order at 8:45. We did not see him again until 10 pm, when he asked us if we wanted our desert. SINCE WE HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR DINNERS YET, we were a little surprised. People were complaining and walking out. The food was so-so, but the service was so bad it was appalling. The manager didn't even apologize to us because he was so preoccupied with 5 other angry tables. We would not go back here if they paid me to eat.

• Pros: None

mediocre at best

by chickee266

The citysearch review is out of date. The cuisine is not French/Morrocan, it is Italian and limited to maybe 6 entrees to choose from.

The food was mediocre and the service was severely slow. It took about 2 1/2 hours to be served our 2 courses. We ordered a glass of wine and were finished eating and paying before the wine came. As we waited I watched 3 seperate groups of diners discuss how dissapointed they also were.

We sat in the tented "Garden", which consisted of 2 fern plants. The folding chair I was seated at was uncomfortable. It was heated, but diners wore their coats throughout their meal.

Our waiter was friendly and it is a shame that he didnt have a supportive staff to work with.

This is a casual cafe. Not terrible, but not the restaurant in the reviews of 2002.

• Pros: inexpensive
• Cons: ambiance, speed, food
