Odessa — Restaurant in Paris

⛔️⛔️⛔️ Any tourist who doesn’t speak the language may need to steer clear of this place. Aesthetically, from the outside it looks great but once you take a seat, there is a waiter there intent on making things very difficult for you. Knowing I struggle with the language, I went out of my way to be cordial and respectful. In turn all I got was insolence and disrespect. One waiter in particular is the reason for this review. Didn’t get his name but I’m willing to bet he’s the reason for all the other complaints on here about the horrendous service. Waiter didn’t make an effort to understand what I was trying to say. Just made nasty faces and hand gestures. I showed him a pic of what I wanted and still didn’t understand me. In addition, he basically tossed my eating utensils on the table. Took forever to bring me my food. By the time food was at the table it was cold and bland. Not sure if it was because I was upset or it just tasted bad, but I didn’t even finish it. To top things off, waiter tried to pull a stunt on me with the “declined” credit card. I assured him there was money in the card and if it weren’t working it was because of his machine not my card. As expected, the card ran thru with no issues on the second attempt. Sad to see he’s done this to others. I think he does it to embarrass customers he doesn’t like. You’ve been...

a very aggressive service ! One of the worst bar experiences in Paris

We just wanted to enjoy drinks and the euro final with friends. We've been told at the beginning and in a very rude way that we need to take multiple drinks by person. they kept harassing us (and only us) to keep ordering every 30 minutes, it was really weird. And it's not like there is a variety of nice choices, everything is bad / low quality / super mega expensive !!

Staff are super cold but you can say that's the standard in Paris, but there is that one short fella (a living Lord Maximus Farquaad) that seems to be the boss ? very very rude (talking to you like you just took his kingdom, shouting at you, not letting you finishing your sentences, takes the menu out of your hand and the list is long...)

People living in Paris, of course if you "inspect" the place before hand you won't go in and be fooled like us

People not living in Paris and coming for the holidays, avoid this scam if you don't wanna be overcharged and yelled at (good luck tourists of Paris)

little cherry at the top : we were charged additional 2 euros (for the air maybe?). Thankfully we saw it...

This place looked really cozy and the athmosphere was great. This is what originally pulled us into the place.

When looking at the menu, we were surprised by the exuberant prices but assumed it was worth it.

Need less to say how surprised we were our waiter was so unwelcoming, unfriendly and even rude. He came standing 5 feet away with crossed arms asking what we wanted in a very impolite way. I almost had to shout to be heared which made me feel very awkward. He frowned 3 times because he didn’t understood what we wanted. I asked for some information about the menu and wanted to order. We asked for some minor alterations because we had no other options but were told they don’t accomodate request from clients. Strange in a place where hospitality is and service are part of the trade…

After reading some reviews we realised we were not the only ones…

We ended up leaving because the waiter made us feel so uncommon and unwelcome.

1 star. Would not recommend.

*A lot of times expensive prices reflect great service and menu. Clearly not in this...
