"Maybe our problem was that the first thing we did upon being seated at Terrasses de Corton was to ask if our seating could be changed. We were eating outdoors, as were all the patrons of the restaurant, and we were given a table right next to the door back into the restaurant. Although there were a couple of other empty tables, we were told we could not move. Later those tables were filled. Then there was also the late order of my wife's dessert. She had initially decided she wasn't going to have dessert, and when I got a soufflé, she changed her mind. Her dessert order took 20 minutes or more. Let's just say that the service was somewhat less than attentive. Eventually we caught the eye of a trio of men who appeared to be regular customers. They smiled and shook their heads, seemingly aware that we were not getting much attention. I suppose if the food hadn't been any good we would've left at some point, but there were no problems with the food. I had the foie gras, which, although presented in a very stark fashion (unlike the photos on the website), was tasty enough. Our main courses of sole and Charolais beef were quite adequate, and the aforementioned desserts were excellent. Asking for multiple cheeses from the cheese board was a bit of a chore (I had the impression they would have been happy for me to have just one cheese), but the cheeses themselves were good, and I did get a smile when I asked for “le fromage le plus fort et votre préféré.” This is pretty simple place, and the purple and lime green chairs, although clean enough, looked like a mistake from the 1980’s."
