Always busy, try to call ahead or plan for a long wait , especially when for a party of more than two

Duck shepherds pie is to die for!

Actually, the balthazar sucks. All except for the bathroom. I love when dudes listen to me go. No but seriously. I work from the bux across spring. Tip: Use Balthazar's bathroom.

Great for people watching. But pretty average croissants & dreadful coffee. Disappointing for a place pretending to be French.

PSA: Didn't realise there were staff waiting in the bathroom to turn the tap on and hand you paper towels. Awkwardness was had.
Tracy SolorzanoDecember 30, 2015
Meh, food was OK nothing special. Service was horrible. Not impressed. Also the place gets so packed people are constantly pushing into you while you eat.
