Brasserie La Maison, sur Paris

Cuisine française classique de bonne qualité mais accueil déplorable !!! En ce jour d'ouverture des JO, j'espère que vous ferez un effort avec les touristes. Il fallait fermer si vous ne souhaitiez pas travailler.

Apparently this used to be really good before they switched owners. I wouldn’t recommend it. It was very average, and in a place like Paris, where there are so many good choices, I wouldn’t waste my time. The duck confit had some kind of gravy on it. That shouldn't be necessary if it was actually good. The tarte tatin seemed like it had been around for a long time. Not fresh. Crust and apples were mushy. The worst part? And it was soul crushing. There was only one woman working there. The rest were younger men. They stood around and talked while she did all the work. She was the only one waiting tables. It was just so blatant. You could see the pain in her eyes, yet she managed to be kind and gracious. It was heart breaking to watch. I asked once for butter, and I heard one of the guys say, “that’s not my table.” Ok really? But you’re not doing anything! They should work as a team. Anyhow, no. I wouldn’t bother. We were both disappointed.
