   Our most recent visit on a Sunday afternoon was disappointing. We have eaten here before and had great food and service. It seemed like Sunday was having a bad day in the kitchen which was not helped by what appeared to be a short-staffed in the front of the house. I will chalk this up to a bad day and will try again.

   Waited 40 minutes for food. Saw other tables that came in after us getting food. All 4 of us ordered soup and quiche. When we finally got food, soup was room temperature and quiche was cold. We told server and he offered to get us new food but it was getting late and we said just box it up. Very disappointing. I had been there many times and had great food and service. It was first time for the other three ladies and they don’t plan to return

   1st time here with a friend, had Salmon Benedict - I would not come here and get this again, only so-so. Server was great!

   The chicken soup was phenomenal. The croissants were typical and really had no flavor. I tried both the chocolate and pistachio.

   In the very heart of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood lies a pretty good facsimile of a French bistro. The food is reliably good and includes unexpected additions like fresh and free slices of warm French bread. Quiche is among their daily features, something I order almost every visit. I’ve been when the place is buzzing with the Sunday brunch crowd and other times when it is quiet with no music blaring and the kitchen sounds very distant. The tables are not crowded, and carrying on an unrushed conversation is easy.

   Food was just ok, not commensurate to the price. Service was extremely slow from the waiter. We were going to order a second round of drinks but opted out because we didn’t have another 30 minutes to wait. Food came out quick because they were on a limited menu for Blink which was obviously already prepped and waiting. The meatballs came out in about 90 seconds. The fries, meatballs and chicken/gravy were loaded with salt. The rustic potatoes looked and tasted like potato salad that had been microwaved. Hamburgers were fine. Salad was ok, nothing special. Overall I’d rate it a C+

    I was very disappointed in the croque madam. It was dry, bechamel sauce was too thick and tasteless … had to request a side of it because there wasn’t much on the sandwich part. That’s when I realized it was tasteless. The croque wasn’t hot at all, skimpy on the meat and cheese compared to the amount of bread. My friend got the salad nicoise salad with fries and they were excellent. Service was great … Ben was our server.
