    We’ve frequented the Montecito location and wanted to return to the downtown spot as it had been a favorite in years past. Sadly, the service was very sporadic and very mediocre. We felt incidental rather than special. The steak frites didn’t come close to the same dish at the Montecito location ( which was fantastic). Nothing special at all. Our bus person was more attentive than our waiter but we still needed to flag down servers for water and wine.
