I sometimes wonder where restaurants find these people.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Staff are human too, and they might not notice when attitudes they've been comfortable with all along are actually not appropriate for service. and this might only apply to certain difficult situations with guests, which they are not used to handling. that said, i've realized communication and synergy between kitchen(chefs) and floor(waiters) is really important for the success of a restaurant!<BR/><BR/>oh well.. haha :) your blog was highly entertaining by the way, hinata. i read with horrified mirth.i'll be going down this week to le papillon :) by the way, i'm switching from my xanga blog to blogger.. so my blog is currently empty. i will be featuring posts on it soon. do drop by!- xtina -https://www.blogger.com/profile/16190018735669866737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628008.post-1149060453184918812006-05-31T15:27:00.000+08:002006-05-31T15:27:00.000+08:00Anon - glad to hear it!

It turned out to be better than reported and expected. <BR/>Food was not ultra-fine like other French restaurants (subjective to various palates) but service was good. Chef was very accomodating as well (my guest doesn't take any dairy products). <BR/><BR/>Good experience overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628008.post-1148350101293624412006-05-23T10:08:00.000+08:002006-05-23T10:08:00.000+08:00shaz and mm - the food is definitely enjoyable. it...shaz and mm - the food is definitely enjoyable. it's been two weeks since the restaurant opened now, so it's doubled its experience since i got there, hopefully the service has improved likewise!hinatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670681037946872386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628008.post-1148289964635931192006-05-22T17:26:00.000+08:002006-05-22T17:26:00.000+08:00Cripes, and I was thinking of reviewing it.
