Paradou - New York

I stayed for 3:30 when we arrived, they told us that we had to wait 15 minutes, which would have been good, except that we were not sitting for over an hour later. while we waited for the man at the door, the guy in the ground told us that, although we wait for one, do not allow that to be an excuse to stay long because he goes home when we go home and he wants to go home. once in the inner we sat in their garden, which is a very tiny space where they 're on their place with very little space to even move their chair back. but they gave us champagner as soon as we had set ourselves, so we thought now that our Brunch experience would finally be turned around, but no. the waiters asked, which juices we mix or champagner with and came back with two dirty glasses that were badly cleaned if at all. when I asked for another class, she answered oh, that is from the strawberry juice from the past without apology or with regard to potential allergies. they took our food order quite fast, but we did not get our food for another hour later. the music was terrible, they seemed to play songs from youtube scrambling between workers to find a song to the last listening of the music of revel next door would have been a better option.) Finally, most of the tables seemed clear as it was a little after 6 but we were not yet at our 2 hour limit, so that a worker the music shuts off and tells us to go. we answer that we have paid 2 hours, like everyone else today, and should be respected by this 2 hours limit, which he then began to shout at us to come out and tell the waiters that they were clearing off our table what they did.) we were rushed and screamed out, and we wanted to talk to the crib. the man could take less care of our complaining, which he answered with sarcastic comments and smoked his zigarette further. that was the worst brunch experience I ever had.

The experience was fantastic until the next day when I realized that she had got our bill wrong. While it was my fault not to check before I paid, they all commanded wrong and ended with an additional $50. Moreover, I didn't know that tipp was already included, so I paid an extra $100, and no one had the integrity to tell me that I must have missed the contained congratity. that seemed more than just a sight that feels like the waiter knew that we would have been drinking and the bill intentionally messed up to get more money out of us. that never happened to me and was the worst culinary experience I ever had.

We didn't sit down until one and half hours after our scheduled reservation. They felt bad, but we didn't receive any type of compensation for the huge inconvenience. In addition, their policy is you get to stay seated 2 hours, but because the party before us went over, they kicked us out prior to our scheduled time.

A group of 5 of us went to Paradou on a really hot Sunday morning for brunch. Because of the way the restaurant is set up, we were sitting in the courtyard with the sun shining directly on some of us. There didn't seem to be much air moving around, so it grew hot pretty fast. We asked to be moved to a shaded area, as the sun seemed to be just in our spot. The hostess wasn't very nice at all, and wouldn't allow us to move. There were 2 empty seats and we were just going to shift over as the seats were right next to us. When one of my friends started seeing black spots and was about to faint, one of the kind waiters (I didn't catch his name) was able to move us over. Just a side note that none of us were drinking anything except coffee and water. Anyway, besides that, the food was tasty and the atmosphere was a plus.

I loved it but my only complaint is that it got pretty hot on the rooftop! Wish they had one or two more fans going.
