Review Summary

Across reviews for Le C.A. Resto Traiteur, patrons describe a warm welcome and a lively, open kitchen atmosphere with courteous, attentive service that many times feels impeccable, contributing to the sense of a special event or party. The menu is praised for flavorful, generously plated options such as filet mignon fondant, braised lamb shank, duck, beef tartare, fresh salads, a hearty poke bowl, and indulgent desserts like caramelized beignets, along with satisfying drink options and a pleasant overall ambiance suited to conversation. The setting near a small public square and a comfortable music level further enhance the experience, with several mentions of a diligent staff that goes the extra mile for events. On the flip side, some diners note slower service at times and consider prices to be on the higher side, with a particular main dish, a salmon tartare, reported as having a small portion and components that did not balance well, casting a negative impression in that instance. Overall, Le C.A.

Review Summary

Kalbi BBQ offers an all you can eat Korean barbecue experience with a central grill, a wide selection of meats, sushi and sides, ordered on your phone and delivered by playful robot servers alongside attentive staff. The concept and atmosphere are repeatedly cited as its strengths, making it a popular spot for groups and casual outings, with fast service and a lively, modern vibe. Several reviews praise the freshness and marination of meats and the variety of dishes, including sushi options, while noting that some items can be pricey and a few flavors feel underwhelming or generic for the price. A recurring caveat is the variable value and occasional shortages or additional charges for certain items like desserts or per-item portions, plus after-tax tipping policies that some find unclear. Weekend and peak times can bring long waits unless a reservation is made, and the inside can feel very warm and noisy, with ventilation sometimes criticized for not handling the smoke well.
