• great cheese plate, OK service

The food was very good, especially the cheese plate and the bouche. I was, however, unimpressed by the service. I had reservations for just myself and was dining alone. The table had 2 place settings when I sat down and the extra was never removed. When I did not order an appetiser the setting for that course was left on the table. I was also seated at a mediocre table when the restaurant was not busy and I could see more appropriate tables for a solo patron sitting empty. Most upsetting was that when I was half way through my dessert I asked for the bill and explained it was because I was a little rushed to catch a flight, so I wanted to pay before I finished eating so I could leave right away. My bill was brought over promptly and I placed my card in the dossier but waited until well after I had finished eating before my server came over. I actually had to get up and start collecting my things as I was thinking i would have to take my bill to the front. It was only when she saw me getting up that my server took my credit card. (even though she had walked past me multiple times before that)As I was leaving I asked if the next street over was the best place to hail a taxi quickly. She insisted on calling one for me instead, saying it would just be 2 minutes. It was not. I waited nearly 10 before I finally just walked to the next street over and hailed a cab in less than a minute. The food was lovely, but I was just very disappointed by the level of service for the calibre of restaurant and the prices (I paid €43 for a main course, cheese plate, and glass of wine). They weren't unfriendly or anything, just not paying attention to what I would argue are important details of service. Also note, I would have still left a tip because I don't agree with not tipping, but the card machine didn't give me the option.
