    Although three of our party ordered the same salad, some of us were missing different ingredients listed as included in the meal! Two of us got no sweet potato or edamame beans, my sister found two random pieces of chicken which wasn't ordered , I got flaffels which I didn't order either A bit confusing.the waitress brought us down a small portion of the missing ingredients when I asked.Food was very nice but a bit on the expensive side for what it is.
    Café en SeineResponded today
    Thank you for your feedback, Ruby. I'm really sorry to hear about the mix-up with your salads. That kind of inconsistency is not what we aim for, especially when you're all ordering the same dish. It’s confusing and frustrating, and I completely understand how that impacted your experience. I'm glad to hear the food itself was enjoyable in the end, but we’ll definitely take your comments on both accuracy and value into account. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it. We hope to have the chance to get it right for you on a future visit to Café en Seine.
