Classic French eats like moules frites and salade nicoise dominate the menu--written in marker across aged mirrors, in classic bistro fashion. But show up for brunch and you're likely to consume more alcohol than food. Felix is always raucous during weekend afternoons, as the crowd--comprised of ex-pats, wannabe ex-pats and anyone else who prefers futbol to football--revel together in drunkenness, in the name of nothing in particular. Waiters, each donning the standard "Je t'aime Felix" blue and yellow tee, struggle to dodge tables set close together while satisfying the constant demand for…

Attacked By Manager

by anthonyerice

I friend suggested we meet here for drinks. What a MISTAKE. I arrive, lock-up my bike curbside to a newly planted tree. I walk in with a smile and was immediately confronted by a woman flailing her arms and yelling at me. She demanded that I move my bike because I was "kiliing her tree". She exclaimed that she is the Manager. My bike has a Centermount Kickstand and stands completely erect. I placed a 1-lb U-lock around the tree, causing it no stress or pain. I tried to calmly and rationally explain this to her but she was just not listening. Out of courtesy to my friend, I proceeded to have drinks. The wine was good, but the service was poor, and when you're spending $10.00 on each glass of wine, you expect more from the staff. Strangely, there were also flies hovering over our table. It was almost like a Seinfeld episode. Bottom line, there are a plethora of other restaurants in the area that will welcome you and your business better. Oh, and on my way out, the manager made sure to get in one more rude comment, then wished us a good night.

  • Pros: Location
  • Cons: rude ruDE rUDE-Oh, and did I mention RUDE!

Going strong

by CSMobileUser

Felix is Brazilian French fusion that makes it a standout for people in the mood to enjoy mojitos and eggs florentine while listening to high energy samba mixed house on a Sunday afternoon. Great crowd and serivce was good ... ignore the other reviews this place rocks

Overly hyped,service bad, waiters unfriendly - go to McDees!

by Lonas

My friends and I made a reservation at 3pm on a Saturday (actual date was 16th of May '09). Two fellows were sitting at a table and were just talking and drinking up their cocktails. We were already standing in queue for 30 minutes after 3 o'clock, and we complained to the manager to which she replied: "these people are paying over 200 bucks". Suddenly the waiter went to their table, making them leave. So first they kicked the poor guys out and then they even p*ssed us off when we asked for why our table wasn't cleared at 3pm when it was supposed to be?! - This was probably a bad start, now you think it will get better?

Think again. But to make the long story short the food was okay, the service was bad. It took them hours to bring our food. The waiter did not even know who ordered which and he mixed it up.

At the end we were figuring out our bill. The waitress sarcastically asked us if we were having problems with the bill or was she really telling us to hurry and get out. Like the two poor people before us, a waiter also came to our table and said that there was a group watiing for the table so we had to leave. How RUDE is that?

If your plan is to go there - rather go McDees, their food is equally average, cheaper, waiters are friendlier, and you won't be thrown out after 25 minutes.

  • Pros: food average
  • Cons: takes forever to be seated even with reservation
