La Galette French Bakery — Restaurant in Wichita

I stopped by there today with my mom, who was between medical tests and had time about 1:30 today for lunch. Their special, which was basically a grilled chicken alfredo penne, but called a different name had a good flavor but was swimming in olive oil. My mom had wanted to go someplace where they served fattoush salad and we were happy that they had it on their menu but extremely disappointed with the 98% green lettuce, two bites of tomato and a few pieces of toasted pita dressed heavily in a very mildly tasting viniagrette. Maybe they were out of the other vegetables that normally make up a tasty salad or trying too hard to keep their food costs down......but the salad had so little flavor, it was basically tasteless and a long cry from any fattoush salad I've had anywhere else. We paid $25 for the alfredo dinner with the salad plus the salad and cup of cream of potato soup that my mom ordered. And I don't know where they get their potato soup.....a can.....or just powdered potato flakes in some light broth.....but there was nothing substantial here either. I had iced tea and my mom drank iced water.........HIGHLY OVERPRICED. And I seriously doubt that the people running the restaurant today could be the same people that ran the restaurant years ago when I occasionally had the chance to dine there.....these people appeared to be Middle Eastern, not french.....their menu had also changed to include middle eastern food of Kibbe with Fattoush and Tabbouli. If their fattoush salad was so sparse, I can't imagine what this dish would be...... It seems middle eastern people are buying into these restaurants that say European cuisine and change the quality of the food. They should've been required to change the name of the restaurant to reflect new ownership and the change...

I've lived in Delano for 6 years now and this was the first time I'd ever visited La Galette. I was in line looking at the dessert selection while the ladies ahead of me were getting their desserts and paying their bill. A younger gentlemen came from the back and let me know he could help when I was ready and I let him know it was my first time in so I was browsing and may have some questions. As I moved closer to the front of the line he said again he could help me. This time in a rather annoyed tone. As the ladies left they mentioned to him to let his parents know they stopped in. At this point I realize he's the son of the owner. As I'm asking about the items in the case he is very short with the answers and not wanting to help whatsoever. Then an employee, an older lady, came from the back. He immediately starts completely chewing her out in front of me and the entire restaurant for not being up there while they were "slammed with customers". I was floored. I understand having a talk to an employee behind closed doors, but in front of everyone was extremely uncalled for and very degrading. I almost walked out but I decided to proceed with my purchases. The baked goods were excellent. If the owners son is willing to treat me with disrespect due to him being upset at an employee who was in the back doing silverware instead of helping customers, and chews her out in front of everyone, I don't know that I want to take my entire family there for them to see exactly how not to treat a woman, employee or human being, especially in front of the patrons of...

I ordered a chicken salad on a croissant with a small cup of cream of potato soup. I paid about 13 for this. I had planned on buying a quiche, but when I found out they were 9 each, I felt dissuaded. I felt that all the luncheon food was extremely over priced, though the deserts seemed to be priced appropriately. This bakery touts itself as a french bakery, and indeed the owner appears to be French, but I've been to a french bakery in Palo Alto CA right across from Stanford University and when comparing the food and prices, the one in Palo Alto comes up cheaper. I'm not sure how that can be considering Wichita rents are cheaper than those in the bay area, but I can get a delicious quiche cooked in crispy philo crust for about 4 bucks in Palo Alto, so when compared to their kind of soggy looking quiche that was twice as expensive but the same size in Wichita.. I just had to shake my head in dismay. The chicken salad was tasty enough, a pesto mayo blended with celery and chicken cubes and the croissant was 'ok' though tasted a little stale and not very buttery. I think this place needs to rethink their cost of plating sandwiches/cups of soup, plus...
