I’m not into slamming restaurants–it took me a week before I finally decided to write this. Last Thursday five of us went to Mirepoix for dinner. I ordered the prix fixe dinner and the server delivered an entree that had to embarrass her. On a large plate sat a sliver of salmon, one-half inch wide, one-half inch high, and two inches long! A couple of cooked spinach leaves sat next to it, and an eggplant puree next to that. Ninety-five percent of the plate had nothing on it! Believe me, I have not exaggerated the dimensions of that piece of salmon. That was the tiniest entree I have ever been presented in a restaurant anywhere (and I’m pretty widely traveled). It would not have been appropriate even as an appetizer. I said nothing; my companions were aghast (their entrees portions were normal-sized). But I won’t be returning to Mirepoix. Any restaurant that has the nerve to serve a mini-bite as an entree won’t be getting my trade.

What’s over-priced is paying anything for that crap.

I’m sure everyone knows by now but…in the Windsor Times it reports that Mirepoix is opening a Bistro(6-8 weeks called Bistro M) in the Langley’s space for lunch and dinner and Mirepoix will keep their little place for upscale dinners only. Langely will stay in the pizza business.

Personally, I’ve never liked Langley’s except for the cocktails. The food has been overpriced and bland. But….I DO like their other restaurant if only one thing, improve the service! Also, will they now be able to have a full bar instead of beer and wine? My kids adore making their own pizzas and you can’t beat kids eat free Tues and Thurs! Can’t wait to see the improvements now that this will be the only focus.

I love Mireoix, it will be nice to sit at a table that is not over crowded! Sorry to see Langley’s go, but really, their prices were way too expensive! Good luck to all!

food used to be really good. New chef, food went downhill fast, small portion did not help either.

It would nice to see a Outback or Cattlemens etc instead of another overpriced yuppie type place.

While Fred and his family were hardworking and earnest, perhaps it was because food was, well, just not very good, high priced, and a little overwrought for the area. We certainly wish them well.
