Guest Stories: Shirley Brasserie Raves

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

The workers were nice. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the crudo and the lobster pasta was okay. I liked their beef bourguignon although it took a bit to come out. The inside of the hotel is nice- it’s all the way inside to the left once you come in.

Highlight of the evening was the drinks - good cocktails, good wines by the glass at not crazy prices. Lackadaisical service, though, and meh food. Escargots were prepared in a manner unlike anything I've ever had. "Crudo" was ceviche. Beef tartare for my daughter was prepared tableside but arrived well after I got - and started eating - my steak frites. There are other better places to go for French bistro food.

Jet legged after 11 hours flight, Shirley Brasserie was our choice for food. We’ll do that again when we are back in LA, because from welcoming service to great food we left our table with a (sleepy) smile.
