Thanks Balzac's for being the only coffee shop that I've ever been to that recognizes people's allergies to soy and also recognizes that not everyone likes or c...

"Went for by husband’s birthday. So many things went wrong. My beef ribs were so fat, sent back and they said they was substandard. Husband was told he could substitute a salad for potatoes but was charged extra for salad and got no potatoes. He was given dessert menu to choose free treat for his birthday. He got charged for it in the bill. Refunds were SO confusing, we don’t know what we ended up paying…just wanted to get out of there! Never had so much go wrong at the Charcoal"

"I really wish this didn't happen, but during dinner rush the cook went on his iPhone (before restaurants customers) and stayed there for a few minutes. After completion, he took a handful of noodles and threw them into the pot of boiling water. Then he went back to the cutting board. No hand wash. I won't go back with this serious look. It is an unavoidable supervision when handling food. Hygiene is paramount."
