    Perfect dinner! We ordered the escargot, beef carpaccio, broiled pear with blue cheese, French onion soup and the fancy pate for appetizers and the rabbit saddle and fancy stew for mains. It was exceptional! Perfect wine pairing too!

    The service was not very attentive. We ate in the parklet and did not see much of our server. I got the sense that they may have been understaffed. I eventually had to go inside to make sure our food was coming. I was a bit embarrassed with my dining companions because I had picked this restaurant based upon good reviews and the reviews did not match up to our experiencex

    Food was yummy, especially the goat cheese tart at the most perfectly dressed salad. That said… It’s a quaint place, but as a result, if you have one loud person near you, which we did, forget, trying to hear your dining partner. Our first server was friendly enough, but in attentive, and the second server, while more attentive, threw the first one under the bus. That doesn’t seem right.

    We have been delighted to meet friends at La Sirene regularly over the last two years, but our visit last night was a huge disappointment. The prices have gone up significantly, and are now much higher than other excellent French bistros on the uws. The food definitely did not rise to the level of the new prices, and in fact seems to have declined in quality. Service was remarkably lackadaisical, especially when the restaurant was only half full. We will not be going back.

    This dinner was exceptional. I cannot overstate how wonderful the lapin in the mustard wine sauce was! Neither the mustard nor the wine overpowered each other as they were blended to perfection. This is an incredible lapin. My husband's foie gras was the best he has had. What a total treat. We also had fruit melba which we loved, and a pear with blue cheese which you have to make at home because it's not easily available.
