We went to this restaurant after a matinee. We were seated immediately, the entire staff was so courteous and friendly. Our dinner came at a good interval, everything was delicious. One person's fish was slightly undercooked but all the other meals were perfect. Our waiter went above and beyond, making the entire experience very inviting. We will definitely return.

The sunday brunch menu features two courses and a mimosa which the menu clearly states includes champagne. when i inquired as to the champagne they were using i was told it was sparkling wine. when i pointed out the menu clearly states champagne is used i was rudely offered orange juice or coffee instead. come on guys...you are a french restaurant. champagne is champagne. anything else isnt. bad experience. bad service. but a decent mushroom soup.

This place has been open for what, a year this easter? It felt like it was the opening night, two waiters instead of one on our section, confusing and sloppy and they mixed up our drinks. We had a drafty table by the window and my wife wanted to swap tables after the appetisers. You'd think we'd asked the whole team to strip-off and roll on hot-coals. Was less than impressed with the carpaccio, it seemed tired. And how can somewhere as big as that send out stone cold food. The allumettes fries, I don't know why I always order them if they're on a menu, its like a gallon of oil and one potatoe. I'm glad we've got it out of the way as we won't have to go back there now to satisfy our curiousity.

I went to brasserie cognac on Wednesday with my wife and had the special spinach venison lasagna ...great dish !!! Plus the service ....bravo mario!!! Thank you !!

I read some of the other reviews and I don't understand where people are coming from. With exception of the maitre' d who clearly has attitude, the rest of the staff and food is spot on. The wait staff was not intrusive but attentive when requested, we were allowed to eat, order, talk at our own pace without being harried and the food was done to perfection. What more can you ask for in a restaurant? As with the person suggesting Ducasse, are you serious? An app at ducasse is the cost of an entree here. Two very different restaurants. Perhaps one should take their pretensions elsewhere.

I stopped into Cognac for a quick drink after work with a girlfriend. I specifically asked about the buy-one-get-one-free happy hour drink specials going on (may as well save some money in this difficult economic environment) and we both selected a glass of wine. We had to leave after one drink but got the bill with both wines charged. When I asked to speak with the manager, he finally came over and acted like he was doing me a huge favor by honoring the specials that were advertised. Unpleasant and nasty words were exchanged (guess the customer is not always right) and I will forever remember this place as the poorest service experience I have ever encountered.

I honestly don't know where to start. Cold soup, wrong orders, no floor manager to be seen, wobbly table, absent drinks after having ordered twice. I am amazed this place is so big yet manages to stay in business, how can somewhere with so much capital invested get everything so wrong? Try the Ducasse two blocks down.
