Serpent à Plume — Restaurant in Paris

My husband and I booked a table on heated outside terrace here for our 50th wedding anniversary. When booking, stated this and requested booked for jazz in bar later. On arrival, were ushered inside (?didn’t fit the instagram profile they wished to portray?) When handed to our waiter the message of our 50y was passed on with a look?humour of shock. This ?Maitre de also returned to advise we should have his favourite octopus. I asked our waiter about this recommendation and he said “he’s silly”.

So we waited - and waited next to be offered any song of our choice to be performed at our table by the singer of the night then we waited (asking over & over) for the duck/chef to be checked. Finally not having touched the champagne, not having received the cooked duck, not having finished the suspicious ‘glass’ negroni and in tears I left my husband to finalise the bill and have our say as to the disappointment of our special evening. We’d planned it with care excitement and expense - we’d flown from Sydney Australia and we were shocked. We’d had one full hour starring in an episode of Faulty Towers without recompense. We arrived at 8pm and out at 9pm with no acceptable resolution. This was our one and only celebration of this style and importance. No excuses for our...
