An extremely disappointing experience. Our family has celebrated mother's day at Aboyer quite regularly over the years (and I'm a fan of George Trois). But our service at the mother's day brunch this year was a horrendous disappointment - way below expectations for a restaurant of this caliber and especially price tag.1. After receiving our round of cocktails, we waited more than 1 hour before our food arrived. Given that guests paid a deposit this year, there is no excuse for kitchen delays that long as demand was 100% predictable. When you charge a reservation deposit, there is an expectation of good service.2. After 1 hour, I asked for baguette, which the server brought with the appetizers, defeating the whole purpose of the request. It is unacceptable to make guests wait an hour for any food (especially when drinks are on the table).3. Before food arrived, two guests switched chairs. The server warned us this would confuse service staff and, sure enough, our table found itself exchanging incorrect appetizers and main courses. Really? When server already knows beforehand that 2 people changed seats, this cannot be communicated to staff?4. Bottle of wine was finished by end of appetizer course. We asked to see wine list to order another bottle for main course. No-one ever brought it. After main course served, i was eventually able to flag down our server and ask once again. About 15 minutes later, the server brought the wine list when we were already halfway done. By that point, few people wanted more wine so 3 of us ordered by the glass. My glass did not arrive until after my plate was empty. No apology; no offer to comp the glass ... no nothing.5. One guest ordered coffee which arrived cold (I can confirm). We requested another that never arrived. When bill arrived, we inquired about the coffee and the waiter brought another one, which was also cold.6. I had left my credit card with waiter upon arrival and explained I wanted to pay discreetly and not to allow other guests to pay. Bill arrived without my card, so I had to request it. Waiter came back with my card and receipt only to start discussing the itemized expenses indiscreetly in front of all the guests (precisely what I had wanted to avoid).7. When I arrived home, I realized the waiter had MASSIVELY under-charged. He had only billed drinks and 1 of the 7 meals. I immediately phoned the restaurant and, indeed, host confirmed the more than $500 billing error. After taking my credit card information, it was only when I jokingly pointed out they were lucky I'm honest that the host thanked me for calling.This is supposed to be a fine dining establishment. In the past, I have had some lovely dinners and brunches at Aboyer and its adjacent dining rooms. But this service was unacceptable. At these price points, there is a minimum expectation of service. At a minimum, an apology for the sub-part service would have been appropriate (e.g., manager apologizes to table). In other restaurants, I have been comped for considerably more benign service failures.VERY DISAPPOINTING AND VERY EXPENSIVE. When a restaurant charges a reservation deposit, they cannot argue that they were unprepared for all the customers. I will add one positive though ... my pea soup was absolutely delicious.

Came here on a friday night - the service was amazing. We started with the cheese pastries which were incredible - crunchy pastry and warm gooey cheese . We then had the salmon and tuna duo which was similarly incredible - my sister who doesn't tend to like seafood gave it a glowing review - incredibly fresh fish and very well seasoned. We split the salad lyonnaise which was good but didn't blow my socks off. For the entree we split the steak frites which was 8/10 - wonderfully cooked with a nice balance of flavors. for dessert we had the peach cobbler which was phenomenal and the profiteroles. A very yummy meal.

Party of 5 out for dinner Started out with excellent craft cocktails that were delicious, then ordered a few appetizers for the table that were so good we ordered a 2nd plate of mussels. Then moved onto the entrees 1 Lamb Ragout 2 steak frites and 2 steak Au Poivre all the steaks were amazing never thought that you could make Hanger steak so tender and of course the sauce's are Fantastic here due to the fact that you have an actual master chef of many years and the best part is $39 you can't beat it unless you go to a steakhouse to spend $80 per steak. Ended with 2 dessert orders due to the fact that we were all stuffed. Bottom line great place Fantastic food.

I've heard nothing but absolutely incredible things about Aboyer, so naturally when we were looking at restaurants to visit for during restaurant week it was a no brainer to visit. Upon arrival, the parking situation is street parking but there are a few parking lots around for you to park in. Once we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by Sergio with a friendly smile and he showed us to our table. At the table, we were offered sparkling or still water. Our friends opted for sparkling while my husband and I had still. We decided we were not drinking with dinner and wanted to enjoy the incredible food as it comes to fully appreciate all of the flavors. The water service was a bit slow considering how small the cups are, we sat with empty cups for quite a bit before we asked our waiter to just leave the bottle (mainly because we were just drinking water for the evening). While we waited for our food, we took the time to appreciate the ambiance of the restaurant. As the evening went on, the restaurant was bustling with more folks eagerly waiting for their table for dinner. Folks were able to mingle at the bar and grabbed drinks while they waited. To start, we decided to get cheesey bread (I'm so sorry for not remembering what they were called on the menu!) but they were incredible. Each bite was warm, and the filling was just enough to make it not overpowering, but super flavorful. We also got bread service with was an assortment of breads with butter and an olive tapenade. My first course was the Potato Perigord Truffle Soup. When I tell yoat i u, if I died downing in this soup, I'd be dying happily. The soup was light and the truffle flavor did not overpower the soup. For our entrees, my husband got the salmon and I got the steak frites. We decided to get both to share. The sirloin came with a chimmichuri sauce and a bearnaise sauce over a bed of french fries. The sirloin was cooked to perfection, even without the sauces the steak was enjoyable and with the sauces it made for a more flavorful bite. The fries were crispy, I had to get myself to stop eating them otherwise I would've been full just on fries. The salmon was prepared au poivre, meaning peppercorn crusted. While I'm not a huge fan of peppercorn, the salmon was delish! It was cooked beautifully, where it's not too dry or too flakey. It was served on a bed of potato puree and haricot vert. As if we weren't full yet, we had dessert. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Souffle. The waiter poured warmed milk (?) over the souffle. Each bite was warm, chocolately and truly what I needed to finish up my meal. The pictures and videos did not do our experience justice. We can't wait to come back and experience one of the George Trois dinners with Chef Michael sometime soon!

Their reservation service required a credit card so we went with/o a reservation and sat outside under the cover. Good thing because it poured but we were dry. Being outside on a summer evening was delightful. We enjoyed the salad, the steak was awesome and lamb pasta was good but not great. The Tahitian vanilla Creme brûlée was Devine! Had 3 different glasses of wines, great service but was surprised by a surcharge as their prices were high enough to not stick us w a surcharge!

My husband and i booked last minute reservations here for restaurant week. It's a small little French restaurant and it was thoroughly packed. When you walk in they offer you coat check which is really nice so you don't have to worry about it in this tight little space. We got seated but then it took THIRTY minutes to get water. There were people behind us that got seated after us and water and their food orders taken before we even got service. The food was good. My husband got the escargot and I got the potato soup as our appetizers. I loved the soup especially because it was so cold outside and it just warms you up. We both got the steak which was very tender. I got the chocolate soufflé which I wasn't crazy about. Overall if the service we got was better I would come back but I don't think it was fair how we were treated.

I came here for their cigar dinner with Up Down Cigar and it was a blast! There's very few places where you can enjoy a leisurely cigar while imbibing on wine and cocktails and have food that is a gustatory experience. I had no idea what to expect but for $125 per person, we got 3 cigars and a multi-course menu. As usual, the food is incredible and Chef Michael always hits a home run when it comes to flavors. Combining the food with a good cigar elevates the experience to a whole new level. I think I might be hooked on these cigar dinners and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

I dined solo at the bar of Aboyer last night (Friday 5/31) because of the soft shell crabs special entree they were serving that night!! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I had it along with the goose foie gras appetizer, a truffled corn soup, and sides of asparagus and the heavenly, creamy whipped potatoes (pomme puree)! The whole meal was spectacularly fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented! Danny the bartender did a great job serving me (as did his other team members, who efficiently and promptly served each part of my meal plus cleared away any unneeded dishes and ensured my water glass was always full)! Danny also served me an awesome gin and elderflower-infused pear cocktail called the Oh Pear, which gave me the most awesome heartwarming relaxing buzz the whole night! So glad I'm on Aboyer's email list so I can catch those specials --they never disappoint!!! I will be back!!!

This restaurant was highly recommended but the reality was it didn't live up to the hype. Firstly the service was lacking.The initial order was timely but the wait from salad to entree was 40 minutes.Also the wait staff was absent for long periods of time.We ordered the steak and fries along with the chicken. Both were appropriately cooked and hot but way over seasoned.The standout dish was the onion soup.overall a disappointing experience and hopefully this will change in the futureambiance was loud and difficult to maintain conversation
