| 1 | Fri Oct 13 00:16:09 2006 | Syphos | 0.00 | Tonight, I had the worst dining experience ever at Villa Massimo in La Prairie. First, I had reserved a table for 8pm and had to wait in line until 8:30pm until we could get seated. When someone near me dared to ask why we were waiting despite the reservation, the “maître d’hôtel” began to yell at her and told her to wait like the rest of the sheeps (they were not his words but the meaning was quite obvious to all concerned). Finally, we got seated. It took about half an hour before we could order drinks, although people who arrived about fifteen minutes after us at the table beside ours had already ordered them from the same waiter (we found out later they knew someone he knew). After that, it was a nightmare of bad service. The food was good, which appears to be the only good thing about that place. We even had to wait over twenty minutes to get the bill. After paying, I told the waiter I did not appreciate his service. He followed me through the door outside yelling at me that I probably went to a restaurant only once a year. I often go to restaurants, across North America. I’ve never had an experience as bad and a waiter so incompetent. If I had indeed been the type to go to a restaurant once a year, going to Villa Massimo would have been the best way to spoil the event. |

When we went, it wasn't dinner; it was an opera of ravioli, salad, and veal. Dover sole was also on the menu, and it was prepared better than any we have had, anywhere. The wine collection is a knockout, by the way, and our waiter's wine recommendation was astonishingly on point. We never felt rushed, even though we were the last people to leave. We even had room for the Crepes Suzettes, which had real flavor and texture that surpassed the comparatively bland offerings we had had on the Left Bank near Boulevard Saint-Germain last year. We were fully engaged with the waitstaff; our waiter kept the evening vibrant with good humor, meaningful discussions of food, and a general feeling of special attention to our table for four -- just because we showed some interest in how our various dishes were to be prepared. This is a special place, stuck weirdly in the middle of a shopping plaza, but replete with real people. |
