    Frustrating experience Sunday Brunch. Three or Four items not in the menu. Is that what you call a "French Toast"? Over half an hour to get our food. The 5 stars is because of Wilbur and his staff. They made sure we were well taken care of.

    Second time I go there, very disappointed. Used to be much better. Extremely small overpriced portions with no or minimal sides. Did not have smoked salmon. Food took forever to arrive. The waiter was however nice.

    We were so looking forward to our dinner here. The bar is wonderful and responsive. The food was cold with small portions. Gnocchi had no flavor, steak frites small and over cooked. Strange taste to onion soup. Good escargot. Indifferent server.

    Have been going to Aquitaine for years. The food is always delicious but it seems like the portions keep getting smaller and smaller as the prices keep going up ( and no gougeres?). That's my only complaint. Otherwise the food is delicious and the service was great.

    We had been to Aquitaine in years, and it was just as good as always - if not better! Food was fantastic and our waiter was great.
