    They were short waiters so ours was not attentive and we had to wait long durations of time to order and pay. We never received our request for additional chips.

    We went on a Monday night and it was quieter than usual which was nice. The service was good. I had the special dish of the month which was a roast cod - it was excellent. My wife had the mussels which were good. We had the Bibb salad which was very large - you could share one salad. The only thing we missed was bread - kind of unusual for a French restaurant not to provide a nice crusty bread.
