Summary: Recommended to try if staying close by, but be sure to book for an earlier seating as staff interest in service disappeared at the end of the night.
Coretta was recommended to us by our Parisian host as an excellent option for a birthday dinner for two in the 17th. Reservation was for Sunday at 9pm. Warm welcome in French or English when we arrived a little early. Chose to sit outside. Very attentive and courteous service for the three course meal- possibly a bit rushed. Food was excellent - elegantly presented, fresh, buttery, effortless. Veal, lamb, rhubarb all a delight. Amuse to start and sorbet to finish were a nice touch. Accompanied by an excellent bottle of white Bordeaux.
Service waned at the main when a glass of red ordered to pair with the lamb did not appear. At the final prompt clearing of plates we are asked if we would like coffee after we finished our wine, but the offer never appeared again. Despite numerous walk pasts of staff I was left to go inside to settle up at the bar - and remove the no-show red wine from the bill.
We were some of the last clients at the end of the night but it wouldnât have taken much more to send us out really happy! 5/5 for food but the bad taste of tired service lingers. Did not seem like additional smoke breaks by staff (including our wait staff) out front the restaurant helped much!
Would consider returning on our next visit to Paris, but will look carefully at the...
   Read moreMost dramatic and worst experience I ever had in any restaurant around the globe. The service was not only a disgrace, but more importantly, there was no respect from the rude waiters. On top of rude waiters there was a serious scarcity in the kitchen of this restaurant. We got so little butter with the bread for 5 people that we asked some extra. The reply we got was that there would not be enough for other guests and that we had to eat dry bread instead. When asked for some olive oil to accompany the bread, the oil was literally thrown and smashed at our table by the waiter. Honestly, both the owner and waiters of this restaurant have some issues, because there is no other way of understanding why you would treat your guests like this. We were with a party of 5 and everyone felt so unwelcome that we decided to go elsewhere. I would recommend anyone to do the same. Not even was the service crappy, the restaurant was amazingly sterile and uncosy and very âunparisianâ. Paris has so many amazing restaurants with an amazing vibe and ambiance, be cautious to not make the same mistake as our party did. As a last note, but before posting this review I reached out to the owner about our experiences - three weeks ago - and unsurprisingly never...
   Read moreJâai mangĂ© Ă Coretta le samedi 15 Mars et ça a Ă©tĂ© la pire expĂ©rience ! Jâai fait une Ă©norme crise dâallergie au gluten avant mĂȘme de manger le dessert, jâai Ă©tĂ© malade toute la soirĂ©e et plus dâune semaine aprĂšs ! Lâallergie Ă©tait sĂ©rieuse malgrĂ© mes nombreuses prĂ©cautions ! Et le pire, câest quâon nous a fait payer dâabord 44⏠pour le menu (alors que je nâavais pas touchĂ© au dessert!) et puis au final on mâa fait faire 36⏠le plat qui, vous lâaurez compris, mâa clouĂ© aux toilettes du restaurant toute la soirĂ©e! 36⏠pour un plat qui mâa causĂ© une aussi grosse allergie est non seulement une honte mais plus encore un vĂ©ritable danger pour toute personne allergique! Ăa fait cher lâindigestion!!!!
Ătant allergique au gluten (maladie de cĆliaque) jâai pris le soin de regarder le menu , de lire les avis et dâappeler le restaurant pour mâassurer quâil y avait des options adaptĂ©es Ă mon allergie. La personne qui mâa assurĂ© quâil y avait bien des options « sĂ»res » Ă©tait la mĂȘme qui nous a accueilli au restaurant. Rebelotte je redemande pour les options sans gluten et demande mĂȘme la liste des allergĂšnes: le serveur, trĂšs imbus de soit mĂȘme me rĂ©pond sĂšchement quâil mâavait dĂ©jĂ assurĂ© quâil nây avait pas de gluten dans le plat que jâavais choisis. Et pourtant, Ă peine le plat terminĂ© (ici en photo) avant mĂȘme dâavoir goĂ»tĂ© au dessert, une trĂšs forte douleur au ventre mâenvoie aux toilettes du restaurant: jâai Ă©tĂ© malade toute la soirĂ©e et le lendemain et la fatigue extrĂȘme dâune crise dâallergie sâest poursuivie pendant plus dâune semaine aprĂšs !
Jâavais fait part de mon allergie Ă la Cheffe (elle avait mĂȘme vu Ă quel point mon ventre avait gonflĂ©), et Ă part des excuses et de rĂ©pĂ©ter quâil nây avait pourtant pa de gluten, aucun geste commercial nâa Ă©tĂ© proposĂ©. Jâai beaucoup de respect pour le mĂ©tier et pour le dur travail de la cheffe et de son Ă©quipe MAIS une allergie est Ă prendre au sĂ©rieux et les contaminations croisĂ©es doivent ĂȘtre prises en considĂ©ration pour Ă©viter toute rĂ©action allergique. On voyait les diffĂ©rents cuisiniers toucher Ă tout avec leurs mains, tous les plats sans...
