"Are you tired of overtop dining, "presentation" rather than good food, crazy wait staff and bad cocktails? If so, French 75 can't be beat! It runs smoothly from start to finish."

"This was my third opportunity to dine at French 75 and definitely not the best. My daughter and I each had a salad, duck with fingerling potatoes, and an awesome souffle. The potatoes had no flavor what-so-ever...no salt, butter, garlic, nothing. I am sure they were very healthy. The salad was a surprise as the dressing seemed to be pure vinegar. The greens were good, but the dressing was unpleasant and turned my stomach. The duck was ok, but dry. The bottled red wine we chose was quite pleasant, the ambiance was superb, the waiter was engaging, and the 3 souffles we all shared were definitely worth the visit. Our other dinner partner had a better experience as he ordered the beef stroganoff and had a filet mignon starter which he loved"
