Le Congrès Maillot — Restaurant in Paris

Arrived at the restaurant around 2:30pm. There were few customers sitting in different parts of this spacious restaurant. The decorations were nice and welcoming.

We were welcome with a warm smile at the front desk and shown to our table at a corner facing the subway station. Another waiter took order. Yet another waiter attended to us. All was good until our main dish orders were recorded wrongly.

We were served one steak and two fish dishes. We didn't argue as we had communication barriers. Language, race, culture, etc.

Then when we were given the check, he told us he was going home after that. Signalling that we should pay him soon?

I really wondered why such bad attitudes. No apologies for getting the...

Our last day in Paris visiting Congress we were greeted by a Very Very Very rude so called Manager ‘Mark’ ; a Short unfriendly , impolite Manager who refused to move our table and harshly told us all tables were reserved….. we decided to walk away but after I personally raised my voice & told him how impolite he treated us …. He changed his volume and decided to give us a far away table inside while most good tables were vacant !!! So called Short Mark , an Algerian who refused to answer us in Arabic , should be Fired …. Remember Clients & Customers always come first ! On the other hand our waiter ; Lorenzo was a super friendly waiter who served us v well the whole eve ! Food wise it’s fine but the greeting Manager, Mark is Zero zero zero & beyond Impolite . I am surprised that such an old establishment employs rude &...
