Le 217 Brasserie Restaurant — Restaurant in Paris

My husband and I came across this nice, cute restaurant on the first day of our visit to Paris in April. Food and coffee were great. Fish was, oh so fresh and tasty! Pasta was better than those in the USA and the beef was great as well. I saw plates of hamburgers going by us to other tables and those looked very inviting too! We decided to try one of their desserts….and totally enjoyed every bite! What we liked about desserts in Paris - on the whole, their pastries and desserts are not as sweet as in the USA! That’s awesome. The ONLY issue I had was with the outside cigarette smoke, from those wanting to enjoy their meals in the sun. I TOTALLY understand BUT when the wind blew the smoke inside (cos of open windows and doors), it made it hard on my lungs and dampened my ability to totally enjoy my delicious meal without having to worry about the incoming smoke. However, I must say….the host and hostess (seemed like they were the owners) were attentive enough in spite of having to tend to so many customers - they were packed! IF they had all the windows and door closed, I would definitely give them a 5! If you don’t mind the smoke, I highly recommend eating here!...

There was a hair in my entree plate. There was no personnel who knows English. Edit: The owner says this comment is “stupid”. That shows what kind of people are you. Owner response says “our personnels almost bold”. That should be a joke, right? The hair or body hair was inside of cheese, not just on it. I think you check the hygiene. And of course your personnels dont have to know english but a menu man? You can do it. I added photo, everyone can check that. You brought me a plate with hair, I wrote that and you said that is stupit. You should have just said “sorry, hair is unexceptable”. That is soo rude, I gave three star before but I changed after that...

I never wrote a review before, but this time it was the most horrible experience ever. I went to this place because of the better reviews I read from others. It seemed all fine in the beginning until I order steak (meat). The meat was watery and does not taste fresh. I could not take any bite at all, I may throw up and worried I may get sick. I tried to explain the food does not taste fresh to the waiter. He went crazy started shouting at me in French. Horrible service with horrible food. The waiter (he seems the owner btw), if you tell him something is wrong in the food, he will turn at you and rudely shout at you, and treat you as if you are a criminal...
