What a shame. I loved this place and visited regularly. Then last night I went for dinner. I ordered escargots and the pot-au-feu. When the waitress was about to walk away, I asked for "une petite salade verte." She added that to my order.
Said salad arrived and was simply some lettuce chopped up in a bowl with some vinaigrette. It was fine. Until the bill came: the price of the salad was 10 euros!
I was flabbergasted. I asked the waitress and she said it was listed in the menu as Salade Verte de la Saison for 10 euros and that she assumed I knew the price. But I had not asked for the Salade Verted de las Saison. I asked for "une petite salada verte" - which should have been a small side salad costing 3 or 4 euros tops.
The escargots cost only 9 euros, by the way.
The waitress agreed the pricing was unfair but blamed the boss. And wouldn't budge on charging less. I felt cheated and will never return.
I should add that I speak French fluently. So my getting screwed was not a language problem. In fact, a couple of the other diners who overheard my conversation with the waitress made sympathetic noises etc.

We also have been every time for the last ten years; our favourite Paris restaurant - first class always and not touristy. Nice welcome but speaking French an advantage.
Go here for dinner every time we are in Paris - on the Left Bank but away from the tourist traps. Excellent food and atmosphere.
