We came back last weekend to enjoy the sun and the location of this great terrace. This time however, the 1st waiter we got kinda ruined the experience. (I have his name but decided not to write it on here. Will provide upon request)
First of, we came in and were seated pretty much right away. We asked for a bottle of Pinot Grigio, he insisted that "It's really not good! I suggested you take this other one" and pointed to the most expensive one on the list. So we said "ok if it's not good we'll have the Sauvignon" and again, same thing happened, he insisted it's really not good, that we should take the most expensive one on the list. A little annoyed but also didn't want to have "bad wine" (WHY DO YOU GUYS SELL BAD WINE????) we hesitated, we just didn't like how he was acting with us. Then he suggested a bottle of Kim Crawford and I said I remember not liking it but ok, let's try that.
After having ordered, we saw a table next to the railing was freed up so we immediately asked the waiter to switch us (at this point there was no one in the line up) He looked at us and said "hmmmmmm no u cant", when I asked "why not?" he took a few seconds to make up: "hmmmmm they're reserved" (which is a lie because u cannot reserve there) So it was a back and forth of me asking nicely but stern to switch table and him condescendingly answering back bullshit. He then pretended to ask the host and came back to basically tell us the same thing again. At this point, here were 3 empty tables near the railing.
We would have gotten up and leave at this moment if it wasn't for the fact that he just came up at our table w the bottle. He remained very condescending throughout the tasting of the wine. We remained civilized and never lost our cool.
This review would have been ONE STAR if it wasn't for the second waiter saving it. That star goes to Mikaël (i'm sorry I didn't ask how to spell his name so Im assuming this is how one writes it) who was courteous and nice.
The food was fine. We had a beet salad and an order of fries. However, when they came to take our plates away, no one actually asked if we were done. It felt like they wanted us out so they could sell the most expensive bottle to the next customers.
Also, the name Benjamin B on the bill is a code they use for ALL the waiters. If one disappoints you drastically like ours did, make sure to ask for the name.
I will not be coming back.
