Artisanal restaurant review

It's time for another restaurant review - Artisanal in Bravern.
The other day I was invited by friends to one of the new restaurants recently opened in Bravern, downtown Bellevue. The restaurant's name is Artisanal and it is said to be one of the best French restaurants in the area, mostly due to its chef - Terrance Brennan.
The location is very easy to reach, pretty much you have to drive to downtown Bellevue and go to the Bravern. The restaurant could be seen from the street.
The general impression entering the restaurant was one of a “still in construction” places, even though nothing actually looked like is building over there. I’ve got a feeling of an unfinished setting, of something missing there, but I can’t really point out what. An Asian person would probably say ‘this place is missing Feng Shui – no harmony’.
After we got to the table I ordered the Prix Fixe Artisanale which consisted of tarte flambee, chicken cooked under a brick and chocolate mousse artisanale. I also tasted from my friends’ mushroom soup, lamb and crème flan.
The food was not bad, nothing spectacular though. The chicken was very tasty and you could tell it was naturally fed, crispy skin was cooked perfectly, the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, I expected more of a French flavor out of it, as in herbs de province etc. The Tart flambee was tasty but a little salty, so was the soup. For dessert, chocolate mousse that had the perfect texture but was made with dark chocolate and that made me dislike it. Actually one thing that bothered me was that the dark chocolate was not mentioned in the menu, and that was misleading.
The service.
Cold atmosphere (I expected some French music in the background at least), inhospitable service - too rigid in the sense that the waiters seemed very stressed while serving, and they conveyed the same feeling to the patrons as well. The food had nothing special ... except the price which was expensive for what was offered. In conclusion for a single visit is ok but I wouldn’t consider going for a second time.
