The Grill Room - Paris

We live a couple of doors down from this establishment so have frequented many times. I personally hadn’t eaten here for a year or so, but my wife had told me standards had slipped but I thought we would try. What a mistake! The service is none existent, we were not presented with a wine list or not asked for drinks during the order process, waiter walked off after food order. (The wine eventually arrived five minutes AFTER the food had arrived) When food arrived (far too quickly to be freshly prepared), wife had carpaccio which is hard to get too wrong, I had an entrecôte which admittedly was well prepared, but my mother had octopus which was cold, completely overcooked and even burnt at the edges. Unfortunately she is visiting Paris and didn’t tell us till we had left the restaurant. Not sure if they’re under new management or what’s changed but we don’t be dining at our ‘local’ restaurant ever again which is a shame…

Steaks were not cooked correctly. The Caesar salad was bland. This place was empty at 7:30 on a Saturday night.

Out of our party of 5 for dinner, my rump steak and sauce were cold by the time they were served and we had to ask twice for the french fries that had been ordered to accompany another main course. The cold steak was replaced 10 minutes later by another which was hot but the accompanying sauce pot was (still) cold. The reheated sauce was served 5 minutes later. At some point during the evening the overhead heating was increased and the temperature where we sitting rose to an extremely uncomfortable level. We had to ask 3 times before the heating was finally turned down. We were seated in one of the quieter areas of the restaurant but the restaurant was full and it was extremely noisy. We have been irregular clients at this restaurant for many years but after this experience, we will think twice before returning. Our impression is that while prices have increased the professionalism/experience of the staff has decreased. At this price level everything should be correct.

Excellent brunch!!! copyy and excellent! special mention for the lost brioche and its caramel!! impeccable service!

Very nice atmosphere. excellent food. ideal
