Disappointing from start to finish.I am fan of Bobby Flay’s restaurants in general as he is know for his bold flavors. Somehow this French Bistro misses on all cylinders.I started with French Onion soup. Broth was bland, onions were not carmelized,crouton was hard as a rock.For my entree, I ordered traditional Eggs Benedict.Did not mention what it was served with. Inquired with server, he said a friccasse salad. Typically, it’s served with some sort of breakfast potato. They did offer a side of potatoes for something like $14.00. I thought that was excessive, considering adding that into the Eggs Benedict, it would have been close to $45.00. I asked if they could just add a few breakfast potatoes instead of the salad. Server said no Bobby does not allow substitutions. I don’t think Bobby would make a blanket statement like that. I asked to check with the manager & let me know. Next thing I know, entree was served to me with the salad. Salad was completely dry without any vinaigrette on it.I would have order something else, if he would have come back and said cannot make any exceptions. He did not even apologize. I asked for the manager. When I explained what happened, she didn’t seem to care of my displeasure whatsoever. She abruptly took my plate, and returned it with a small potion (which was fine) of potatoes. The table next to me also very loudly complained about the Lobster Club sandwich. H said he ordered the bacon crispy and it came out barely cooked, as well as a skimpy portion of lobster. He said nothing came with the sandwich as well.They got up from the table without eating.When I went for brunch it was ion aa Sunday prime time at 11;30 am. The restaurant was nearly half empty. In my option, I can see why. The bistro for only being a little over a year old, seemed dark and worn already. If you go across the street to Paris and dine at their French Bistro- Mon Ami Gabi, complete different experience. Restaurant is cherry, & great bistro cuisine.
