Review Summary

Bar Billard Notre Dame comes up in reviews as a bar with a great atmosphere, welcoming service, and affordable prices that suit a casual hangout for billiards and drinks. Patrons note friendly, attentive staff and a vibe that makes you feel at home, with positive experiences when the seasoned staff are at the bar. However, service can vary, including a criticism of a bartender who prioritized closing over serving during service hours despite tipping, which left a sour impression. Logistical hiccups also appear, such as a cash only policy with an ATM that sometimes does not work, forcing a separate trip to withdraw cash after drinks are served, and hours that do not always start on time. The overall impression is of a popular local spot for friends to socialize and play pool, valued for its prices and atmosphere, but with room for more reliable hours and consistent customer service.View restaurant profile

Service is described as good and professional, with attentive staff, and food is tasty with entrées such as Arancini and Parmigiana and a pesto burrata pasta main; extra tomatoes are charged separately but reasonably. For cold weather, a hot chocolate Chantilly is a welcome option, though it sometimes arrives warm rather than hot and heat retention could be improved by better glassware. The overall vibe is chill and the setting suits those who want to linger, watch sports such as baseball, and enjoy the scene without retreating to their rooms.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews paint Le Kahéra as a flavorful, inviting spot with a mix of Egyptian-inspired and fusion dishes, where bowls and sandwiches like ful, shawarma bowls, shish poulet, and pita shish are praised for being hearty, aromatic, and well seasoned, with vegan options and good value noted by many.
