Let's start by the "best part" :
1- The waiters were very pushy for wine, ( we didn't order wine)
2- The waiters were not smiling
-3 the food was tasteless and in small portion
4- Very limited selection (3 or 4 appetizer and main dishes),
5- the location with several "adult bars" on the same street within 50 meters
6- the very close & small table
7- the desert took more than 30 minutes to arrive.
8- The manager pushed our stroller

We were not expecting something great as we were looking for any restaurant close to the Louvres but this is a little too much on the low side

1 pushy or polite
2 so you want happy smiling waiters, maybe on rollerskates to
3 surely either this is known, or you were chosen
4 i have been to that soccer boy's restaurant the one on all the tv shows. and has had lots of michelin*'s unbelievable wine push, fixed meal, with no choices. had to stand outdoors for 30 min in jan while the big kid yelled at the help.
5. i don't know of any "adult bars"near the Louvre, and i have searched for them. what's an adult bar?
8. did you park it where it was supposed to be?

re rice i have never eaten in a paris restaurant(or france, london, or italy) that offered discounts. sounds like a scary place to me.
