Itaewon Restaurant Cote Jardin — Restaurant in Seoul

Do not ignore the few warning reviews here because THEY ARE SO TRUE! Just get some French fries at McDonald's than going to this place. There's nothing French in this place except the owner speaks French. Even the worst tourist trap in France will serve better food than here (believe me, at a better price).

The chandlier above the table was full of dust and spider web. I wasn't brave enough to look inside the cockroach trap.

The service was terrible too. At reception, the manager told us to wait for few hours simply because he couldn't find my name on his reservation list. To enter, I myself had to point my name on his ipad and prove that I made reservation correctly.

I felt sorry for the serving staff who was being overexploited. She had to serve 10-11 tables alone. I wasn't surprised that I had to walk across the hall to get her attention and wait for a spoon for five minutes after the soup came out. ​Eventually she tripped over a fan next to our table. Water and broken glass fragments shed on our table and on my face while we were eating. The manager apologized and said it was an ACCIDENT but you know IT IS NOT. For good service, one server should handle 4 - 6 tables at a time.

This restaurant simply ruined my day. Don't let...

This restaurant provided me with the best meal I have had in several years. The potato soup and the onion soup (I had both) were wonderful, so good that my companion and I each ordered another bowl of the potato soup. For the main course, I had both lamb chops and steak and they were delicious - tender and juicy. For dessert, my companion had chocolate cake and I had a piece of lemon cheesecake pie. Both were rich and full of flavor. So the food was delicious, but its high quality was matched by the excellent service provided by the French waitresses. They were discreetly attentive, extremely polite and provided perfect service. Finally, I want to mention the French owner/manager. He gave us very kind, pleasant and considerate attention, made suggestions without being domineering and his very French panache really added to the atmosphere. At the end of the meal, I asked for cafe au lait and although it was not on the menu, they graciously made a cup for me and it was perfect - rich, flavorful yet so smooth that no sweetener was required. I strongly recommend this wonderful restaurant. It was the best dining experience I have had...

Food was ok except for the fact that one order did not come. Which ruined my family's lunch as the atmosphere was ruined after that. The manager was called for a solution and why they were saying they couldn't give us our order after ordering. The reason was food shortage? I know it happens sometimes so that's fine. Except for the attitude of the manager. We called the manager yet the manager was raising his voice trying to explain that the kitchen was at fault. What was even worse was that we waited a whole hour for our dish yet they never told us that they couldn't give it to us. The manager told us random things such as how this restaurant was nothing to him and that he works somewhere better as if that would give us a solution. Overall would not recommend this specific restaurant if the manager...
