   A prefix dinner of a salad, steak frites and desert, wonderful. I travel to France/Paris a lot and this place knows how to do it right here in the states. I'm looking forward to visiting again. We also order a bottle of Bordeaux, which paired we'll with our food.

   Whelp, Medium Rare was an expensive disappointment. Especially since we waited for for brunch to celebrate brothers birthday. The dinner is probably worth it as a ‘prix fixe’ menu, but the brunch was a complete bust. 1) If you are offering your only dinner menu item as part of ‘brunch’ you better change a few things and make this point abundantly clear: it’s a smaller portion than dinner for $5.00 more without the second helping that comes with dinner. 2) your ‘communal waitstaff’ makes it poor service because no one actually comes to check on your table to see if you want drinks, need a refill, want something else? 3) so loud we couldn’t even hear ourselves, and the waitstaff couldn’t hear us either. Not exactly ‘Sunday Brunch’ relaxing. 4) don’t serve one person out of four their meal then leave the rest of the table waiting for 20 minutes when you only have four dishes on the menu, and three of them all have the same base ingredient. 5) don’t order the salad instead of the fresh fruit or parfait at brunch because unless you like pepper you won’t enjoy it. I’ve never seen my Dad turn down a salad, but he took one bite of mine, said ‘ugh’ out loud and spit it out. 6) our three smaller ‘brunch sized’ portions of steak frites, the fries were cold and stale, the meat was barely warm, and their secret sauce which is supposedly akin to a combo of bearnaise and au poivre (pepper sauce) is misleading and barely present The culottes steak is actually au poivre (coated in pepper) the dominant flavor. 7) the ‘bottomless’ drinks that supposedly make up the higher brunch price were ….undrinkable. 8) the French toast IS delicious, but not 40.00 delicious. Especially when we ordered a second order for the three of us still hungry and got 2 pieces for 12.00. Don’t think that extra piece and the burnt, cold, bland sausage makes up that price difference. 9) the huge neon sign saying ‘please do not do not do Coke in the bathroom’ should’ve told us to leave.

   The prefixe menu is genius and the quality of the food is worth the price. My only critiques are that they place the cocktail menu in multiple places and they work on their playlist. I kid you not, we heard the same 5 songs the entirety of our visit. Other than that, I’ll be back for brunch.

   First time guest and given the fact that it was a busy weekend we were sat fairly quickly. Took awhile for the 2nd round to make it out but the server did properly communicate. That said I’d give it another shot outside of lesser busier times.

   Fun place and the steak was VERY tender and delicious. I usually don’t like lean steak but this was good. Good fries and outstanding salad. It looked like other tables had good service. Our server was not good.

   Food was not great, service was not great. McDonald’s fries taste better than what they offer. Would not return. Very mediocre steak house

   We made a reservation about a month in advance (the furtherest out they’ll allow you to make reservations) for Valentine’s Day, and it did not disappoint! We arrived approximately five minutes before our reservation time and they sat us immediately. Even though every table was filled for a busy night of service for the holiday, our waitstaff was responsive and helpful. The food itself was also amazing and well priced. While everyone can and should expect the steak to be good (it was cooked perfectly and was fantastically tender), the standout surprise was just how good their rustic artisan bread was! I could live off nothing but that and butter like a European peasant of old. I was also a bit nervous about the “secret sauce” as a particularly picky eater, but found myself loving even that. I ordered it on-the-side without issue, and found myself pouring it over my steak in no time. It was a great experience! Even the dessert was delicious. I got a sundae while my wife got the apple pie. She told me it was one of the best she ever had, and my sundae (after the mountain of whipped cream) kept including unexpected, but welcome, surprises. I believe they were beads of chocolate covered crisped rice (think Crunch bars) and, I think, chocolate peanuts. So - be careful if you have a nut allergy because I’m not sure if they disclosed that anywhere, but luckily I was able to fully enjoy it. Bottom line: Completely worth it, and if I’m in the Dallas area again (and remember to make reservations), I’ll surely be back!

    Tables are extremely crunch up there’s not enough space for the servers they’re forced to move in awkward positions to be able to do their job. Other than that a great experience.
