Restaurant Le Vesuvio - Cannes — Restaurant in Grasse

Some filmmakers and I tried this restaurant due to its convenience to Cannes Film Festival events. Let's start with the positives: Wait staff is friendly as is expected from a tourist restaurant. The prices are high, but fair considering they are on the desirable Croisette. The linguini dishes are good, especially the clam and sea food editions. The house white and red are decent. The ambiance is okay.

For the negatives: The Caesar salad with chicken is definitely the worst in the universe as the chicken must have been deep fried in the same old cooking oil used for fries. The other ingredients in this Caesar were lettuce and Roma tomatoes; no dressing at all so the greasy fried chicken taste permeated and nauseated. The tiramisu had berries and some type of red sweet sauce on top.

I would have given a higher rating if the management offered to replace the nauseating mostly un-eaten salad, or at least remove it from the bill, or at least comp the alien Tiramisu, or at least make a tiny, minuscule effort to make a paying customer remotely happy. Thus, in the absence of any customer care or concern, I leave a generous...

Visited this place for dinner, guy next to me was smoking hookah (shisha / chicha). I was surprised as it was not mentioned in the menu, asked the manager if they have hookah menu with options and prices. He didn't provide anything but just asked which flavour I want, so I ordered something random. Hookah was average, but when I saw the bill I was shocked. 100€ for hookah!! One hundred euro, exactly. I smoked hookah in many countries and average price is 10-20€. Asked the waiter and manager if this is a mistake and got the following answer: this is Cannes, such prices are everywhere, you have to pay. I also asked to show me the menu where this price is mentioned but nothing was provided.

1. Official website doesn't mention hookah or any price.
2. I checked 5 other places in Cannes, average hookah price is 20€ and you normally get soft drink on top...

I plan to report this case to police later this week. Don't care about the money, but want to stop this behavior and force them to show/tell the...

The first thing they tell you is their minimum spend. The first thing I asked in return it what they have to offer. The maitre dee turned his back and walked away. This is called: 'Knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing' I am overjoyed not to have eaten here with such awful types.

RESPONSE TO RESPONSE:- How dare you respond by explaining to me.what a minimum spend policy is? How snotty. How condescending. This isnt casual rudness, this is a deliberate tactic to SHUT YOUR CUSTOMERS DOWN. You just tried it a second time. Wow. Snide social warfare instead of service. The message was already clear: 'If youre not submissive enough then forget it'. So why the hypocrisy of inviting us back? Other reviews question your poor food. I am questioning why anyone would want to pay to have your fabricated status anxiety forced down their throat. Seriously. The staff member was tall, handsome, dark skinned with loose black curls. Male. Approx 30. But - clearly - the problem...
