text: I have been to the new La Brioche several times about half to dine in and half for take out The food is uniformly good and I have especially enjoyed their organic burger roasted red pepper omelet and a special one day shitakisake soupnnAlas if the service was half as good as the food I would be a much bigger fan The problems begin at the door during busy hours it sometimes difficult find who if anybody is seating people Once that person is found it is not clear there is any rhyme or reason to getting seated The wait staff seem nice enough but offer brusque service The head chef barks out commands heard throughout the restaurant Ironically a focus of the restaurant is ensuring the proper qi instead the place feels chaoticnnI call this the Standard Madison Dining Experience generally competent and sometimes even very good food with much less attention paid to the dining experience itself Sigh
