BP's review of L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

Went there for dinner on a Saturday evening with my girlfriend. The food was overall fantastic. However, at the end, the whole experience was spoiled by a service which was less attentative than in a bad Parisian restaurant. Just to give you one example: both the bottle of water and wine was placed far away from us so that we couldn't serve ourselves. Fine, that's normal for a good restaurant. But it's simply not normal to wait for 5-10 minutes with an empty glass and call the waitor to fill it up. Not one single time did a waitor stop by to check that everything is fine. In summary: we spent a significant amount of money, but the overall experience was one of the most deceptive I had. Not coming back, although it is a real pity for the food, which is OUTSTANDING
