The food looks exquisite and from your descriptions it sounds wonderful, but I don't think I'd be able to enjoy it much under those circumstances.<br /><br />I've wanted to go to Jacques Reymond for years but now I just don't know. Especially when commenter Chanel11 had a similar experience, and I believe the fact that the staff "did not bat an eye" was very telling, obviously this is not an uncommon occurrence. <br /><br />If they apologized that would have changed things somewhat, but not even a single word of apology for anything! Do you know if it was actually Reymond himself that was doing the yelling?<br /><br />Do you think the staff knows that raised voices can be heard clearly in the dining room? In your position I might drop them an email. It's up to you how nice you want to be >:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-88793679261989376422010-09-04T12:31:50.592+10:002010-09-04T12:31:50.592+10:00wow. for such a fine establishment, they should be...wow. for such a fine establishment, they should be giving out bread by the bucketload! also to at least amuse diners while they wait so long for food! nonetheless, the dishes look great. i even chuckled a few times while reading your writing :pSaucy Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364038849721688320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332049563073700807.post-47734306993819786862010-08-31T20:50:02.611+10:002010-08-31T20:50:02.611+10:00Gosh, interesting experience!
