Pretentious and tasteless food with terribly slow service. The reception lady was fast at least but downhill from there. I don't blame the waiters as they're incredibly busy downstairs - just not enough of them. A screaming impatient baby with parents who kept trying to get their attention barely got to order.

The menu took over 15 mins to come. And ordering was painful after that.

Didn't bother to eat the dessert after the leatherlike steak, and what rather tasteless veal. Hot chocolate tasted good...just cold.

It just looked like a restaurant taking advantage of the immigrants working them like slaves while the customers pretend to be fancy.

Husband wanted to visit for the historical significance. I guess I know why Voltaire had 40 coffees a day - he was probably waiting that long for service.
