It's certainly a shame when one bad apple rots the bunch. While the servers were lovely and sweet, we were haughtily shown the door last night by the manager who whined at us to leave because a large group had arrived. As we waited for a friend to return from the loo, our coats were slapped down on her open chair (rather absurdly, which I do admit made me giggle). We decided that if we had tipped poorly, complained widely, muddied up our surroundings or were otherwise impossibly taxing on the staff, we may have deserved a thumping. Yet we were remarkably well behaved and thus rather crestfallen as we left. We enjoyed the marvelous oysters, superb tuna, savory chicken and luscious crème caramel, but would choose another restaurant in the future in the hope of avoiding having to bear witness to another tantrum thrown by the philistine manager.
