A bouquet for Brasserie l'Ecole Restaurant

Tim and Bronwen treated us to dinner at Brasserie l"Ecole last night to celebrate Bronwen's research grants and to thank Jim for his help. Thanks very much!

We waited about an hour for our steaks to arrive and were having a good time chatting but then did begin to wonder if they had forgotten us. Just as we mentioned something our meals arrived. We hadn't really made a complaint but one of staff came to the table and apologized for the wait and handed each couple a $50 gift certificate for the restaurant. Wow...we were impressed! Certainly way beyond expectations and I think businesses never lose when they do that because of all the positive word of mouth they receive.

Great to get a free dinner when you're getting a free dinner! We got a free flight once when we were already on a free flight...you gotta love that.

So, give Brasserie l'Ecole a try.
