In Short
The lavish setting--intricate Venetian chandeliers, hand-painted murals and marble floors--suggests royalty. The menu caters to rich tastes with such specialties as steak pomme frites and escargot. The signature dish is grilled "pig foot" with bearnaise sauce. The raw bar features seafood flown in fresh daily from around the world: oysters, shrimp, clams, mussels, lobster and stone crabs. The brasserie can satiate any craving for French fare, 24 hours a day.

Best escargot in town! I've been several times and have always enjoyed the food and experience. Seafood and soups are delicious!

One of the worst restaurants in town. The waiter barely spoke english (and his first language clearly wasn't french), never even asked for a drink order, and when I was given a little dinky menu that said "QuickBites", I asked if there was a full menu I could order from, and was told in very broken english that there was no such thing. I don't know if they serve different items during the day, but I was told no basically, and ignored for a good chunk of our dining experience. I went with two other people, and between the three of us, we ordered the N.Y. Strip steak, the linguini, and the calamari. The only thing that was even edible was the calamari, and even then the maranara that came with it tasted bottled. My friend kept having to pick little rosemary twigs out of his mouth from the linguini, and said, to be blunt, that the aftertaste on the tomatoes in it tasted like throw.up, seriously. None of the plates contained any garnish, or even any sides. I was given a plain white plate with a hunk of chared, burned, medium well inside steak (no pink at all), when I had ordered it medium. I was able to flake off burned pieces, it was so well done. They put a dish on the side of what tasted to be nothing but worchestershire sauce. The steak was also not seasoned AT ALL. At least the calamari was okay, so we all just ended up munching off of his plate instead. Luckily the remulade sauce on it wasn't spicy really. All in all, this is the least french "French" restaurant I've ever experienced, some of the poorest service, and definitely the worst food. This place is definitely memorable, but it's in that "Man, we are NEVER coming back here" running joke sort of ways. I can't believe we just spent $65 on that. Next time I will literally eat the $65 in cash, it will taste better.
