It was the perfect night: great place, delicious food, tasty wines and super friendly staff. Until it wasnât.
While waiting for the bill at the end of the night I was alone at my table while my wife went to the restroom when I was accosted. A different staff member, someone who I had not seen before, approached me wanting to know why I was alone. He initially spoke French, but on realising I was not French his tone changed. When I asked why he was asking me that, he told me âmy attitude was horribleâ (!!). Apparently not acknowledging his authority was too much for his bruised ego so he continued lecturing me with his arrogant demeanour. I donât appreciate being disrespected for no reason so I told him to get off my face. He then raised his voice and added âyou Americans talk too much.â That did upset me, not because Iâm not American, but because his xenophobia was finally in full display. I then raised my voice and told him somethings I felt he needed to hear as he walked back inside. His next move was to push me to pay inside which I refused as his colleague had previously told me to wait at the table. The bill finally came, he entered the wrong amount in the credit card machine (greater, of course), I had it corrected, paid and left.
[edit] If you harass clients out of prejudice, expect pushback. Now, dismissing the issue and blaming the customer isnât just dishonestâitâs lazy. It speaks volumes about both your professionalism and the caliber of your establishment.
Enjoy your 3.8 rating. I have a feeling you...
   Read moreSamedi 22h 6 personnes en terrasse pour boire un verre Un coca, une pinte, un jus de tomate et une hésitation sur quel vin prendre pour nos trois autres camarades, un blanc, pas moelleux, mais fruité , pas sec mais pas genre tariquet 3 .
Elle demande au serveur de leur recommander le meilleur selon leurs exigeances. (Pas dâbol monsieur le serveur/barman, mon fiancĂ© et moi est du milieu et moi je lâĂ©tais). Je demande Ă ce dernier de leur faire goĂ»ter celui sur lequel elle semble se dĂ©cider sans grande conviction.
PremiĂšre erreur choquante: on leur sert le vin Ă goĂ»ter dans un verre Ă whisky⊠ah euh ⊠Oula ça part vraiment pas jojo lâaffaire, dĂ©jĂ que jâai lâimpression de lui faire littĂ©ralement ch.er quand je lui demande quâelles puissent le goĂ»ter.
Mon jus de tomate arrive avec sel de céleri et tabasco (halleluyah) mais rien pour mélanger mes ingrédients
La pinte de mon fiancĂ© arrive, et monsieur le barman dâun humour sarcastique ajoute « jâvous lâa fait goĂ»ter aussi »⊠de la CarlsbergâŠâŠâŠ bon passons . On va chercher de quoi touiller nous mĂȘme mon jus de tomate.
Le presque pompon sur la Garonne, la bouteille de vin, qui arrive sans liteau, dans un sceau . Monsieur enchaine encore sur un « jâvous fait pas goĂ»ter cette fois ci » - Ă vrai dire si , vous auriez dĂ» vu que vous Ă©tiez sensĂ© avoir ouvert la bouteille devant nous et nous la faire goĂ»ter Ă ce moment lĂ (enfin leur faire goĂ»ter Ă celles qui prenaient du vin).
Enfin un restaurant / bar qui perd deux clients pcq je cite « on ne fait plus de boisson chaudes » alors que tu as Ă lâintĂ©rieur de ton restaurant des clients qui sont sur la fin de leur repas et qui vont certainement clĂŽturer sur une boisson chaudeâŠ.
Bref euh, franchement pour y manger jâen sais rien, mais pour le service, la qualitĂ© et jâvous passe un quart dâune biĂšre commandĂ©e ensuite renversĂ©e Ă 2cm du client qui la demandait (a notre table aussi) âŠ
Pas de chance, on Ă©tait au taquet, quand tâes sur Paris, du mĂ©tiers et que tu payes ce genre de prix, les erreurs de ce type lĂ , ça devrait mĂȘme pas exister . Ou alors, monsieur le barman/serveur commence et dans ce cas lĂ il nous prĂ©vient et on comprend.
Passez , grave, votre chemin. Sauf si vous payez pour payez et que vous attendez rien du service et...
   Read morefood was fine but literally saw a rat run into the corner. we let the waitress know and she said oh yeah it comes here everyday. Not sure if they should have done something about it but they are knowingly letting a rodent run around this restaurant? I could not eat another bite afterwards and I was so grossed out I had to leave my friends. they saw another smaller one after and the restaurant finally paid more attention but still nonchalant about the problem. Not sure how common this is in paris but if you care about the hygiene of your food you probably...
