La gentilhommière — Restaurant in Paris

Absolutely would NOT recommend this disaster if a restaurant. They took our order, brought us drinks for two hours and then admitted they did not submit our food order— with no explanation and no apology. We were not rude, not loud, basically quietly waited for food for two hours and we finally inquired if our food would be coming when they let us know they failed to put in the order. Not once did they update us or inquire how we were doing. We had two small children with us who were eventually crying because they were so hungry and they simply delivered the check and said they were sorry they forgot to put our order in.

I show him the bill and he takes it back. I ask if the food is ready soon and he asks me what food it was. I tell him again and ask if it's ready soon to which he answers that the food order hasn't been placed yet and explains to me that it's not his fault because there was a mix up in the kitchen. We ended up cancelling the food order and I recommend (Like we are about to do) to go to any other place but never...
