The food at Crepe du Jour is just fine, but that cannot possibly make up for the unbelievably bad service! We’ve eaten here several times and had great experiences, but today was so dismal we will never return again. Our waiter was inept and rude from the very start- cutting people off, rolling his eyes, messing up orders and blaming us for his mistakes. We complained to the manager (and it takes a lot for me to complain) and he actually argued with us instead of hearing us out.
The last time we ate at Crepe du Jour, my husband found a piece of glass in his crepe. Because of the gracious service we received from our waiter on that particular day, we forgot that incident and were enthusiastic about eating there today. We even recommended it to people in our party, with whom we were dining for the first time. How embarrassing for all of us to have had today’s experience be at the place we recommended!
Normally, when a gratuity is added to our bill (as it usually is for large parties) one of us comments on how we usually tip far above that amount. Today, the fact that our waiter, who was rude to us from the second we sat down, received an 18% tip is a joke. I have never, in my entire life, anywhere in the world (including Paris itself) had an experience as horrible as this one.
It’s very safe to say that if any one of us have a craving for crepes, we’ll be visiting Sofi’s on Charles Street.
