    Of course in a restaurant with 200 guests we understand that there is much noise ( but here it is really to much , but the table that was given to us was really a shame. We were surrounded by waitress and waitresses going and coming all the time, it is simpel this table should normally not exist but to put a maximum of people they put tables also in places where it is really very unpleasant to be and eat. On top of that the food was not up to the standard of the place you expect and the price we paid. And the " Sole Goujons " was frozen fish, and i do not know what kind of fish it was but certainly not "Soles", on the 6 oysters i had for sure 2 where not fresh and tepid Really unpleasant, poor food, run run run... away Marc

    I love Balthazar for its excellent consistency all year round but its Christmas Prix Fixe (plus carafe of wine) is such good value and a really lovely Christmas buzz!
