PLB's ingredients are higher quality and the portions are smaller. To me, it's not a fault of the restaurant; it's a choice they've made inside of the larger choice to focus on food ingredient quality, prep and cooking. I love their coffee, too. Many Americans have become accustomed to Starbucks' definition of coffee (blech!) and think strong flavor = good. I love dark roasts myself, and found the cafe au lait at PLB one of the best I'd ever had. As their very friendly (and knowledgable) barista explained, it's all in the quality of the milk. <br /> Jessie Newburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464441397649143045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456632305312289687.post-54428948485196819512014-04-23T10:09:04.563-07:002014-04-23T10:09:04.563-07:00When I went, there were so many screaming kids in ...When I went, there were so many screaming kids in there, it was like a super noisy Panera Bread.

Since this is a French style bistro, maybe that explains the small portions?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894730213057577304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456632305312289687.post-25816155565501629682014-03-30T08:19:06.857-07:002014-03-30T08:19:06.857-07:00Thanks for the nice compliments and for taking the...Thanks for the nice compliments and for taking the time to post a comment. The Bare Midriff - that's a good point. The staff might have had a bad day - it happens. So, we'll go back again. It's really cool that we have a new follower (welcome Anonymous). We think Food 52 is awesome. We'll check out "Cooking with Mr. C".
