   The four of us had a very tasty brunch. There were three coffee drinkers and the staff was attentive and kept the cups full. We had dessert too. The carrot cake was so gigantic that I gave half of mine to an adjoining table making four visitors from Michigan happy. I thought the bill of $103 was a bit high since no alcohol was involved.

   Our group of six spent a couple long, chatty lunch hours here. Service was delightful from our arrival til departure. Food was solid interpretations of French classics and American standards. As a food professional i could see simple tweeks in most dishs that would have taken the kitchen from ok to really good. May even send my recipe for carrot cake, which was praised by the server, huge (!), but just ok. The crepe breton was again, ok...needs work, but great filling. Croque monsieur/madame..excellent ingredients, but too much bread and too much ham, so had a dryness that the runny egg couldn't support. Super beverages, great coffee. And again, wonderful staff. Will go again..for a late dnner, and see how that goes. Reason for late dinner? Noisiest place outside a big game day sports bar I've been to in a long time.

   I’ve been here before and it was good, but the last time I went was super underwhelming. The omelette I had was pretty much inedible and the service was slow even though the place was basically empty (at 10am on a Sunday, which is really slow for brunch). And to top it off, we paid way too much for it. Won’t go back.

   We have eaten at Barbette several times in the past year, and this was the least satisfactory of our visits. Our waiter was nice enough, but his attentiveness left something to be desired. We had to remind him about the honey for our tea when he came by for something else, he forgot that we wanted water, then we never got a refill. We had to flag him down for coffee refills the first time...then he came often enough on his own. Worst of all our food was allowed to cool off before it was delivered to the table. Since I could see him talking with a coworker behind the bar while our food sat on the kitchen window, I was not very happy with the congealed hollandaise on my Eggs Benedict. Our friend had asked for extra hollandaise when he ordered, but had to request it again when his meal arrived, and wait several more minutes for it to arrive. Not anything major on its own, but disappointing to spend more than $80 (with tip) for the level of service received in this visit. There were too many missteps for me to be very happy with this experience.

    Very disappointing. The ambiance and wait staff were wonderful during happy hour. The wines were terrific. But our meal, the lamb gnocchi contained no gnocchi. The chicken was nothing special and not very creative in flavor or presentation. Perhaps the beef dishes that our dinner guests ordered were satisfactory. The food didn’t spark any conversation
