Guest Stories: Shirley Brasserie Raves

I like the place, food was good and the service was excellent. However, a few things can be improved in my opinion. For instance, I ordered onion soup but it did not come with any bread. That could have made the dish even more delicious than it was. Moreover, the carafe of wine is nothing like other places in Europe, mainly France. To be honest it was very small. So I think they should change the size of the carafe; definitely. Lastly, the music doesn’t match the environment. It sounded like the music playing was to distract the employees than setting the environment for clients. In fact, the music was very loud. Nothing against modern songs but if it was playing jazz or any kind of lounge music, the environment would be more intimate and fancy than it is.

Food was decent but over priced. Some meals are better than others. The service was nice but slow, but we noticed others were served quickly. I got the skillet omelette which was good, but a little too salty and too hot. My friend got the croque madam which was a great sized portion and tasted good. We also ordered the donut tower which was mid (do not recommend)

Came and ordered three hanger steaks rare, two of them were beyond perfection but the third was extra well done and dry and chewy but everyone was so nice we just wanted to finish up and leave. Will be back, but wish they'd pay closer attention.

Ambience was good just one thing after having three drinks you have to use the ladies room. The only thing that bothered me was the lady cleaning the restroom knocked on the door and asked me to change restrooms so she could mop the one I was in. I asked her when I got out you wanted me to change bathroom stalls so you can mop she said yes, because I need to mop that one after that, my mood was ruined, and I will never come back here again. I just found that really bizarre for her to ask me that and the girls that get it they get it
