"I should have trusted my instincts when we first walked into the restaurant. My husband asked if we could have lunch, and the waiter/barman's response was, "Do you have a reservation?" When he said no, the waiter motioned towards some seats and said, "Sit over there," before walking away muttering something under his breath. Despite the unwelcoming start, we decided to look at the menu. The sandwich options sounded good, so we decided to stay. I ordered a croque monsieur, but what arrived was not at all what I expected. It was more like a cheese and ham toastie, with thin bread, low-quality ham slices, and the cheese on the outside of the sandwich. To make matters worse, the cheese was an unappetizing orange color and the sandwich lacked the traditional bechemel sauce. The fries were supposed to have skin on them, but we received a cheaper alternative with no skin at all. I have never been so disappointed in a meal before. When we were ready to leave (and pay, despite my disappointment), a staff member had to go find the waiter, who returned with a nonchalant attitude. The service was shockingly bad, as was the food. It's a shame because my husband and I were discussing the possibility of staying there for a night away, but after this experience, that won't be happening."
