Joanna Knoedler Review of L'Ami Primeur
This place would be lovely if you weren't especial...
This place would be lovely if you weren't especially hungry and weren't in a rush. They have a 0600 and 0830 sitting which gives a very regimented feel to the evening. Everyone received their food at the same time and there were long gaps between courses. We arrived at 0830 and didn't get the main course until almost 10, by this time I was starving. I asked for bread, the waitress seemed surprised that I'd asked and said she would have to check with the kitchen, she then never returned so I presume it was a no. Overall, the atmosphere and decor is lovely, and the menu is very good. The main was slightly let down by being overly salted with the new potatoes slightly overdone, but it was still good and there was nothing to fault for the other courses. I think Primeur either needs to offer a less regimented serving structure with shorter wait times, or to offer something to eat in the interims.
