Brasserie 
General notes :
Context : With friends
Ratings details
Possibility of having late lunch. This was the only positive note about this brasserie.
(1) Unpleasant reception (two waiters were arguing between themselves; one waiter extremely unpleasantly addressed herself to couple of clients) (2) Very unpleasant and slow service (during our order, the waiter was talking to us unkindly without reason; we were not provided a carte of wines) (3) Meal not cleanely prepared and unapropriate and aggressive reaction from waiters. One friend found a salad animal in her plate. When kindly indicated it to the waiter, the waiter did not apologize at all, but aggressively started complain that we did not show it earlier (meal was half eaten already), and that salad animal is not a problem. One waiter also started loudly shouting at my friend. My friend had to pay full price for a menu despite all this, even though she asked to be charged only for what she ate (given situation, she did not take anylonger her dessert). (4) Unclean tables and around tables. (5) Too high prices of meal given just average food.
