I even see it when I'm loitering at Matchstick coffee while locking my bike or parking my car so it certainly is evident where service is bizarre.

I've had the duck confit and the seasoning was inconsistent. I was like, what? But nothing to be overly disappointed about. At least it wasn't over salted. The sirloin I've tried and yeah, the peppercorn sauce wasn't mind blowing.

Comparing to other French restaurants in the city, LFB is acceptable given quality of food to price. Service on the other hand is like a scratch and win lotto ticket.
I do have to say that while observing the servers throughout the night I did see better service from them with some random tables. Couldn't quite put my finger on why though but whatever the reason is, I think is unacceptable either way.

I'm still really sad that my our favorite French Restaurant Mistral closed because the head chef/owner got into a serious accident. That place had awesome food, awesome service, and a good vibe. I'm hoping they reopen in the next year or 2.
