It was made clear that we were not permitted a better placed table. The service from the two ladies was mechanical polite and devoid of warmth. My food was pleasant, but my partner was not a happy man. His first course of Thai spiced beef was chewy. His main course, described as Bolognese d 'agneau, was effectively a very rich lamb stew topped with inappropriate and thick ravioli. The wine bottle was kept on the counter, and our glasses topped up from time to time. As the place filled up, the wine service dried up. We sat with empty glasses, as the waitresses avoided eye contact. We decided to cut things short, decline a dessert, and head for one of the glorious Amorino ice creams and a coffee in Rue Here as a substitute. The bill was 'Service Compris ', which would explain the mechanical service.
