I wasn't going to write this review, I figured, why waste my time. But then I felt it was my…read moreobligation to let others know. For me the dining experience is about the WHOLE experience. From the time you make the reservation to the time you leave the restaurant. Started at 19:30H * In summary, we waited 40 minutes to get our drink orders, I tried to make contact with the staff that we hadn't been asked even for just water, when I finally did they sent us some. * Our table neighbors arrived at 20H got their wines ordered and received them before us., we ordered about the same time. *Decided to order our meal, cause we didn't know if he'd ever come back. *Got our entrées still no wine nor beverages we ordered. *reminded them about the wines, finally a bottle I asked for came when we were 3/4 done with our entrée. *NOTE: The first batch of bread we got was bordering on stale. They must've ordered it that morning and let it sit out, or figured we were not french and they figured we wouldn't mind being served stale bread, which has happened before. However, the 2nd batch was much better. *finished entrée, main came, 2 of our friends asked about their glass of wine and bottle of sparkling water they had yet to receive and ordered it upfront when I ordered our bottle. Finally it came and keep in mind we were almost done with our mains. NOTE: entrée and mains were OK, but my steak was way overcooked, almost like leather, and I asked of it to be a point (medium rare). *Ordered dessert, big Mistake, came out 1/2 later, after the staff took a cigarette break. My father was a pastry chef so when I said it was bad, it was horrendous. The filling was so laden with gelatin, cutting into it was like cutting soft rubber. Ordered the rhubarb cheesecake. Now onto the flavors, what flavor, there was none. How do you describe white rubber a flavor? There may have been 2-3 drops of rhubarb. In fairness the only thing that tasted good on this dish was the strawberries and the little pavlova cookies. But what kinda effort takes to make that. FINISHED AT 23H I have a cooking background. Graduated with a culinary degree, have catered, taught cooking and now occasionally do restaurant reviews. I've lived in Paris for 14-years, and this is one of my 5 top worst dining experiences of all time, and I'm world traveled. Some of you are probably wondering why we just didn't get up and leave within the 1st 40 minutes, in hindsight we should've. But we were having such a good time catching up with friends and we were not in a rush and it was a gorgeous warm night. One advise I have for you, AVOID IT.
