My family has been going here for many years and we used to love it. Unfortunately the quality has gone down dramatically over the last two or three years. Tonight was an incredibly poor experience from somewhere we used to love so much and we unfortunately will never be coming back.

We arrived at 10:05, 55 minutes before closing. The server didn't get around to taking our order until around 10:25, which is not a problem for us, but you could tell she wanted us out of there immediately. Extremely rude, brief, and gruff.

When the food came out, the server asked if we wanted anything else, to which we replied, "No thanks, we're good." Literally less than 1 minute later, we went back to the server to say we changed our mind and wanted to just add one additional cup of French onion soup. She refused, telling us that the kitchen was now closed..... soup comes out of a big holding container, they didn't even need to make it. It was obvious she just didn't want to get the soup and wanted us to leave sooner.

Finally, and by far the worst part, at 11 sharp, several of the servers started dragging the heavy wooden chairs across the floor all at the same time in an effort to make such a loud noise, so extremely loud, we couldn't even speak to one another sitting side by side. I caught the servers laughing, looking, and pointing at us while doing this, a very clear and extremely rude effort to get rid of us. If it was really that big of a deal, just ask us to leave. I don't think we've ever been treated so poorly at a restaurant in my life. The chair dragging went on for almost 10 minutes before we decided to just get the check and leave.

Gourmandise used to be a jewel in the city, now it's nothing more than a money trap. Food wasn't good, desserts are definitely not even close to French, and the service was piss poor. Sad to never be coming back, but change, I suppose, is inevitable.
