MANAGER STOLE OUR CHILDS FOOD.
Our server was very kind, well versed in the wines they had and very polite.
We had a horrible experience because of the manager. We ordered reve bistro gougeres (cheese puffs) for our toddler who was super hungry because everything else was closed or had a long wait. Our very nice server put in the order and we waited patiently. Our toddler was very well behaved, and quiet. The restaurant was empty except for one other table.
After about 40 minutes of waiting for the puffs (my husband and I had nuts and cheese but there wasn't really anything for our toddler), we watched the manager pull the puffs we had ordered hot out of the oven and comp them to another table that had just arrived. They had not even ordered them, they did not ask for them and we watched the food we ordered be delightfully consumed by a group of 9 middle aged women while we still sat waiting, our toddler struggling because she was hungry. My husband asked the manager what happened to our order and she did not even acknowledge him or look up. Our server apologized to use privately and comped the $6 nuts we had had and offered some crackers. The manager never said anything to us and acted like we weren't even there after stealing our baby's food.
I'm sorry, this is shitty. The manager should have apologized to us personally. She stole a baby's food to, what? Impress someone? I'm sorry but I find that deplorable, not impressive. What a bitch move. What a complete bitch! This whole interaction was totally unprofessional. We would never go back and we will continue to share this experience as often as we have the opportunity to.
We have no complaints about the server, who did her best but obviously could not confront her shitty boss.
