So I've actually NEVER felt the need to leave an online review for a restaurant in my entire life. But after this abysmal train wreck of an ordeal, I felt like I had an actual moral prerogative to make an account just to urge ANYONE who is considering coming here to please don't. It's for your own good.
If you value a good dining experience, your money, or even just an hour of your time, I assure it is in your best interest to stay away from this Joffrey Baratheon of a food-serving establishment. In just a few hours, Chez Paul has actually managed to overcome Logan Paul as the universal worst Paul.
Look, I just wanted a decent night out. Not much to ask for, right? I got here in the afternoon, and the all-around sad experience began as soon as I sat down.
1) The staff is incredibly vile. If our waiter's job was to show us how to really put the host in hostile, then by God did he excel with all the flying colors in France. I understand that we took awhile to order, and that we're Chinese-American tourists (the rare quiet ones, even), but none of this warrants the constant aura of annoyance that emanated from our waiter the entire time. We were very obviously ignored several times, and just to really rub it in our faces that we weren't welcome, he made these aggressive grunting sounds at random occasions, like a really territorial and xenophobic gorilla.
2) Because this waiter evidently abhorred our existence on this planet, we asked for help from a nearby waitress. We just wanted to know if they could sear the foie gras pate for us, to which she replied "No". Okay. And then she RIDICULED US FOR ASKING TO OTHER WAITERS. I can understand that it may have been a dumb question, but do you really need to laugh at the customers while they are eating? This isn't even restaurant etiquette, this is just COMMON DECENCY. If I did this in the second grade, I'd have been confined to the naughty corner during recess. For any professional location that deserves some iota of a semblance of respect, this is unacceptable.
3) In a logarithmic scale between a burnt half-potato and decent food, this restaurant would still be somewhere along the left end. The rabbit was so dry it must've been desiccated in a laboratory beforehand. Dry enough to wipe your tears of disappointment with. Not only that, the fish was so basic, it carries around a selfie stick. I've had $2 burgers that was more appetizing than some of their dishes. Though, just to be fair, the foie gras was actually pretty good, so if you were getting that at half price without interaction from the staff, maybe you'll give this place a 3-star.
Overall, if you're still hoping for some semblance of an enjoyable time here, I implore: go to literally any other place that sells edible matter. You'll have a much better time than this stepped-lego of an experience. read more
