La dame qui faisait le service à l'extérieur avait de la difficulté à s'exprimer en français. La description des plats était très sommaire & l'approche manquait de chaleur.

The service was excellent! Generally, the food was nice. My shrimp & pasta were superb. My wife's Osso Buco was tough. This was the second time she ordered this dish at Bis & it was the second time it not tender & soft the way it is supposed to be. She will not be ordering this dish here again.

Also, when serving certain cocktails, it is important to insert one large ice cube rather than a bunch of crushed ice. We ordered two cocktails to start that were difficult to drink for this reason.

Otherwise, we do enjoy this restaurant & will come back.
