My friend and I was looking for a great place to end my last stay in New Orleans. When we googled, M bistro popped up with wonderful reviews. When we arrived, there was live jazz playing which was nice but a bit loud for us. We asked if we can be seated in the back of the restaurant so it would be a bit quiet. Immediately the waiter had an attitude as he seated us. I brushed it off and pretended that it was not there. Then when we ordered, there was the attitude again, for no reason. We only wanted to try the gumbo because it's well talked about on the restaurant's reviews. No matter what we ordered we shouldn't have been treated that way. The waiter said that's it very sarcastic and with a tone. I also order some beignets and was not sure if the lady who took the order heard me. When the waiter who was tall slim African American guy came back I asked him about the beignets. He rudely replied, " didnt you ask for them already?" That's when I said ok what's the problem and why do you have an attitude. He proceeded to lie and said he didn't. That's when my friend said yes you do. He started walking up to our table so we stood up. You dont walk up to people in a hostle manner. Then he starts getting in my face when I kept telling him he has a tone. He got in my friends face so I had to step in the middle. The waiter told us if we wanna fight him on his job! Like really? This is the service you get for supposedly great food? The whole situation was crazy. We didn't get to try any of the food. We ended up leaving and speaking to the manager who applogied and asked us to stay. Who will stay after that. And it looked like he was the only waiter in that section. My friend didnt want to be in the same space as him we left but before we did, manager gave us a cup of Hennessy to go.
