I came here for a second time tonight with two friends. I came 2 nights ago by myself and the food and view from the ground level across from Louvre pyramid was nice. Tonight the lower level was closed so we sat in the hallway area. After we got seated, we sat there for a long time and no waiter ever came by. We really needed some water, so I had to flag down the hostess in red dress to ask who was our waiter since no one came in over 10 min. She then pointed at a guy and finally he came over. So naturally I asked if we can have some water, but he kinda gave us this look and started taking in French first I guess to point out to us we needed to greet him first in French before he can serve us. So already we haven’t been served yet and is already getting attitude from the waiter who didn’t bother noticing us for 10 min. Then when we were wrapping up appetizers before mains came, we wanted to finish the appetizers so we are not wasting food, but as I went to grab the tuna tartare appetizer plate to pass to my friend to finish, once again our waiter stopped me, told me to put the plate down and just took it away. I then had to tell another waiter we were not done yet, why did they take it away. I had to ask for it back. By now the waiter was pissed at me I guess and I was pissed at him for again a very rude interaction. Maybe he was confused and didn’t realize I was trying to pass the plate for my friend to finish not taking the plate to remove it. Anyways, after that awkward appetizer incident I was not happy with this waiter and he’s clearly unhappy with us and was telling off on the side to other waiters. After that the waiter didn’t come again and we got our check from another waiter. Needless to say, I’m not a fan of waiters trying to give you attitude because you’re not a local or don’t speak French. I would be happy to say hi if the waiter greeted us as we sat down. Don’t expect too much etiquette when you had to be flagged down by a hostess and we’ve been sitting there for 10 min, saying hello in your language is the last thing on my mind so don’t be giving me attitude about it, period. I love the view of this place but the food and service will not be what’s most impressive.
