"I spend quite a bit of time in nice restaurants. I am used to so-so service. But what I am not used to vindictive service. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our last night in Paris. We ordered a shared starter, and asked for two small plates. Denied! (despite the fact that the plates were on the shelf just a few meters away). Water on the table? Empty. Then the wine came and there just happened to be a centimeter of sediment in the glass. When my girlfriend asked the waiter about this, he explained to her in generous terms why there was sediment in the glass. In the end, we were just uncomfortable and wanted to leave. I don't mean to sound dramatic, but I honestly felt like I was one step away from Seinfeld's "no soup for you!""
