Service
Pros:
"Service was fast and friendly."
"The server helped us along with ordering snafus, and the food and wine came out efficiently."
"Service was decent."
"Brisk, friendly service."
"The waitress was very nice."
"Service was prompt, cocktails were very good, atmosphere was comfortable and a great way to start our trip!"
"Service was welcoming and not the usual second class service I have gotten at a lot of airports."
Cons:
"Each time, including the recent one, the staff was explicitly disinterested in their work."
"This waiter, Wixxxm forced his colleague to take us to his table area, very rude."
"Terrible service. A rude waiter who argued with me about the food that was brought out."
"The only waitress even trying was a sweet girl named Nicodette who did literally everything."
"Challenged staff makes for a rather poor experience."
"Horrible service, horrible pricing and the supposed personnel that was there could care less."
"The service is non-existent."
Ordering System
Pros:
"At this establishment, you are required to order through an iPad. Which is nice if you want to eliminate human interaction."
"Easy to order and pay at the table using the QR Code to access the website."
"Ordering is electronic only, but once you find out how to do that, it's very quick."
"You order by QR code and they bring the food to your table and that’s it."
"The online ordering is ineffective and cheap."
"The steak frites came rare (as ordered) and hot with appropriate butter and very good fries."
"Service was ok. There is plenty of staff and they go around frequently."
Cons:
"The iPad is set to an 18% gratuity when the staff has done nothing. Terrible design."
"No paper menu so it takes forever for the WIFI to connect and thus to order."
"They ask for gratuity as you check out when ordering on phone."
"You order by smartphone and pay in advance. So you cannot ask questions."
"Just terrible. After 20 minutes of waiting for drinks I went and asked."
"The ipads blast ads at you while you eat, like some Black Mirror dystopia."
"You have to put your order in via iPad, almost no interaction with the staff until someone comes blindly looking for who ordered this item."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The granola yoghurt parfait is okay - bit on the sweet side and more like biscuit than oats."
"You get your money's worth."
"Our Cosmopolitans were strong and tart. The Niçoise salad was fresh and layered."
"The dishes I had were tasty and plated nicely."
"The steak frites were excellent."
"The food was actually pretty good, especially for an airport."
"The extremely expensive food was exceptional."
Cons:
"The coffee tasted like a coffee from the street or worse."
"Overpriced, food was terrible."
"Waited 45 minutes for butter noodles for my kid, a shrimp cocktail, and French dip."
"Worst dining experience ever!!!!! Don`t go to this diner because they will ask for extra money if you need some milk to go with the coffee we bought there!!"
"Both salads were decent but way overpriced. Our total bill was $60."
"Pricing was steep airport pricing."
"The grey-haired male bartender doesn't keep his mask over his mouth and nose, and he's also incredibly rude."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Prices were fair for quality, setting and in an airport."
"The food as well as decor was as good as any similar restaurant outside the airport."
"The salad with grilled salmon I had was fresh and tasted great."
"The Breakfast is fantastic! Omelettes the size of Texas. Bacon from Canada."
"If you come ready for airport price points, you won’t be disappointed by the high quality ingredients and attentive service."
"Little pricey but the food was fresh and enjoyable."
"The steak was cooked perfectly though."
Cons:
"We spent about one hundred dollars on avocado toast, fries, and a salad, which is absolutely INSANE, even by airport standards."
"$191.00 for 4 dry sandwiches (one I didn’t order) and some fries seem like a lot of money to be treated like I’m at McDonalds."
"What is not clear, unless you read the fine print at the last stage of the ordering process (which doesn’t even show you a total number or breakdown), is that you automatically get charged an 18% tip."
"I'm not a big fan of having to tip prior to even seeing an employee."
"We expected to pay high because it’s the airport after all, but $83 for a club sandwich and a burger. NOT WORTH IT."
"Don't stop at this overpriced place that was worse than fast food."
"Unbelievably slow. 20 min for drinks. 40 min for entree."
Ambience and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The restaurant is clean, modern and comfortable."
"Nice restaurant and nice decor."
"Atmosphere was comfortable and a great way to start our trip!"
"The restaurant has a wonderful French cafe feel to it with lovely decor and comfortable seating and tables as well as a nice large bar with seating."
"The overall ambience was just right: lively but still intimate."
"Plus two stars for the ambience though. Social spacing is respected."
"Best airport restaurant I’ve seen in the US and great all-around French restaurant I’ve visited regardless of location."
Cons:
"This place is not that high end for the servers to act the way they do."
"The ipads blast ads at you while you eat, like some Black Mirror dystopia."
"Horrible service, horrible pricing and the supposed personnel that was there could care less."
"Food was decent, but the prices & service were horrible."
"Expensive and food is not that good."
"You will wait forever for overly priced food."
"Very unpleasant atmosphere to sit and eat and have a conversation."
