I wanted to write a great 5 star review but was disappointed on several points. Right from the start I had to pay €50 pp upon booking. I understand that restaurants are plagued by no shows but I NEVER don’t show up and it annoys me to be treated this way. Then the confirmation email told me how to dress!
Water, flat or pétillant, sorry no carafe d’eau. Really? We drank plenty of alcohol so this nickel and dime-ing felt punitive. Also our server, while mostly lovely, kept upselling us.
Ok the food was very good although the plats, said to be shared were small, especially for the price. We did have a nice chat with the chef.
The final straw was when I paid the bill €400 for 3 people) the server handed me the machine to choose my tip; 10, 15 or 20%.
Come on Vesper! I realize many of your clients are foreign and don’t realize that tips are in large part included but something is always appreciated. But to be confronted with a quite public option of leaving a minimum of €40 in front of my guests was not ok.
These small things mean I’m unlikely to be back.
