Faux food. My first experience there I was actually looking forward to trying it. Service from the moment we set foot in the door was bad beyond belief. They couldn't even find our table and led us on a complete circuit of the restaurant. Then the food was mediocre at best. I complained to the point where they actually comped us a meal and we went back. Clearly marked as VIPs, the service was now outstanding but the food still stunk. Bistro 110 is bad food for the tourists who don't know better.

Yup, it's the food for me too. Milepig's comments pretty much match my experience of the place - badly cooked "French" food for tourists that don't know any better. Mrs Schmidt and I happen to live very close by and were lured in by the look of the place and sort of hoping that it might be a good little neighbourhood option but sadly it was not to be.

BF and I went there after we found out it had received a star. I agree: it's good, but nothing spectacular. I thought everything was way too heavy on the butter, personally.
