went here with some friends to try out this ‘new and trendy’ place.
the place has a great vibe - fantastic soundtrack, a cool art deco design, and a good crowd.
the french food is really good, but perhaps a bit expensive for what you get. you would be likely to find food of an equivalent, or better, quality with a larger serving size at another french restaurant. but i suppose you don’t go to a place like bar margeaux just for the food.
the drinks are great, and there’s an extensive drinks list. however, they are very expensive, so prevented us from indulging perhaps as much as we otherwise would’ve!
we waited a very long time for the main meals to arrive too. i’m not sure whether that’s a tactic to keep you ordering the (expensive) drinks, or whether the service was just poor on the night we went. but we were there for just over three hours and had only had some shared entrees and mains, and was only just offered the dessert menu. for a total dining time of three hours i would’ve expected to have ordered and been served dessert in that time! we ended up calling it a night instead of ordering dessert, so they missed the chance there.
this is a great late night bar, especially with the late night dining options, but perhaps consider going to a dedicated french restaurant of quality french fare is what you’re after.
