Chez Max — Restaurant in Auxerre

I can't comment on the food as I wasn't given a chance to order! But I'll leave a review because the arrogant presumptive staff really upset me. There is a beautiful spring evening sunset, and Chez Max has a little sandy area with seating called "la plage", which overlooks the river. I had just driven 5 hours from St Malo with my dog, so we needed some refreshment. I went in and asked for a glass of wine, being near the famous vineyards of Chablis. I was seated, menus were brought over, and I was offered a bowl of water for my dog. I said yes, had a cigarette, and after 5 mins of waiting thought I'd speed things up a bit and went in with my initial order of a glass of Chablis 1er Cru. I went back to la plage to wait, before another staff member comes outside to inform me that it is not a bar, but a restaurant. Even though I had seen they sell Chablis 1er Cru by the glass on the menu, it was not available to me, because they are a restaurant and not a bar. Well, I hadn't returned the menus when I went in with my order because I thought I would peruse them and choose what to eat while I enjoyed a glass of Chablis. Unfortunately, for them and myself, the rude and arrogant waitress (probably the manager of the place), meant my dog and I left thirsty, and hungry too. I won't go back to try their food, and leave this 1* review (which is a first for me) because it is literally the rudest service I have ever...

We were unable to get into our first choice so we ended up at Chez Max and boy were we glad we did! We both ordered the entre and plat. We both enjoyed the foie gras (cold) with homemade fruit chutney and accompanying toasts as our entre. The slabs of foie were huge and a great valie at supp 6€. For our plats, my husband ordered the boeuf bourgignon. It came in a cocotte and was enough for 3 servings. The beef melted in your mouth it was so tender and the red wine sauce was wonderful. I ordered the vegetarian plat of buckwheat pasta and vegetables gratineed. Excellent and a relief from all the meat on French menus. Service was prompt and friendly -they even cheerfully boxed up the leftover boeuf to take away. Prices were very reasonable. Highest...
