Café Zeph Restaurant — Restaurant in Thonon-les-Bains

Pathetic gin & tonic, but the food looked amazing so we decided to stay for dinner. We chose 3 entrees, to share between 4 people and we were told it was not allowed, no exception, we must order another meal. The boss came out and screamed at us in front of the whole dining room!
