Aubergine — Restaurant in Nîmes

The food here was amazing. I got the burger and it was a nice refreshing burger that was pretty American. My husband got the porc ribs with mashed potatoes and it was very delicious. The drinks were good too. The atmosphere was more on the warmer side, probably not super kid friendly (if anyone needs to know).

When we first went in the first girl was pretty rude. She made us wait 5 minutes while staring at us. And then finally asked why we were there. I said to eat and she said that we couldn't eat until 7 (for about 10 minutes). No biggie, but she was just pretty rude about it all.

The second time we went, we waited for over half an hour for service and ordered the same dish because the chef refused to modify any of the other menu items. The veggie burger arrived cold with a tiny piece of aubergine to represent the "burger". Inedible...sad but I will have to blog about my experience for other potential diners benefit.
