Carmine Café — Restaurant in Paris

Oh, the salmon tartare... so dreamy. Carmine Cafe is beautiful. This was our first and last dinner stop during our Paris vacation.There was unexpected comedic value when our waiter got a little snippy with my brother because, and I quote, "You tell me you're North American and you speak English, then you speak Spanish!" Apparently, you can't be a bilingual North American at Carmine Cafe, LOL. We appreciate that we got seated on two separate occasions without reservations. There aren't any bad seats at Carmine. On our second visit, my brother's burnt (black, crispy) lasagna was exchanged promptly. We were reassured that we didn't get charged for the burnt dish. LOL. Again, we had a couple of unexpected laughs there and we enjoyed the view and the food (when it wasn't burned). I want to tease them a little about that but they seemed a little overwhelmed by the dinner rush that particular evening. Would I go back? If I find myself in the 15th arrondissement again,...

I have gone to Carmilitos many times, staff has been great. But tonight we arrived at exactly 8:25 doors were locked people inside and staff standing around the counter and coffee machines. We knocked we were going to ask for something to go and when one of the girls started to come to the door the other one stopped and then the 3 egnore us. No coming to door to explain why they closed half hour early or nothing. It was rude. To egnore customers like they did. We were three people who will probably wont go back. Fyi we proceeded and went to Cafe Crystal and they had the same closing time 9pm and we were there at 8:45 and they served us np and allowed us to sit inside. There was no feeling of being rushed. When we offered to take it to go they said no dont worry about it please sit and enjoy your tea and coffees and deserts. We did and left at 9;05 I call that Good...

Initially a positive experience - polite waiter and varied menu. However, they got our order wrong (added mushrooms to a pizza and added egg insead of mushrooms to a galette). We didn't want to cause a fuss or massively delay our dinner so said we would just put up with the errors. However, on receiving the bill we discovered they'd actually charged for the incorrectly added item and had the audacity to refuse to remove it. This is despite the fact we didn't send back the incorrect pizza and galette, which would have cost them significantly more than the wasted item they incorrectly added. They were rude and borderline aggressive when I asked them to take off the item - sadly, a place in a tourist hotspot clearly feels no need to provide decent customer service. Would strongly recommend you avoid unless you enjoy receiving the wrong orders, being ripped off and...
