   I had a reservation for Valentine's Day. We arrived shortly before the time. There were two couples waiting and it was past their reservation time. It was at least 10-15 minutes before a "hostess" "greeted" us. The hostess looked like she was on crack and was so hoarse, it was difficult to realize that she was telling us that there would be a wait. We left. Although I have checked food and ambience, I needed to check those boxes in order to post. We did not stay so I cannot comment on the food or ambience.

   It was Valentine’s Day and it was a special menu which we were unaware of. We had a 7:30 reservation- got there at 7:25- we waited until 7:45- with 4 others who were waiting as well. I had to ask if there was a maitre d to seat us. It took another 5 minutes before we were seated. As we looked around people looked like they were waiting a long time for food and looked annoyed. As we were about to sit down the people next to us said don’t bother- food was lousy and service was really bad- we decided to leave and go elsewhere.

   This was Valentine's night. Maybe they're not used to a crowd in the evening. The service was lovely and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. It was a special and limited menu which was disappointing. My husband had been looking forward to choices on their regular menu. They had a surf and turf listed. He doesn't eat surf so requested just the filet. The chef agreed to do that. I ordered the duck. Neither was eatable. The waitress was kind and took the duck off our tab - she said everyone was complaining about it. The mashed potatoes on the plate were cold. Dessert was delicious. We ordered one dessert, but the waitress brought two, only charging for one. As we left she handed us a box with 4 chocolate covered strawberries in it. A very sweet gesture that had us leaving the restaurant feeling happy in spite of the bad food.

   Chat Noir is always a joyful experience. The staff was attentive and do a fine job of taking care of us. The food was and always is great and the environment feels like an intimate setting for a nice romantic evening with great food and drink. It was Valentine’s Day so we expected it to be busier than normal, the staff did an excellent job of keeping things moving. Classy place with great food and service.

   We came for the food and ambience for a romantic Valentine’s day dinner and got neither. The full menu was not available, which was disappointing. The wait staff began a loud argument and fight between them which pierced through any ambiance and French music. The chef came out of the kitchen to see what was going on. The kitchen looked untidy. We got up and left with no one offering us water or a drink or even coming to check on us as we put our coats on a walked out. I heard the food is good but we will never know because we’ll never go back. Ruined our Valentine’s Day.

   Very weird experience. Something odd about getting a valentines day menu printed in front of you, with most of the menu items being more Italian than French. The only good thing was the tea service.

   Delightful place and charming but having one waitress for all the tables is not cool. We will try going back at a different time and see how it goes

    Nice to be able to talk without having to yell to be heard and no tv’s are a winner. The background French music is just enough. Just love this restaurant.
