Café Saint-Ex Review

Themed after the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, French pilot and author of The Little Prince, this bilevel bar has a split personality. The upstairs brasserie has pressed-tin ceilings and a propeller hanging over the polished wooden bar. Downstairs is the Gate 54 nightclub, designed to resemble an airplane hangar, with dropped corrugated-metal ceilings and backlit aerial photographs. The DJs draw twentysomethings nightly.

    Horrible:

    I had the worst culinary experience of my life there (twice). The ambiance matches the food perfectly. Overcooked and flavorless food, spilled beer and slow service, overpriced for what it is; rowdy and drunk kids on the best nights...the most overrated place in town. Nice decor, patio, and great location are the only +s.

    My thought is that this is probably one of the relics of the dot com era...my guess is that kids with a few bucks and no knowledge of the restaurant business must own this restaurant.

    Don't go...waste of money and time!
