It is truly frightening how this food is considered the gastronomic capital of not just France, but the world. I attended dinner at this location with a large group to garner the "true experience," but was met with an excessively small area where the waiters do not even dress elegantly and look like vendors or computer specialists. But I am expected to look classy? Moreover, they have no place to sit hidden from view, so they stand and stare at you. While the place is charming, the food is a dishonor. The food combinations, meant to display brilliance and sophistication, simply seemed laughable. My entree consisted of eggs with peanut butter, popcorn, and a tortilla chip. Seriously? Does this merit ingenuity? Do I go to an elegant French cuisine restaurant for popcorn in my food? At least it was edible because my plat was not. I have medical issues that do not allow me to eat high fat, so when the waiter told us their "steak" had no fat and was very clean, I was more than happy. However, after eating a few pieces, I could tell it was laden with fat that was difficult to chew. It made me nauseated, so I could not eat it. My group members were equally disgusted. One member also had swordfish which he claimed was completely bland and tough to chew. I will give credit for their wine and dessert though, although their strawberry dessert was slightly too acidic. I left the restaurant hungry and in search of other food. Please do not get caught up in this trap and treat yourself better.
