   Terrific meal al fresco on warm breezy summer night. Hostess was pleasant and very accommodating when we asked for outdoor table after booking indoors. Meal was delicious with highlights including champagne, snails and duck. Service brisk and efficient. Lovely neighborhood spot!

   Not the server’s fault but we were sitting under the outdoor shed and didnt get the best attention as it appeared they had too few servers. I had the avocado tartine and it was excellent. I was surprised that my friend’s omelet did not come with toast. She had to pay extra but would have gladly given up the potatoes for the toast. I would go back.

    French Roast has been a favorite casual restaurant of mine for many years. The bread supplier must have been changed, for breads are now not unlike the stuff you get at a motel’s free breakfast. The bagel was anything but a New York bagel, the sandwich bread was dried out, and the baguette was not one. What used to be a delightfully chewy French baguette has been replaced with a soft sided, seeded sandwich roll. Service was slow, but since the servers were as accommodating and friendly as ever, I’m guessing that French Roast may be having the same staffing problems as many other such businesses. Serving great bread again would go a long way toward making extended wait times more tolerable.

    Very dependable spot. Excellent egg dishes but I wanted a salad. The goat cheese salad was tasty but had barely any goat cheese in it. In the past I’ve ordered salad special but there wasn’t any this time.

    It's always hard getting good service when you eat outside, so this was no surprise. The hostess was lovely, though. They make an excellent french omelet and it is a perfect might light lunch. The outdoor seating is very nice, though might not be the best on a hot day as they are on the sunny side of the street in the afternoon. It's a place that always gives you a full bottle of water at your table, so you don't need to be the servers to top you up, a big plus! It's a bit expensive for what it is, by reliably good with a broad menu that could please a lot of tastes and inclination.

    We love French Roast but last night a solo customer and her two high strung barking dogs under her table ruined most of the evening. Other customers were commenting on the dogs persistent barking. I don’t understand why the manager did not act. Our waiter listened to our complaint and comped us on a glass of wine.

    French Roast UptownResponded on June 18, 2022Thank you for taking the time to review French Roast. i can tell you as i was the manger and I am the General Manager of the restaurant that I indeed spoke to the woman several times about her dogs> It is legally tricky for us as the she immediately said they were 'service" dogs and that opens up a whole can of worms. We rely on our guests to be mature responsible adults and behave accordingly, be it barking dogs, screaming unruly children or rude, aggressive adults it doesn't always work
