Folie - Lafayette

We went early, great service and eat. all the others were in the bar so we could eat alone. they made us a paper rose (our jubilee).

The beverages are very enjoyable. The food is delicious. However, the service was abysmal. We waited an hour just to receive a drink, and our server never came to check on us. When we decided to order a bottle of wine, thinking it would be faster than a cocktail, it still took an exceptionally long time. Ultimately, we were very disappointed with our first visit to this restaurant.

The restaurant has a sterile environment which is noisy in a large room. Chairs are lined up like a diner. We had a good salad and shrimp as an appetizer. Quite nice. As a main course we had rack of lamb and jumbo scallops. The lamb had a good flavor but the overall portion was very small for a $45 dish. The jumbo scallops appeared to be sliced in half and were watery and not very tasty. Also this portion was quite small for a $35 dish. Overall the experience was just blah for a $159 dinner for 2. We will not go back. There are better tasting and better value restaurants.

This was our first experience at Folie and on a night when freezing rain likely restricted the number of diners. We were met with attentive staff and quickly seated. Wait staff including a trainee were knowledgeable about the menu. Our cocktails, appetizer and entrees were excellent and extremely well prepared. Menu had a nice selection. We will definitely be back again.

Mario and Corey are perfect host, and the food is perfect as well.
