    excellent service, excellent wine recommendation, soupe du jour was awesome and all four dishes were excellent according to my other 3 guests. The only thing was that my Mille-Feuilles was different but still very good. Also I would expect a different kind of music for a Brasserie Francaise, seemed a bit loud at first in the lounge right by the DG but not so much once we sat down at our designated table.

    Food was a solid A but the service ended very poorly. The waiter came with the check cover opened and after I paid he literally dumped the transaction receipt on the table and said “Merci” and left. I gave a 20% tip on a $350 bill so I dont understand the attitude at all…
