    Our server was the highlight. So nice and spoke some English which helped as well. Our appetizers were the Ceviche and the Beef with Teriyaki and both were very good. I tried the Bordeaux wine and the Pinot Noir and was not impressed with either. We both ordered the Grilled Rib Steak (Medium-Rare) and substituted for truffle potatoes instead of fries. They came out so Blue (deep dark red inside) I think they cooked it for 30 seconds on each side. We sent them both back and they came back Rare (arguably still less than rare) I had to send mine back again to finally get a medium rare/medium finish but that was rather pointless because the meat had zero flavor whatsoever. It took 2 minutes to chew one piece. You get some sauces to dip in which helps with the lack of flavor but the chewiness was exhausting. This is not what I expected for 44 Euro’s. It was a piece of cheap meat with chunks of fat attached all over. I can buy the cheapest steak at the grocery store and do infinitely better. They did give us a free dessert which was nice since we really didn’t eat our main course together and ended up being there much longer with the multiple re-cooks. Would’ve been better to have removed my steak from the bill at that point.

    The food was good, except for desserts, but we were pointedly pressured to leave a “tip” beyond the normal service charge which is included in all restaurant bills. Indeed, they lied to us and said that they had not included a service charge. That, if true, would be a violation of French law. Dessert choices were mediocre. We had saved some red wine to enjoy with a cheese plate, but they said that they had run out of cheese (even though we were early diners.) Ridiculous! They could have restocked by purchasing some right in the neighborhood. The dessert we finally, reluctantly, chose was a heavy, thick, and poorly tasting tiramisu. The exact opposite of a good one. This unsatisfactory meal did not deserve a “tip”. And we resented being lied to and taken for fools.
