Terrible experience. Waited over 1 and a half hours for our food, and even after that time, they still didn't bring everything. They neglected to bring 4 portions of chips despite being repeatedly asked and when the 2 portions (still 2 lacking) arrived, all the main meals were finished. They brought the sauce for the chicken only after being asked. One portion of chips was removed from the bill but not the other that was missing, which was still charged within the cost of the meal it was meant to accompany. Vegetarian option was dreadful- a few sad looking vegetables and some couscous on a plate. Food ridiculously overpriced and staff overworked- simply not enough staff for the amount of customers in the restaurant. The waiting staff were polite enough but clearly stressed. It felt as though our dissatisfaction was not taken seriously by some of the waiting staff and most definitely the maĂźtre de. We were offered free coffee as compensation by one of the nicer waiting staff, but quite frankly that does not go far enough to make up for the whole uncomfortable experience. Would not recommend...
   Read moreLe Claridge; un restaurant cĂ©lĂšbre, bien desservi, Ă la forte impression. Laissez-moi vous donner la mienne. Une Ă©lĂ©gante façade couleur blanchĂątre sâĂ©lĂšve sur le fond gris de la chaussĂ©e. Ce contraste est accentuĂ© par une silhouette de jais, dont la droiture nous rappelle un manchot sur sa banquise; le voiturier. ĂlĂ©ment phare de lâĂ©tablissement, celui-ci, de son costume pingouin, nous escorte jusquâĂ lâintĂ©rieur. Une vĂ©ritable marche de lâempereur. Une fois rentrĂ©e, une ambiance chaleureuse sâoffre Ă nous. Un personnel pimpant nous accueille dans un lieu ,qui malheureusement ne lâest pas autant. Lâagencement des tables Ă©voque une brasserie conviviale pour certains, une cantine trivial pour dâautres. Enfin. Bien installĂ©, mes compagnons et moi-mĂȘme avons passĂ© commande. Durant le cours laps de temps qui nous sĂ©para du service, la mĂȘme question nous traversait tous: Quâest-ce qui justifie les prix salĂ©s de la carte ? Serait-ce les beaux tableaux, les verres et allumettes Ă leur effigie ? Ou alors les sets de table en papier et la coutellerie de chez IKEA ? Amusante gestion de fonds. Alors, une gracieuse demoiselle vint nous servir dĂ©licatement. Malheureusement les mets nâĂ©taient pas Ă son image. Nous avions la rĂ©ponse Ă notre question. Les plats intitulĂ©s « de rĂ©sistance », contrairement Ă leur noms, Ă©taient dâune triste passivitĂ©. Dans un restaurant de cet acabit nous dĂ©sirons manger bien, pas forcĂ©ment manger vite. Il nây avait tout bonnement pas de prĂ©sentation. Ce que vous avez gagnĂ© en rapiditĂ©, vous lâavez perdu en qualitĂ©. Ces retours ont pour but dâĂȘtre constructif et n'enlĂšvent rien au bon moment passĂ© chez vous, certes un peu cher payĂ©. Nous reviendrons pour lâheure du goĂ»ter en espĂ©rant dĂ©couvrir un rapport qualitĂ© prix...
   Read moreVery solid brasserie. Is relatively new. Nice looking building. Lots of tables, nicely decorated, big place, popular, so book in advance or come late. Was packed when we were there, but they have lots of experienced staff, and service was quite good and efficient. The menu is obviously brasserie, and they donŽt disappoint. We all had different starters and mains - all classics - and they were all excellent. The garnaalkroketten were huge and delicious, as was my vol-au-vent. So all in all a very nice experience. Noisy, given the crowd, but definitely...
