I have to admit this end up beeing the worst ever.... Bad servicing, which I can sometimes understand when we are eating during busy time, but it was not the case. Moreover, food as nothing to do with restaurant reputation. We had various plate, and the best ones were the one the chef had almost nothing to do with it: Oister and steak. For the rest, not cooked risoto, cold seefood, discusting tuna tartare, even the salad was not eatable... <br><br>The worst about this experience is the management staff. After complaning a couple of time, nobody came to us to inquire about our demands. Oh, yes, I forgot, the manager was 2 table from us, having a lot of fun with his friend, not caring at all about the clients... <br><br>For over 600$ dinner, this is a non acceptable situation.

For over 600$ dinner, this is a non acceptable situation.

I didnt eat there, just had a glass of wine. But i liked the atmosphere because the people were snobby and i like that because im so mean. Theres a lot of hype surrounding that place, im scared to try the food because i think i'll expect too much. I went to l’orignal once. I didnt eat there, just had a glass of wine.

Et je fput extrêmement déçue! Lees tartares ne goûtent que le tabasco, ce fût servi tout nu dans l'assiette, sans aucun accompagnement... Et je ne parle pas du service qui était désolant! Le repas était presque terminé lorsque le serveur est enfin arrivé avec la bouteille de vin! Nous étions 8 à la table et personne ne recommendera ce restaurant.
