The food here is top quality, NYC style cuisine. Every time we come we have a delicious meal. Tge steak is always perfectly cooked, the salads have clean crisps dressings and the vegetables are nicely presented. I have two things that bug me every time. One, I wish they would improve the decor in the dining room. It is so plain and almost Russian at this point. Second, some of the servers are inexperienced and they reach across you and interrupt you to clear the table at the end...
As always, the food and service at Cafe Routier was excellent. We went to CR for my birthday and I had the steak frittes - my favorite meal at CR. The steak was cooked just right and the frittes were great. My partner had the butternut squash ravioli which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also, the wine list provides many choices for wines at all price points. Finally, the service was attentive and professional. Overall, a wonderful experience.
We have been going to Routier since it was located in Old Saybrook and always enjoyed it. Last night we did not check the menu first, and found it was Thai food month. For my appetizer I got the steak tartare, which I disliked so much I sent it back. The chef had taken a tender, expensive cut of meat and overloaded it with vinegar and/or dijon mustard, plus it seemed to have cornichon or something similar cholled in, adding more acid to it. You could not taste the meat at all....
