  Luckily, the cook and the waiter are there to keep things running smoothly because the woman is not someone you can rely on, whether it's for a warm welcome, service, friendliness, or anything else even remotely related to the concept of a restaurant. We arrive, the waiter greets us and seats us. I immediately noticed a group of three people with rather boorish behavior, especially a woman who speaks loudly and acts like she owns the place. Working in that world, I immediately understood that she was the manager. And for good reason: at one point, she addressed the waiter (who was of foreign origin) in a manner reminiscent of cotton workers speaking to slaves, as pleasant as a prison door. She spoke to him loudly from a distance, cigarette in her mouth, phone to her ear, and a well-mixed spritz in hand. The waiter came back to take our aperitif order. We started ordering, and then the manager interrupted us, still standing at a distance and looking a bit tipsy, to clarify something about THEIR order. I told her we'd like to finish our order, and that's when I knew it was the manager because, after my initial reaction, she magically started acting like a real manager. But it was just an illusion... The rest of the meal went well; it was good, which surprised the "manager" since my father had said he liked it. When it was time to pay, we went inside, to a rather cramped space, and she decided to slightly push past my father to get through without even a word of apology or excuse me. She gave us the bill, tossed the card reader around, and said, "Good evening." Let's be clear, the waiter is very friendly and does a good job, but unfortunately, he's caught in the clutches of this haughty woman. The food was good, and the place isn't too bad, even if, in my opinion, it's nothing like a casual outdoor café. You can reply if you want, but I'm not interested in your response. If you have customers, it's simply because you're the only ones in the village with an establishment like this, and most likely thanks to the food, but certainly not thanks to you. Golden rule when you own a restaurant: You don't open a place to eat and drink for free. You don't drink before or during service. You don't speak loudly to employees from a distance in front of everyone. The only problem with this establishment is the manager, who clearly has never worked in customer service. When customers arrived around 7:30 pm, she told them they could go inside for lunch. Was she inexperienced or drunk? We'll never know.
