Anna Cannes — Restaurant in Grasse

I'm disappointed after yet another visit to a so-called boutique restaurant. The prices are steep, and they make you feel rushed to finish your meal within 1 to 1.5 hours so they can turn over more tables. The atmosphere feels more like a high-pressure sales environment than a relaxing dining experience. With over six staff members hovering near the entrance, it feels more like being watched by overly cheerful security guards. Their constant presence around the table doesn’t create a relaxed ambiance—instead, it feels like they're subtly pushing you to either keep ordering or leave.

When we finished eating, the staff member already had the check in hand, ready to hand it over before we even asked. It felt like they were really pushing us to leave. There was no sense that they wanted us to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Another annoying tactic was how the staff would start chatting near our table as we were finishing our last course, practically surrounding us. It felt like a subtle hint to hurry up and go, rather than letting us savor the moment.

The food was decent, but it was overshadowed by the rushed and uncomfortable dining experience. Even if the dishes were well-prepared, it was hard to fully enjoy them when we felt pressured to finish quickly and leave. The atmosphere didn't allow us to truly appreciate the meal.

If you’re looking for a more enjoyable dining experience, I'd recommend seeking out restaurants that are known for their relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Look for places that emphasize customer comfort, where you can take your time with your meal without feeling rushed. Smaller, family-run establishments or restaurants that promote leisurely dining might offer a more pleasant experience. Checking reviews beforehand can also help you find a spot where the service is as good...

Our visit last week was horrible. After being seated and ready to order, we were asked to move to another table without a valid reason, they wanting to move us to the corner next to the kitchen to "hide us." Also, the table they wanted to move us to was for 4, and we were 5! Shockingly, this mistreatment seems to be a recurring issue based on other reviews.

As frequent visitors to the south of france, we've dined here multiple times during the winter months since we avoid La Croisette during the summer (the only exception is LPM because of their good food and service, even though LPM and anna are under the same restaurant umbrella but vastly different in management and food quality). While past experiences were not perfect in anna, we always give the benefit of the doubt. However, this time, it became evident that the restaurant discriminates, showing a clear preference for seating that segregates certain customers. This incident has irreparably damaged our perception. We left the restaurant, we refuse to tolerate such discriminatory service.

We even took the time to email our feedback, but disappointingly, there has been no response. It appears they don't care about their customers, mirroring the disappointing treatment we experienced.

Save yourself the disappointment, avoid this establishment. There are numerous dining options that appreciate and respect...

I would say that this is a very expensive experience especially in summer time, prices multiplied *3-4 times, be ready to spent 150-200€€ per person. Per example pasta with truffle 95€, lobster 165€ I would say. We were 3 of us a couple of weeks ago (04.08.2024), early August, were having a dinner. So I went for a traditional Greak pasta with fishes & seefood (64€). The pasta seemed to me fat and oily, I I did 3 approaches to taste and on the 3rd I got something hard in my mouth, imagine, it was the fish bone… I asked for the manager showed him this bone, unfortunately I didn’t do the pictures, the manager apologised, said that this dish will not be included in the bill and took away my pasta. Then we went for the desserts and as for the bill… They put my pasta in this bill finally, 1 bottle of wine more (we had 1 they put 2) and put 1 more salad which we didn’t have of course. They changed the bill 3 times!!! They refused to remove this pasta with a bone from our bill (made 50% discount), the manager said that it’s normal to have a bones in a seafood pasta!!! I don’t think so! Dear team of Anna's restaurant I wish you to educate yours employees be gentle and smart. Next time someone will be less lucky with a bones in the mouth and more smart to put you in a...
