The poorly curated menu seems basic and starkly lacks variety, offering only a monotonous range of standard café dishes.

Vibe: Harsh atmosphere, unsuitable for dates

The ambiance of the café is far from inviting, with sanitation issues making their impression in an already horrid atmosphere. Date nights here might prove an ordeal rather than a charming experience, with claustrophobic spaces and pushy customers marring the delightful vision of a cozy French cuisine-led rendezvous.

  • Bad Buzz

    Not active on social media, restaurant part has declined quite a bit.

Perks: Parking nightmare, inattentive service

The woes don't end at 'Le Croissant Dore'. Parking is a nightmare with the smallest lot and no concept of orderly parking. The outdoor seating exposes you to unwanted second-hand smoke, and the Small venue cannot host large groups comfortably, turning quickly into a crowded space. Lastly, the rude, neglectful service becomes the final blow in an already dissatisfying dining experience.

  • Bad Service

    Rude, inattentive service and sometimes neglectful experiences severely impaired dining.
