I had been eager to try this restaurant, as we’re staying nearby for three weeks. When the server first approached me, I responded in English and mentioned I was a party of one. He immediately told me they might not have space for me. However, he went on to welcome other parties — who had joined the line after me — in French, without mentioning any lack of space to them.
After waiting over 30 minutes in line, I was finally next. Several tables opened up at once. When the server came to seat me inside, I politely asked if I could sit at the only available outdoor table. He told me that table was for two girls who had arrived about five minutes earlier, even though they were three parties behind me in line — and no, they did not have a reservation.
I would have expected the staff to prioritize those who had been waiting the longest and next in line. The final straw was that they seated everyone all at once — and every other table was attended to before mine.
Honestly, it felt like I was treated differently simply because I was a stranger and didn’t speak French.
At that point, I no longer felt that this establishment deserved my business, and I left immediately. I won’t be returning, and I strongly encourage fellow travelers to dine elsewhere.
