He said that the issue of taking over Serafino's location was one of parking and he was wondering if it would do well enough in that location. <br /><br />Hopefully he'll do it. I drive to Catonsville to eat at Chef P's enough and it would definitely be closer in EC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-70212838709794740902014-03-10T19:17:16.147-04:002014-03-10T19:17:16.147-04:00Checked out Petit Louis comptoir over the weekend....Checked out Petit Louis comptoir over the weekend. The French Press coffee was novel (it's worth it just to watch the sugar fall through the timer). Tried the brioche with the banana caramel, buckwheat madeleines and the almond tart (with the candied orange). The tart was by far our favorite. <br /><br />The cafe is very cute and the staff is very helpful.s5http://www.keenonkeene.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-66515637386130585742014-02-04T08:35:56.516-05:002014-02-04T08:35:56.516-05:00Ok, general observation, with the disclaimer that ...Ok, general observation, with the disclaimer that I have not been to White Oak. But honestly, some of these restaurants need to learn that the “holier than you”, we source locally stuff does not always equate to a better product, and that it certainly doesn't equate to a more economical product which encourages diners.

We went with group Friday with understanding that it would probably be crowded and there would be some growing pains.

Food was pretty good, but there was a guy working the counter who fancied himself the Italian version of the soup nazi. And the food certainly isn't good enough to pull that off. I stopped going, because I don't like being yelled at when I order food.
