With all the star restaurants I've been to, this was my least favourite. The overall experience was…read moreextremely mediocre; to begin with, when we arrived and got seated we waited for 15 minutes before someone could notice that we weren't attended or offered aperitif yet. After we had our aperitif, the man who brought our 1st appetizer should have informed the main waiter, that my partner wasn't a meat eater (which we had clearly started) The main waiter then came along with a meat suggestion. However, this wasn't the main concern. Few things that I would like to point out are: * Food was very mediocre (especially the dessert, it seemed like a brownie from Starbucks and nothing of a star restaurant) * We were at the restaurant until midnight and most of the customers had gone, but a few were left, to my surprise I notice the waiters went to bar and were cheering to the left-over champagne. I believe they could have just waited a bit. * The wine which was presented with the fish dish was empowering the fish taste, therefore I believe it was a poor choice. * It spoilt my evening because it was the birthday of my friend and in my reservation email and confirmation phone call I had specifically mentioned to do something during the dessert and they had promised that they would. (They totally forgot about it and I couldn't remind them while I was being seated there) * After we paid the bill, there was not one to thank us for the visit or to check if we were fine or ready to leave, no one offered to get our jacket either) * Cherry on the cake is when I arrived at the Vallet Parking no one was there and I had to run around the restaurant parking in rain looking for someone. All of the above is not a big deal but it's something I would expect out of a Brasserie not a "STAR" restaurant, if I were from Michelin I would drop the *.

We don't often go to Michelin star restaurants. However when we do ... wow! Our lunch at La Villa…read moreLorraine was pure perfection. Classic dishes with a modern twist. A perfect service. Fantastic wines. The surprise was that the lunch overall is more than affordable (for the quality for the meal) and bonus point - La Villa Lorraine also offers a special youth price which I would totally encourage those young enough to take advantage of.

If there's anything I hate reading on Yelp, it's the long-winded, indignant stories about what bad…read moreservice someone got. "I was going to this restaurant, and I was expecting GOOD service. But do you know what I got? BAD service! Can you believe it?!?" I'll just share a few anecdotes instead. Also for the record, we did have a reservation... * When we sat down, no one paid attention to us for like 10 minutes. Then the table next to us got seated, and got their menus right away. My wife was like, "Can we get a few of those?" After that, it was the classic "they got seated AFTER us but they got their food BEFORE us!" * The table behind us actually clapped when their food finally arrived. * I ordered steak frites, and my frites never came. I was trying to finish the steak and have them take the plate before I could ask for them so I could be indignant about it, but my wife stepped in and some frites eventually came. * At least twice, we saw members of the staff get into arguments with each other right in front of the customers. * The bill - let's just say, even though I know the process of getting the bill is a bit different than in the U.S. (where they tend to hurry you out of the place once you've stopped ordering things), I've never had to literally chase my waiter around the restaurant to pay him. Having said all that... The food wasn't bad, and the garden was nice.

Belayed Mother's Day dinner last night. To change our usual habits, we chose 'Le Quignol' for the…read morefirst time. The restaurant theme was emphasized by a large collection of puppets hanging from the ceiling and the walls. The lightning was just right and the interior was actually quite cozy. So far so good. We waited a long time at the door until someone came to welcome us. We had reserved upfront (which is recommended) and were pointed a table in the far corner by a waiter with a total lack professionalism. We walked ourselves to a table we hoped was ours. It took around 15 minutes and many attempts from our side before we managed to get someone to take our orders. We had an aperitif and order our various dishes. (The menu contains traditional Belgian dishes) Over the food we can very short. There was no personal touch, it was served and looked as if it came out of a canteen. The entree of 'scampis a l'ail' looked as if it came from the local frietkot. The cappaccio de boeuf was swimming in olive oil and one needed a loop to find the Parmesan cheese. The jamboneau was overdone and the meat was dry. All the time we were there, not one waiter came to ask if we were ok, if we needed anything else. Even for desert it took us 15 minutes to get the attention of the waiter. Maybe this was because of the 70's and. 80's music that was screaming from the speakers which made any conversation impossible. This restaurant was an experience to forget very fast. I promised my mother a new dinner next week and apologized to her on behalf of the restaurant.
