Ohh La La! According to my French dictionary, brasserie means brewery, restaurant or lunchroom. Can Can Brasserie isn't a brewery (nor are there any high-kicking dancers, in case you were wondering), but it is just about everything else food- and beverage-related you can imagine - a restaurant, raw bar, patisserie, boulangerie, coffeehouse, breakfast spot and late-night bar destination.

If I was going to sum it up with one thought, I would call the food at Can Can a "Ruby Tuesday" version of French cuisine. I was satisfied and content with the food, but I was certainly not blown away by it. As a newfound "foodie" I was excited about eating at Can Can but in the end I was somewhat disappointed. Although, I have to agree with other reviews that the hostess staff was a little pretentious. I also overheard them gawk and sneer some of the people outside of the restaurant. My server was a great young man named John. I peered over the menu and could not decide on the wild boar or the braised lamb. After talking it over with John, I decided on the wild boar and added the beef tartar as an appetizer. The appetizer came out of the kitchen quickly, which surprised me, but heck it was raw beef! It was well prepared and presented in a mound with herbed crostini. My only complaint being the shallots overpowered the beef taste and it was best without the crostini. Next, the wild boar was also presented plainly on a bed of vegetables; I paired it with a glass of Syrah. The first few bites were juicy, but there were portions of the boar that were firm and tough to cut/chew. The flavor of the boar was a little gamey and I happily expected it to be. Although, the flavors were not an excitement of the palate, they were presented plainly for the American taste. After the two courses I was pleasantly full and decided to continue my adventure with dessert. After talking it over with John I decided on the chocolate souffle. The presentation was simple, yet plain. I would typically appreciate that type of presentation, but not when the flavors are simple too. The souffle was tasteful and it was accompanied with ice cream. The ice cream was placed atop a chocolate cookie that was very hard and tough to cut. I assumed the melting ice cream would soften the cookie, but it never came to that. I gave it four stars for its average American-French taste. THANKS JOHN!!

My husband and I used to come here every Sunday for lunch but we had to stop because the experience turned out to be too much of an aggravation. It's too bad because we love the food...the frites, the chicken crepes, the croque madame... Unfortunately, the host staff is extremely rude and act like they are doing you a favor by even looking at you when you walk in the door. Once we were seated close to the desk and overheard the hostesses making insulting remarks about other customers. Honestly, for the price I expect to be treated pleasantly and with respect.

I too am puzzled to see negative reviews for this restaurant. I've been twice so far - January and October 2007. The first time was frankly one of the best dining experiences ever, thanks mainly to the excellent food, but also to the waiter, a young man in his early twenties who fulfilled the three main requirements of any server: (a) he knew about everything on the menu (b) he managed to convey the impression that we had his undivided attention without crowding us and (c) combined humour with good manners and professionalism. And when I thanked him for helping us to have a really nice evening, he accepted gracefully and was clearly pleased to have helped us. But back to the food. It was excellent - one of those meals you just don't want to end. Shrimp starter and sea bass entree if I recall. Just delicious. And the chocolate mousse was delicious too. The atmosphere is very - well, atmospheric, due to the dramatic lighting and high ceiling. I went again on the strength of that first experience, and even though they'd taken the sea bass off the menu, it was just as good (not such a great evening for me personally because I was alone, however). I'd recommend it - in fact I'm just going there again right now (March 08)

Having enjoyed Can Can five times now, I can only say Wow! I live in Seattle and would gladly export a Can Can back home with me. It doesn't matter if it's breakfast (wonderful Croque Madame, especially the presentaiton with the egg on top), lunch with either a soup or salad or the dinner selections which always include a fish I am pleased with. The quality and service have always been tip top. Besides the food, the wine and beer selection is excellent as is the ambiance.

I was surprised to see all the negative reviews of Can Can here, because my experiences at Can Can have been positive. My first experience at Can Can was for dinner early in 2007: the food was enjoyable, and our waiter was fine, if a little on the stuffy side. I have since then dined numerous times for lunch and have yet to experience a server who was anything but friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. All of these meals were with a variety of servers from May - December of 2007. My food has always been enjoyable, other than one mishap with an egg creme soda(something was not quite right, and they brought a new one immediately which was fine), and I say this as someone with experience in cooking much of the French food on Can Can's menu. That said, do not expect to find all the wonderful bits of French Brasserie cuisine here; the menu has been watered down to those items the American palate will find appealing. Disappointing for foodies, but commercially viable. The prices at Can Can are to be expected. I would not go there myself for dinner, as anyone with some skill in the kitchen could cook twice as much food for half the price in the case of much of the menu; their $22 Onglet is such an example. Can Can's lunches are fairly priced though, and well worth the cost for an enjoyable meal in a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is recommended, and despite my positive experiences with Can Can's servers, I am not attempting to say the other reviews are inaccurate, I only hope they were one time events for the sake of the restaurant.
