BOULON BRASSERIE REVIEWS

Came back for the pasta I had before but it wasn’t on the menu anymore, I got the shrimp hot dog instead but it wasn’t very good. Dry and the bread wasn’t fresh We were having a birthday brunch for my friend, and she got flowers for us everybody refused to bring a vase and we’re kind of mean about it, that already set a negative mood from the start and I felt bad for my friend who was so happy about her flowers but had literally nowhere to put them, I feel like in places like this staff should care more about simple details like these. After some time one kind guy who worked there came over and offered a glass for the flowers so it was nice. I will give a 10 for the atmosphere and desserts on the menu.

Beautiful atmosphere and restaurant. Service was exceptional, and the food was wonderful. Highly recommend for brunch. Our waitress Martha was very sweet, attentive, and made great recommendations. Thank you for an amazing Sunday brunch!.

Anthony was an excellent server! His recommendations helped make our culinary experience a delightful one. I, too, recommend the crab beignets. You won't be disappointed.

CHEZ FABY REVIEWS

I wanted to treat myself and stopped by for breakfast. I was greeted with such kindness and such sweet service; lovely hostess and waitress. The food arrived so quickly within about 10 minutes. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, and I can tell you that this was the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever eaten. Generous portion too The hollandaise sauce was so creamy and delicious!!.

Absolutely delightful authentic French bistro brasserie! Chez Faby's owner-chefs are outstanding! The staff is wonderfully accommodating! Sit outside on the sidewalk at a French cafe table, or dine inside. The eggs benedict on croissants are incroyable. Not to be missed!.

This place was amazing. Better crepes and croissants then what I had while traveling in Switzerland. Chef is from Paris and you can really tell. So good! Great service!.

RESTAURANT BT REVIEWS

At first I wasn’t sure if this fusion would work, but it certainly does! Every single item we got were so flavorful and delicious. We got the lobster bisque, the duck burritos to start, and lamb (special for the day) and shaken beef imperiale for main, and croissant bread pudding to finish. Every item was seasoned well, and loaded with flavors without powering, and delicious. The service was phenomenal. Wait staff were timely and very attentive. The ambiance has an intimate vibe perfect for small group special occasions or date night.

Amazing! Had the Dungeness crab rolls, rosemary rack of lamb, duck duck goose and croissant bread pudding. Excellent ambience and food! Pomegranate saketini is delicious! Service was very efficient, very kind waiters. Loved everything about BT!.

The chef is a master at their craft. Some of the best dining I've had this year. Will definitely come again.
