Oh come-on - "sumptuous"!? An accurate review: basically if it's the only place open, then that's the only time it's worth going. The service is pretty poor and the so-called French food is just average to under-par.
Whether I am looking for a tasty Sunday brunch or a savory dinner, I have never been disappointed with the food at French Roast. Dieters need not apply though, as they are not afraid to use lots of butter, cheese and olive oil in their amazing french bistro fare. Best bets are the croque monsieurs, olive and potato omelettes and on a cold day, nothing beats their hot chocolate. Warning: beware snooty waiters and long table waits in the summer.
