We had a bad experience here. We walked in after a long day hoping to get dinner. Even before we sat down our server walked up to one of my friends and told her they had very little vegetarian food. That was probably because we’re all ethnically Indian and he made the assumption we’d eat vegetarian food. Racial assumptions aside it was weird that it was the first thing he thought to say to us. No greeting or anything. One of my friends who went to use the restroom also pointed out that the place was filthy and had no soap to wash hands with!

Anyway we decided what to order and started to tell our server the order when he showed up again. He seemed impatient, then said something to us walked away in the middle of taking the order. We waited another 10 minutes for him to come back while he chatted with other guests and generally worked around the restaurant. When he didn’t come back we decided to leave thinking the restaurant was busy and we weren’t getting enough attention.

Our server came up to my friend at the door and told her that the partial order was in the kitchen and showed her the ticket. He seemed agitated so I decided to step in either sit down or offer to pay and leave. He seemed to get agitated (I honestly don’t know why) and started to point fingers. At this point another person who seemed like a manager stepped in and my wife said that perhaps we could get another server. Weirdly, both the manager and the server seemed hell bent on escalating the situation. We had kids with us so I asked everyone to step out and again offered to pay and leave. This just seemed to set them off more and things descended to name calling. The server told me to “go to McDonald’s” and “go back where you came from”. Clearly this person understood enough English to drop slurs at me so it wasn’t entirely a language issue as I’d been thinking so far.

If you’re a person of color or someone who values their dignity I’d strongly recommend staying away from this place. Our experience was almost enough to put us off Paris and it’s wonderful denizens entirely. We were saved by Le Chat Noir down the street where the service, food, and sanitation standards were excellent.
