Chez Gerard reviews?

 : Has anyone been to Chez Gerard in Hopwood (Route 40 near Uniontown)?
 : I'd appreciate any reviews.

 I was there for Sunday Brunch a ncouple of weeks ago, and was not
 impressed.  I had a black bean soup appetizer that is claimed to
 be a house specialty that I swear was just the stuff I get out of a can
 and put on burritos at home - no intersting spice, garnish - nothing.
 In addition, the soup was barely warm; a problem that recurred with other
 dishes throughout the meal.
       The ommlettes and savoury crepes my partner and I ordered for
 our entrees were barely adequate, unflavorful, and almost cold by the time
 we got them.
       The dessert crepe I had was pretty good but at that point it was a
 case of too little too late.
       The service was not great but particualrly aggravating was the table
 setting.  We were seated outside in a passably nice garden, but the table's
 paint was peeling and the placemats (very necessary) that we were given
 were genuinely ratty cloth items.  This is incomprehensible given the
 aspiriation of the restaurant to provide you with a ritzy experience, e.g.,
 the French waiters are in formal black and whites, bow-ties, etc...
       On the "bizarre, redeeming" features side, the woman who is the
 proprietor swans around to an amzing degree.  As the legend of the restaurant
 goes (which is repoduced for your benefit on the menu-backs, if I remember
 rightly) she was a bigshot model in NYC, and met her co-proprietor French hus-
 band, Gerard, while modelling in Paris!  Well - she looks a heck of a lot like
 Sharon Stone, and has *exactly* the manner and facial twitchiness of Ms Stone
 (as she appears on talk shows).
 So perhaps there is some sort of pleasure to be had there!
       In conclusion, I'm prepared to believe that we struck Chez gerard on
 a bad day, or that their brunch is to be avoided but that their other meals
 are very good.  But I won't waste the time and money to find this out.  It was
 a major disappointment.  I'd definitely recommend brunch at either Linda
 Ianotta's gallery (for about half the price!) or Victoria Hall (for a little
 more money) over brunch at Chez Gerard.
