Our group gave Annabelle a 7.8/10. The total came to about $147, and while we enjoyed parts of the experience, it felt like the atmosphere outshined the food.
The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s one of the most Instagram-worthy spots we’ve visited, and it seemed like every table was filled with people taking photos and enjoying the aesthetic. If you’re looking for a gorgeous brunch spot, Annabelle definitely delivers.
We started with the pastry basket, which was very good. At around $24 for the basket, it worked out to nearly $5 per pastry, which felt a little pricey, but we still enjoyed it.
My husband ordered the raclette cheese service with prosciutto and bread. The tableside presentation was fun, and what really stood out was a bell pepper and tomato oil mixture served alongside it—it was packed with flavor and ended up being one of our favorite bites of the meal. Unfortunately, neither the prosciutto nor the other cured meats impressed anyone at the table. For a restaurant that seems to place so much emphasis on bread and European-inspired offerings, we expected much better quality from those components.
Our friend ordered the croque monsieur, and it was one of the biggest disappointments of the meal. It was bland, forgettable, and simply not worth the price. When you’re charging premium prices, the food should leave an impression, and this dish completely missed the mark.
The coffee was okay, nothing remarkable.
My daughter chose the Nutella banana crepe. Unfortunately, the crepe was also a miss for us. The bananas tasted dehydrated, and their flavor completely overpowered the rest of the dish. She couldn’t finish it.
Service was excellent throughout the meal. The staff was attentive, friendly, and one of the strongest parts of the experience.
Overall, Annabelle is a beautiful place with great service and a few standout items, but the food didn’t quite live up to the hype for us. We enjoyed the visit, but it’s not somewhere we’d go out of our way to return to. The atmosphere is memorable; the food, unfortunately, wasn’t.
