The most laughable evening out during our recent honeymoon visit to Paris. A quick search revealed…read morea potentially good show of an American female R & B singer; best of mediocre choices on a Wednesday evening. In fact, she and her band were great for the one set my wife and I stayed around for.
Going in I knew there'd be a hefty cover charge of 27€, or about $38. Okay fine--I'm in Paris so what the heck. We went in to discover the room was split in two with drinkers not watching the show occupying about three-quarters of the space. After indicating we wanted to watch the show we we ushered to some surprisingly good seats near the front, even though the stage was empty as the first set was over.
We were quickly given menus where I discovered ALL drinks cost 27€. Even the soft drinks! But they gave us a 'break' by discounting the second drink by 50% to ONLY 13.50€. Such a deal!
Okay, again I thought, it's Paris. Our wait to order drinks began. 15 minutes later the band returned and played three numbers very well. No server in sight. The featured singer came out and belted out more tunes well. No sign of the server. Suddenly drinks were placed on our table, and then unceremoniously yanked away. Oops, wrong table. Still no approach by the server, though she was scurrying around elsewhere in the room.
After 45 minutes or so the set ended. Pretty good, but our mouths were dry and patience used up. We got up and walked out. Not a peep from anyone. C'est la vie!
Not worth finding, this place. Look elsewhere.
