I've eaten here several times, never been disappointed. May I suggest the chocolate bomb for 4th course. It's...YUM. :)

OK. I'm confused. When I made my reservation last week, the hostess told me they were participating in the 4th course Central Market promotion. So, does anyone know if they're offering the optional second course without the coupon for the $7 charge? Or, are they not doing the Central Market promotion?

Kristine: My contact at KRLD says Second Floor was asked not to accept them since it joined after the certificates were printed. I've left messages with Scott and Gina at Second Floor, and when I get the official word from them, I'll leave another comment to let you know what they said.

Kristine: Scott Gottlich says Second Floor will be accepting the Central Market Fourth Course certificates.

Kristine: One more update! Thanks to KRLD, Second Floor will not accept the fourth course cards. The fourth course will be available, but it will cost $7.

Shannon, Don't know if you'll see this. But, thanks for all the updates!
And, all I have to say is that's just great - not! The whole reason I called 2nd Floor is because I couldn't get into Bijoux on a weekend. The host at Bijoux recommended 2nd Floor and told me that it would be accepting the coupon.
Then, the hostess I spoke to at 2nd Floor when I made the reservation confirmed that. I had coupons to spare, so I was specifically seeking a restaurant that was taking them that I wanted to go to. So, I'll probably be reconsidering my reservation now.
How did KRLD screw that up?

Kristine - are you really that upset at missing out on the fried pork belly?
You are being very rude about the whole thing.

Shannon S.and or friendly person?!: Hi, seem like you know your restaurants. Would you recommend trying to get into Bijoux, or just trying out for Second Floor. The Restaurant wk offered course from Bijoux doesn't look too tasty for me. Or maybe I don't know my French food. It's my boyfriend's 35th bday and I want to take him out to a really nice place and it happened I can do that for a fraction of the cost on Restaurant week. (i'm so lucky) I missed his bday last year due to out of state project, therefore really want to WOE him this year for his bday. Thank you for any suggestions!!!

Stephanie,
I'm assuming you've never had fried pork belly. Bourdain doesn't call it a magical animal for nothing!

We are big fans of Bijoux so we did the Second Floor for Brunch last Sunday. In a nut shell the food was wonderful but the service left plenty to be desired. When we arrived there was only two other tables in the dining room and no service staff to be seen, clearly the word has not gotten out, thank goodness. After a while a friendly waiter emerged to seat us. Our waiter while friendly had no knowledge of the menu and kindly explained this by letting us know he usually worked breakfast. The hubby tried the pork confit sandwhich that can only be described as delectable and I recieved a tasty salad with a moist grilled flavorful chicken over a bed of mixed baby greens....not what I ordered..but since the waiter could not be found I enjoyed it anyway. On a side note I also give the Blood Orange Martini two thumbs up!
