The restaurant told us on the phone the day before it was not possible to get reservations. I went and got in, and there were several empty tables the whole time I was there--about an hour and a half. So they were not super busy....Very nice environment, and I had heard it got great reviews.
My friend got sick, so I was alone, and I thought that maybe there was no room for two, but one could get in--though, of course, I was at a table for two.
In any case, maybe it was because I was a single woman, but the waiter totally ignored me. I ordered Moules-Frites, and he brought it with a salad. I thought that I didn't remember that a salad came with it but just assumed the fries would come. After I had eaten more than half my mussels, I managed to flag him down and asked where the fries were. He took away my salad without a word and, quite a while later, returned with fries. He never returned to my table. I managed to flag down someone else and asked them to please tell my waiter I would like another beer. He brought one but not the same kind as I'd had before. I gave up and drank it anyway. The 20% tip is added, so there is no chance to express my displeasure through a tip.
The food, however, was exceptional. The mussels were great--no bread to soak up the juice. I don't know if it was extra and you had to ask for it or if he just forgot it. But the mussels were exceptional. They were plump and juicy, and the broth was exceptional. I don't expect 5-star service, but better than this. The food was the saving grace. Not sure if I'd go back or not.More
