点评:I went with a large group of friends to celebrate a birthday. As we got there, I was kinda disappointed by the over expensive price and the low variety of main courses to choose from. However, this was a one-time celebration so I ended up not thinking to much about it, even though it bothered me and my friends.
The worse and what made me write this review was what happened after dinner. After we ate, we went out in the street just to get some hair. We stayed for a bit, walked a bit down down the street and made our way back into the restaurant, which at this point had already became a nightclub and so we decided to stay there instead of going somewhere else. As I was about to enter the restaurant with a friend of mine, we were abruptly stopped by the two security guards (at the door) and one of the waiters (who had previously been to our table to bring the drinks). I was a bit confused as they started to speak in a somewhat aggressive manner. Now I do speak French, but I’m not native, so there’s lots that I don’t understand, especially when people are speaking fast and being aggressive. My friend who was with me doesn’t speak or understand french, so he was completely confused. At some point, the three of them were speaking at the same time, making it even more hard to understand. Luckily, I did understood the word “Bonsoir” and I remembered that in France it’s a big deal if you don’t say “Bonjour” or “Bonsoir” when you enter a place. I didn’t say it but my friend did. But I understand, it’s the culture, you gotta respect it. Anyway, because I wasn’t sure about what they were saying, I asked them if they could tell me in English, to which they said “My English is very bad” with a mocking voice. You don’t speak English? Fine. But don’t make fun of foreign people for asking. So this was already going on for a long time and all I wanted was for me and my friend to go join our friends inside so I said in french “Just to be sure, you’re saying that we cannot go in just because I didn’t said Bonsoir?” To which one of the security guards responded (I think, they were speaking way too fast so I’m not sure): “When you go to the bakery, you don’t enter without saying good morning, do you?” (All of this while doing a poor imitation of me, I assume). To this point I was shocked that all of this had happened just because I didn’t said goodnight. I said “Ok, you’re right but can I go in?” They finally letted us in. But it wasn’t the end.
Later in the night, we got out of the restaurant again, this time a bigger group. When we were going back in, I went last behind my friends. Everyone got in without saying “Bonsoir” but me. And the same security guard that stopped me in the first place said something to me in french, so aggressively that I still don’t know what the hell he said. I just went inside and after a few moments I left. The night was done for me. This night that should have been of celebration ended up becoming a bad memory. Definitely won’t be going back there.
This obviously wasn’t the end of the world. But it was enough to ruin a night that I longed for with my friends. It’s ridiculous how the security guards and on waiter treat costumers, especially someone who had consumed there before (and paid a lot!). I got humiliated without a reason and I definitely wont be going back there.

更糟糕的是,让我写这篇评论的是晚饭后发生的事情。吃完饭,我们就到街上去理发。我们停留了一会儿,沿着街道走了一会儿,然后回到餐厅,此时餐厅已经变成了一家夜总会,所以我们决定留在那里而不是去其他地方。当我正要和我的一个朋友进入餐厅时,我们突然被两名保安人员(在门口)和一名服务员(之前曾到我们的餐桌上拿饮料)拦住。当他们开始以一种有点咄咄逼人的方式说话时,我有点困惑。现在我会说法语,但我不是母语人士,所以有很多我听不懂的地方,尤其是当人们语速很快且咄咄逼人时。我和我一起的朋友不会说也不懂法语,所以他完全糊涂了。不知何时,三人同时开口,更让人听不懂了。幸运的是,我确实理解了“Bonsoir”这个词,而且我记得在法国,如果你进入一个地方时不说“Bonjour”或“Bonsoir”,那将是一件大事。我没说,但我朋友说了。但我明白,这是一种文化,你必须尊重它。无论如何,因为我不确定他们在说什么,我问他们是否可以用英语告诉我,他们用嘲讽的声音说“我的英语很糟糕”。你不会说英语?美好的。但是不要取笑外国人的询问。所以这已经持续了很长时间,我只想让我和我的朋友去和我们的朋友一起进去,所以我用法语说“只是为了确定,你说我们不能进去只是因为我没有Bonsoir 说?其中一名保安回应(我想,他们说话太快了,所以我不确定):“当你去面包店时,你不会不说早上好就进入,是吗?” (我想,所有这些都是在模仿我的时候做的很差)。到目前为止,我感到震惊的是,这一切都是因为我没有说晚安而发生的。我说:“好吧,你是对的,但我可以进去吗?”他们终于让我们进去了。但这还没有结束。
深夜,我们再次走出餐厅,这次是一大群人。当我们回去时,我排在我朋友们的最后。除了我,每个人都没有说“Bonsoir”就进来了。那个一开始拦住我的保安用法语对我说了些什么,语气如此咄咄逼人,我到现在都不知道他到底说了什么。我刚进去,过了一会儿就离开了。夜晚对我来说已经结束了。这个本该值得庆贺的夜晚,却成了一段糟糕的回忆。绝对不会回到那里。
这显然不是世界末日。但这足以毁掉我渴望与朋友们度过的一个夜晚。保安人员和服务员对待顾客的方式很荒谬,尤其是以前在那里消费过的人(而且付了很多钱!)。我无缘无故地受到羞辱,我绝对不会回到那里。
