AWFUL SERVICE AND EXPENSIVE

I went into Jean Pierre a week ago and loved it! The food was so great and the service was phenomenal. If you ever have breakfast, lunch or dinner at Jean Pierre ask for Lindsay. My husband and I had the best meal of our entire vacation.

Just had lunch here. Soggy, flavorless quiche and a very mediocre ham sandwich, really disappointed. The last time we ate here the food was delicious. This place is expensive, which is fine if the food is wonderful, not fine with the sub-standard fare we were served today.

I waited 10 minutes for someone to seat my party. Apparently the waiter is the host and possibly the cook. Service was slow, had to ask for silverware 3 times, and the food was cold. I asked them to reheat it and they did by microwave By the time I got it back it was cold again and the bread was rock hard. Overpriced. My mother is French and believes that Jean Pierre has the best croissants outside of France she has ever had. They are good, but the rotten service cancels out the croissants.

Don't Waste Your Time

by Guest-RW

Let's get the positives out of the way first: The criossants are excellent - best in town by far. But, that's where the good news ends. You have to wonder about any place that doesn't post the prices of it's baked goods. Stopped in for a few small tarts one day only to be shocked at the $10 price. Bought them anyway hoping that they would be somehow that good. They weren't. Finally had breakfast there yesterday when the parents were in town. Service was poor: 4 coffee beverages, 1 spoon, 1 napkin. They forgot to make my kid's OJ. Food came and had to ask for napkins and forks. Ordered a fruit bowl which was massive but some of the food also came with fruit. Would have been nice for the server to say something. As for the food, a common theme is that it's overpriced and there's no doubt about that. If it's going to be expensive by most peoples standards, it needs to be excellent and it's not even close. French toast was sad - thin, soggy, bland. The old saying that you can make anything taste good drenched in butter syrup was proven true again. My dad ate the omlette but didn't appear to be enjoying himself. The eggs benedict wasn't bad. The hollendaise was too greasy, the dish was luke warm but it tasted OK. Bottom line: JP's has one of the best locations in town and must stay in business attracting tourists. It's vastly overpriced, quality is lacking from the food to the service. I'm a local and won't be back - ever.
