My daughter and I stopped in to enjoy lunch on the beach. After ordering we waited for 45 minutes after ordering and received no food or drinks. French customers who arrived after we did received their food and checks before we were served. In fact, we were never served anything nor did the waiter ever return to our table. We decided to leave. I informed the hostess who scolded me that we had already ordered. My retort, "perhaps you should have served us."
