I went for Mother's Day & the service was so bad I certainly won't go back. The space itself is nice but some of the seating is really inconvenient (they seat people without any consideration if they are elderly or children who need more space). I had made a reservation ahead. The food took a long time to come despite it not being that busy. The coffee (a cappuccino) was -not- drinkable but I didn't complain about it. They then brought in old fries that were cold without our mains. Again I didn't complain & just put them aside as it wasn't eatable. They then brought the mains a while later which were good (cod burger & bagel) . They sent an additional fry which wasn't old'from the chef' who I guess realized he sent us old cold food but didn't replace the two orders until I asked but of course, the fries never came despite being part of what we paid for. I had asked for a side of avocado, just avocado for my baby to have (shocking request for a brunch…) that caused quite an issue. The manager came with some fried foods & was very rude & abrasive as if I had done something wrong for asking for avocado & I explained I had specifically just asked for a side for my baby to have. Allegedly there was no avocado or fresh fruit without seasoning for my baby. A bit concerning if you make fresh food but can't accommodate a slice of avocado for a baby. I asked for the Check so i could leave. I had also asked for a piece of toast a long time prior to asking for the check which was brought only once every dish was finished & we were waiting to leave. The service was dreadful & the manager in front of us was saying she would speak to the waiter privately afterwords, not to remedy the situation or offer a better service… but because the waiter dared say they had avocado in the kitchen. Whole thing was very weird. I think it's a decent Space if you are 20 yo woman who want to brunch with a girlfriend but if you need or expect any quality service or help picking a dish… skip it. & make sure you don't ask for a side of avocado! & skip the coffee.

I also am noticing they seem to only respond to positive google reviews… which I think tells you all you need to know about their service.

Absolutely loved my experience at Le Passé Composé. The atmosphere is warm & charming, perfect for a relaxed brunch or a cozy meal. The food was beautifully presented & full of flavor-everything felt fresh & thoughtfully prepared. The staff were friendly & attentive without being overwhelming. Definitely one of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. I'll be coming back for sure.

I really enjoyed my brunch there; everything was excellent from the food to the service. You can tell there's real attention to detail in every plate, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, & flavors that stand out without being overdone. Eggs Benedict were perfectly executed, & the bone marrow was rich, bold, & definitely a highlight. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, & the service is attentive & knowledgeable, which really completes the experience

Food was good but there are definitely other places that offer better value for what you are paying... Great location & atmosphere but not sure I would come back for a 1 item $50 breakfast/brunch with coffee.

I tried two items out of their brunch menu + two smoothies, the Rustic & the French Toast + Strawberry & Dubia Royal smoothies.

If you like mushrooms, you would absolutely love the Rustic, it was very delicious & well-made dish, I enjoyed it a lot! On the other hand, however, the French Toast was the worst I've ever had in my entire life, & I'm a person who loves French Toast! Nevertheless, this was so poorly done that I couldn't even finish one of the breads out of the two, it was fried with something like bread crumbs on top, it was too greasy, & had an awful texture.

Regarding the smoothies, the Strawberry one was very delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of their Dubai Royal.

As for their service, both times they brought my smoothie almost at the end of my meal. When I requested to take the rest with me, they brought me the to-go glass on the table to do it myself!! This is not a service one would expect to receive in a restaurant on this level & with this vibe.
