Colvert — Restaurant in Paris

The food is exceptional, the service is a travesty. We had 9:30pm reservation within minutes of being seated we were asked to order our entire meal before being offered any drinks. We obliged and ordered cocktails as well and asked to order wine. After ordering wine the cocktails and the first course arrived. At the end of the first course, our wine was served ... the main came as soon as the entree was cleared. Then we waited an hour for dessert. A further 30min later the staff were drinking and texting on their phones and we had to walk up to ask for the bill. Very good food but the evening was ruined by very poor service. The guinea fowl is also not a good dish, everything else is fantastic.

UPDATE: we arrived 8 minutes late, which, according to the owner, was the cause of terrible service from beginning to end. After waiting for a very long time for any follow up service we walked to the desk, waited while the server continued to look at her text messages and when we stated it was rude and the service was nothing like we expected we were dismissed with curt French. We most certainly stated we would express our dissatisdsction in a review and tell American Express Centurion who had booked our reservationnot to recommendit in future, we were laughed at and again addressed in arrogant French statements. It is a great shame that such delicious food is easily ruined by awful service.

Avoid this restaurant, at all costs. The portions are snack size; vegetables: a leaf, or an insubstantial mousse; and the chef dictates how you should eat your food, insisting on undercooking everything (pink), even fowl. The mains arrived luke-warm after all the insistence on the way the four tiny one inch fingers of steak would be cooked; when I moved my plate around so that I could see the miniscule portion of steak, the waitron moved it back around (steak to the left-hand side), informing me that this too was on the insistence of the chef. Really? Why should the people paying for the service goose-step to the chef? What little we were served from the set lunch menu was tasty, but I was hungry less than an hour later. The photographs from other diners show portions considerably larger than the ones served today. I wonder was there a problem in the kitchen? Of course, the prices don't match the food on offer ... The service was pleasant but distracted in a dining area not fully reserved; reminders needed to keep the attention of the serving-staff. Try it once, if you must, but better food and better value elswhere in this city of chefs and diner-outers .... the owner responded that the portions are all the same size. If that's the case, then the photos on the website...
