La Cité des Vents SA — Restaurant in Vernier

As an experienced guests of Cité Des Vents.Tonight was truly a comedy of errors. Seriously I can only give them one star and that is for being in the right place as stated and being open, however our treatment leaves alot to be desired. We, arrived hoping to finish off our evening in good stead, however our sentiments soon vanished. Upon arrival, we ordered coffee and was promptly informed that they were not serving coffee as it ( I am assuming the weather ) was too hot, I was rather bewildered at this as it is an Itailen restuarant and I have yet to hear this even in the height of summer in Italy a tempreture of over 30 degrees and tonight's was a mere 19 degrees ( shocked to say the least ) or maybe I was not Italien enough although I have an very Italien surname and linage !!!!! Please note that the next table did not get the same treatment as they were promptly were served 10 coffees. And then it just went downhill, me and my friend ordered a Creme Brulee and we got Creme Soup !!!!!! I was offered a replacement which had barely set by the skin of its teeth. My friend however was not as the Chef had deemed hers fine, I am not sure when the Chef hopped over to taste hers or even look at it but hey !!! And then came what I can only see as the kicker or joke of the evening, after waiting for approximatly half an hour for the bill to arrive, I got up gathered up the bill and went inside to the bar to pay. Only to have our server try to defraud me of my change, not sure if this was his way of getting a tip. However, here is my tip (not financal) PLEASE learn to count! I, personally do not use cafe maths...

The experience we had in the restaurant was simply excellent! We were two and we ordered the Cote de boeuf and the entrecôte de boeuf. It was well served (on a hot stone - so you can make it the way you want) and accompanied by a salad+French fries or rise+hot vegetables. The size of the dish was more than satisfactory.

Price was decent and in general I would recommend...

Avant d'ouvrir un restaurant, on essai au moins de terminer sa formation. Résumons cette mauvaise expérience. Lasagnes brûlées sur les bords, crues au milieux. Pizza avec autant de garnitures qu'une surgelées (merguez, ça aurait pu suggérer un pluriels, néni) et pas au feu de bois cela va sans dire. Poulet basquaise se transformant en dinde napoli avec sauce, riz et julienne de carottes le tout sans sel. Ajouter un personnel débutant, ne parlant pas français mais italien (débrouillez vous, sinon vous aurez droits à des regards noirs). Ajoutons un soupçon de musique d'ambiance à base de gammes d'harmonica. Arrive les desserts "maison". Mousse au chocolat immangeable (c'est clairement de la poudre). Crème brûlée pas cuite et sans vanille. La carafe d'eau sera facturée 4.-, le coca 4.90.-, la bière 3.70.-. Je met 2 étoiles: une pour le cadre, et une pour l'effort de ne pas compter les desserts. Il n'y a aussi qu'un WC, qu'hommes et femmes se partageront. On vous demandera d'être compréhensif, ils rentrent...
