    All of the dishes were different from what I would cook at home. I like to eat at restaurants foods that I don't make myself, so that was a very good experience. A few dishes were a little too salty for my taste. Overall, it was an excellent evening.

    We were seated on time. Our server failed to materialize for about 7 minutes so we finally asked a bus person who our server was. A very confused server appeared a few minutes later to take our order. The food arrived 55 minutes after we were seated. The server failed to ever come to see how we were doing. Finally, having asked for the checkup, there was a line item that wasn’t ours. Our server was notified and came back several minutes later with a new, corrected check with zero apologies. Several other diners were noticed trying to track down their food or servers to pay. Our experience was awful.

    Good coffee, friendly great service, good music. Although my omelette was a little dry, my potatoes were perfection. I always enjoy dining here.

    We had a quiet, lovely meal. The burrata salad was delicious as was the sole. The cocktails are generous. If you’re looking to converse without shouting or straining to hear in an elegant setting, come to Aquitaine Bi.

    We have always loved this restaurant as a local, dependable and efficient restaurant. Tonight.... ugh...incredibly slow, poor service. The staff we interacted with were pulling double duty. The bartender was also our waitress. They are clearly understaffed in the dining area as well as the kitchen. We sat for almost 15 minutes after being seated to be acknowledged. The food took another 25 minutes to be delivered to the table. Not the employees fault. I have loved this restaurant for years. We are not going back.

    Reservation was honored but we did not want the table which they selected. While the service was okay the food was not. For example, the onion soup was watery, loaded with bread and lacked oniony flavor. Most of our party ordered the Vienna schnitzel which lacked flavor.

    We were disappointed in our standby French restaurant last night. I received the wrong drink, which was quickly corrected. My order of duck was really not well made, and that's why I visit Aquitaine for their duck a lorange. So, a fairly large expense for not so good a dinner. I hope this was a one off, as we like the restaurant usually.

    We all enjoyed our meals and the service was excellent. The restaurant slipped a “kitchen appreciation fee” of 3% of the total onto the bill. I have no idea what that fee is and I definitely didn’t appreciate having it tacked onto the bill.
