AVOID! Reserved a table for me and my girl, wanted a fancy long dinner for our first night in Paris... So after about 3 minutes of waiting, got placed next to the road in the shade, on dusty tables away from any sniff of atmosphere by the tall witch-like host. I then asked a different host why we were unable to sit in the other much more appealing area, and she said they are reserved , to which I replied with, yes, we reserved one of them and so she moved us, much to the witches annoyance.
Ordered a nice bottle of red which came without olives (which everyone else had) so I requested. Before I could put the second olive in my mouth our risotto and chateaubriand arrived, which was faster than we waited to be seated (sub 3 minutes), what was even more perplexing was the fast food was not at all hot, I ve had better chips (which I sent back) served in McDonald s at 3am. I felt the whole experience was down to a judgment on what we would spend, which I ensured was as little as possible ( 130). We went for desert in the LGBT+ quarter, and it was absolutely fantastic.
