La Cave du Parapluie

I heard amazing things about this place but was quite disappointed! Went with a friend for her birthday on a Friday night. We chose to do a menu caché so didn't know what we'd be getting. Surprisingly we weren't asked how many plates we wanted or how our hunger was going throughout the night. Overall the dishes were good but not out of this world. We both found it generally under-seasoned. We didn't get enough bread with the pâté- & the waiter never told us that they ran out of bread until we asked for more. They also ran out of tartare.
Sadly the service was the most disappointing part for us- we weren't checked on, we kept to the same glasses of alcohol all night, even though we had finished them earlier on. It didn't seem like the server cared much for our being there.
We noticed only 1 person prepping food- maybe they were understaffed?
But at the same time we could see the server making time & taking shots with people sitting at the bar.
We asked for the bill early because our dishes were taking too long but the server insisted the food was coming (the table next to us had the same frustrations).
By the end (almost 3hrs after we arrived) our table & our neighbors table were given digestive shots as an apology but it didn't feel like enough to excuse the lack of attention throughout the night.
A really odd & unexpected experience!
Having eaten at parapluie, I had high expectations but this just didn't cut it.
Hopefully it was a one off night… I would go back but I'd need a lot of convincing to.

La nourriture est excellente & à la hauteur du Parapluie. Le choix de vin aussi. Effectivement, ce n'est pas la même ambiance, il est quand même difficile de s'entendre. Le volume sonore de la musique y est quand même élevé, la musique québécoise m'a manqué (c'est un plus du Parapluie). Nous étions assises au bar, je ne sais pas si le vestiaire était plein à notre arrivée (19:15) mais ça aurait été apprécié on nous a mentionné les crochets sous le bar (j'ai un long caban(manteau). Oui, c'est vrai que c'est décontracté mais ce n'est pas une ambiance intimiste (j'avais peut-être des attentes).
