We visited la peniche for a business dinner after checking several reviews , the wait staff were…read morevery pleasant however the food overall was very disappointing. The crab appetizers were certainly delicious , the foie gras acceptable but not great , but the entrees were very much below par . We ordered a steak medium rare but had to return this twice for being cooked incorrectly -well done and blue do not match the request for medium rare ! According to the owner/manager there is no such thing as medium rare and steaks can only be cooked to three temperatures !!!! News to us world travelled patrons . One of our party also had to request to have the copious quantities of butter and oil removed from their sole, as the plate was literally swimming in it. Despite the food being less than satisfactory , the worst was that the owner/manager was unbelievably arrogant and rude when we requested that the cost of the steak be removed from the bill. This is a place that I would never visit again . Terrible customer service and below standard food.
