Dinner offerings can fail even at the simplest level. Beef Wellington was perfectly cooked, but its sauce was, again, cloying and rather salty. Baby rack of lamb, though, is fabulous every time. The soup of the day on a 102-degree evening was a warm vichyssoise. I can't attest to its success or failure because I couldn't order it - it seemed wholly out of place.
Service here is formal and sometimes painfully slow.
One night, after we were seated and served cocktails, the waiter didn't return to offer menus for 20 minutes. Appetizers came out a half hour later. Le Rendez-Vous is an intimate space which might offer diners a little quietude and luxury. But, aside from a few good dishes, it's too wrapped up in appearances to offer genuine sustenance.
