Great decor & atmosphere, but apart from that the place is definitely overrated. We were a party of 10 which became a party of 9 due to an emergency & they weren't happy about this. They tried imposing a group menu on us, finally settled on à la carte if everyone ordered an appetizer & main. I was able to negotiate getting 2-3 appetizers as none of the mains were interesting to me. I ordered French onion soup which was bitter, likely from burnt onions. How you mess up something as basic as French onion soup in a French bistro is beyond me. I ordered a tarte fine which was a little bland, but all right & some oysters which were fresh. I ordered Le Figaro one of their signature cocktails which didn't taste like much. The service was nothing exceptional. Never got a water refill, even when I asked. The waitress wasn't mean or anything, but basic stuff like refills asking if we wanted repeat drinks etc was lacking. They imposed a 15% service charge at the end categorically, I guess because of the group size. Would have been good to indicate on the menu or inform everyone beforehand as a courtesy. If you're an instagrammer I guess it's okay, but if you value good food & decent service, I wouldn't go. I think 3 stars is generous.
Wow ! Une expérience exceptionnelle, tout d'abord le lieu est très élégant & moderne. Allant même jusqu'au design des wc. Le service est courtois & soigné digne des grand restaurant 5* On y mange vraiment très bien. Pour ma part j'ai pris le burger, un délice, on sentait bien les aliments & les frittes était fraîche. Le café est au grain & maison alors que demander de plus ! Foncer guys

Chaleureux nouveau restaurant, le service client était à la hauteur, les plats délicieux. Un coup de coeur pour le beurre & l'espace juste magnifique, le concept de ce lieu est rafraîchissant, classe & beau. Il y a toutefois matière à amélioration pour les cocktails & l'attente fut un peu longue mais dans l'ensemble je recommande & j'y retournerai de ce que j'ai compris le restaurant venait d'ouvrir il y a 5 jours lorsque nous y sommes allé donc j'ai hâte d'y retourner pour constater les améliorations .
Went here for the special Easter brunch. The restaurant itself looks quite nice, but the experience eating here was dismal. The hostess took long to seat us despite having a reservation, & the wait staff took long to serve us & rarely checked in on us. We ordered smoothies, but were told they had run out & the person who makes them was gone for the day. Does the chef not know how to put fruit in a blender? One of the dishes we ordered came with yogurt - but the server didn't bring a spoon until we asked. The food was acceptable, nothing special. There was a fruit fly circulating around during our meal. In March there's no insects outside yet, but apparently there is in this restaurant. For a restaurant in an upscale hotel like the Honeyrose, I expected much better.
Food Sea Bass (A little bland. I think I would have liked a bit of texture like something crunchy) Grilled Duck Breast (The mushroom puree was a miss for us) Creme Blulee (Top was burned) Service Very friendly Atmosphere Nice chill & laid back. Cozy & intimate.

Some of the food was good, but most was too salty. The tartare tasted funny & the waiter made a mistake with one plate & tried to tell us we we didn't tell him what we wanted correctly. He often seemed to forget about us, not coming back to see if we were ok & not refilling water - we had to track him down to tell him the order was wrong & again when we wanted the bills. Ok restaurant if you're staying at the hotel, but I would not recommend otherwise.
I stayed here at the end of February & absolutely loved my stay. Chic new cozy trendy hotel. I sincerely think it's one of the best places I've stayed in a very long time. The details in the architecture of this place is absolutely divine. Not a single spot didn't leave me in awe. It's absolutely gorgeous in all of the common spaces. The breakfast at the Commodore was delicious. Service was a little slow & wonky at first but staff was friendly & food was extra yummy, well cooked & seasoned. Staff throughout the hotel were very friendly & welcoming. Really enjoyed my stay. The room was gorgeous & clean. The only thing I didn't really like is the toilet situation... No one wants to be heard when nature calls, doesn't matter if you're in a romantic or platonic situation...closed room with a fan will always be the way to go.
The main meals were delicious. Well plated. The service was reasonable. The entrees were also beautifully decorated, but I feel we were served 1 scallop sliced thinly. Would have liked to finish the dinner with a decaf but none was available

Had brunch at Commodore with family after my teen saw it on TickTok (!!!). Everything was perfect but it's clearly overpriced. Sharp & kind staff, great ambience, generous & delicious meals. But at 124$ for 3, without alcohol or specialty coffee, it's clearly overpriced & that's why I didn't give 5 stars.
Dinner service was slow but the waiter was delightful, helpful & overall good. The food itself was underwhelming & flavorless. The menu is lacking & limited, so it's hard to decide what to order. Breakfast/brunch was where it fell off. Next morning I went for brunch, got seated but no one ever came to even offer water. I waited for a while trying to flag someone down. After 30 mins of nothing, I walked out.
Nous avons déjeuner un samedi. Super service, notre serveur Philippe a été avenant & très aimable. Nous n'avions pas besoin de redemander du café & il arrivait 👌 Belle ambiance & beau décor, la nourriture était très bonne. Nous n'avons pas été déçus.
Gnocchi was dry & unrecognizable. Duck breast had good flavor but was very tough & over cooked. Took a long time (1 hour) to get our main course, it was obvious the kitchen forgot our order. No big deal but kinda messed up our plans for the night. Had to remind the staff & flag them down to get anything. But it was clean & the Espresso martini was good!
The atmosphere & the place are very cute, the service was very good & the staff were nice. The food was OKAY, I got the vege egg benedict for brunch, it can be better. They have GF options.
Great food but service is just nonexistent. We were there for dinner last night as hotel guests. The server sat us at the table but then didn't come back even with the water for a good half & hours, the same issue continued throughout the night. At the end we considered ordering the dessert & asked to see the dessert menu. The server said she will go get the menu & disappeared again. We waited & waited for well over 30 minutes & then had to flag another server to just ask for our final bill. Awful experience.
