Val Scott Thomas…read more Y'all were a great team! I was invited out for the battle of the bruschettas and I was treated sublimely. It was wonderful. The food is always great so no complaints there but my brave review is definitely the service. There were laughs, and background information on the restaurant, some of the chefs, and servers and it was also very interesting. We tried so many menu items. We had like three or four boards and several brunch items. Of course, I got the cucumber honey lemonade and I made my friend try it too. Lol. Delicious as always. 10 out of 10. However, I will say that the new battle of the board is not Great like I remember. They had super basic flavors and the ones they did experiment with different combinations were actually pretty disgusting. So, after two boards of those, we got our true blue staple favorites on the original menu. That did the trick! I think I've been to this location once or twice but I absolutely will be coming again!

The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and very helpful in explaining the menu and answering questions. I was actually surprised by how quiet the restaurant was during our visit. Based on what I had expected, I thought it would be much busier, but there appeared to be only one other group dining at the time. The food was delicious, served hot, and matched what I was expecting from the menu. Several of us ordered the lobster bisque, which was definitely a hit with the table. We also seemed to gravitate toward the filet. Mine was cooked exactly to the temperature I requested and turned out perfectly. The sides are served family-style, and our group ordered the glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Both worked really well with the steaks and gave everyone plenty to share. We finished with the trio dessert plate featuring cheesecake, chocolate cake, and bread pudding. Everyone sampled a few bites of each, and there was still enough left to bring some back to the office, so the portion was more than adequate for sharing. All in all, it was a very enjoyable lunch. Great service, excellent food, generous portions, and a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

A group of nine coworkers and I went to Bar Bludorn for happy hour on a Thursday…read more We had a reservation for eight, but they were able to quickly accommodate an additional person, which we appreciated. Since our work schedules didn't allow us to get there earlier enough to sit at the bar, we booked for 5 p.m., right as dinner service started. We were really there to enjoy happy hour: cocktails, wine and a few bar bites rather than a full dinner. That seemed to cause a little confusion. When our server asked about dinner, we explained that we were just going to hang out, drink and snack. Almost immediately, all of the menus were taken and the dessert menu appeared, which felt a little awkward considering we had barely gotten started. There were also some service quirks throughout the evening. Our server had very animated hand gestures and body language when pouring drinks and setting things down. Almost a little too theatrical for the setting. It's not a fine-dining restaurant, so some of the formal flourishes felt unnecessary. She also missed a couple of things. I ordered a sidecar alongside my first dirty gin martini, but the sidecar didn't arrive until my second martini. Not a huge deal, but noticeable. The drinks themselves were solid. I had two Condesa gin martinis, both super dirty and bruised or skating (AKA lots of little ice chips). I also appreciated that the blue cheese olives are hand-stuffed. For food, I ordered the country ham beignets, which were cute little bites, plus one fried oyster and one baked oyster. The baked oyster was very flavorful, and the presentation with the oysters nestled among the rocks was really nice. Unfortunately, the fried oyster was almost entirely batter and was so overcooked that the oyster itself was chewy enough that I couldn't finish it. Thankfully, I only ordered one. I do like that you can mix and match the oyster preparations, though, and that they're priced per oyster: $2 each regardless of the style (raw, baked, fried). There was live music, and the restaurant got surprisingly packed for a weekday, which made it pretty loud while we there. That's understandable given how busy it became, but it did make conversation a little harder with a larger group. Still, I'd consider the overall experience a good one. Bar Bludorn is already a go-to, and one slightly overcooked oyster and some over-the-top service quirks certainly aren't enough to keep me away.

We stumbled upon this spot & although the food isn't the best, the service makes up for it. Once we entered, the server greeted us right away. I'm not sure what her name was, but she was a sweetheart. Making sure our drinks were filled and we never ran out of complimentary garlic breads. The clientele seems to be on the older side and it looks like they've been regulars for a long time. We were the youngest people there and mind you we ain't spring chickens ourselves. But I'm happy to see George's has a lot of loyal customers. While the portions are huge and more than enough to take home, the prices are a bit steep for my liking & it doesn't match the quality either. The food is decent but not worth 25-30 dollars with those dishes. My date ordered the chicken Parmesan with pasta and I got my basic spaghetti with extra meat sauce. Both dishes were generous especially mine. They were not playing around on my dish. It was so much meat sauce that you couldn't even see any pasta. I thought his chicken Parmesan and my spaghetti was very strong in the tomato sauce department maybe a little too much. I like mine to have other seasonings to balance the acidity from the tomato sauce. Overall it was not a bad meal, it was so much food I had enough for lunch the next morning. The free garlic bread came out hot and fresh, fluffy on the inside and flaky on the outside. The service is warm and welcoming & even the owner came by to check in on us. Will I come back? Yes.

They had waiters that worked in the establishment for 30+ years (I know several of them worked in Rotisserie for Beef and Bird before Le Cep was opened). The waiters, the owner and all the staff were always friendly and efficient. I wish the owners all the best and hope they are well!! I am just so, so sad - I have wonderful memories of time spent there with family, friends and my late husband (who passed away 7 years ago). Bistro Le Cep and its people will be greatly missed!
