Au Rest'a Terre, Ploumanac'h 06-2017

It was difficult choosing dinner this evening. We didn't want to bother driving anywhere, we'd eaten a lot of crepes and many of the other open places were on the expensive side. Le Mao was also closed (I wonder if the restaurants cycle between who closes when just to balance things out).

After an unexpectedly excellent experience at Le Mao (http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/le-mao-ploumanach-06-2017) I wondered if Au Rest'a Terre might do the same. The ratings online are quite average but the bar area looked nice. Instead we were seated in the more dining side (which is fine) where the sunset glared directly into my eyes. All that can be forgiven, but the service errors can't.

We ordered Moules Marinieres and the Pasta with prawns and salmon. I was excited when the food came out and it went to the table next to us. We were amused they ordered the exact same dish. After a few minutes the diner next to us got up and a waiter came and took it back to the kitchen. Then it came back out and was given to me. If it hadn't been touched/eaten I wouldn't mind - but it clearly had displayed prawns and a squeezed lemon discarded on the plate. I complained at being served used food and it was taken away by an unfriendly waiter (the bill he brought at the end said "director" so maybe he's the boss) without any explanation or apology. As soon as I complained he took it away - he knew exactly what was going on and upset he got caught.

We considered walking out but there wasn't much else open that day. And the mussels had arrived and looked fine.

Whilst waiting, two other waiters came and asked where the food was. Clearly they had no idea what happened. One even made a joke we didn't know where the plate was. They were overall nice unlike the other guy, so I didn't mind.

A new dish came out and the unfriendly director put it on the edge of the table next to me, not in front of my partner who ordered it. He stared at me with no words. Then after a stare-off he left without saying anything.

The pasta was housemade (good thing) but the pasta itself with the sauce had no flavour. I had to add mussel sauce to flavour it. The salmon was ok and the prawns tiny.

The mussels I got were obviously from the other table's order as it had cream in it. But not worth complaining about. The mussels were bigger than I ate in Perros Guirec and tasted ok to be fair. I had to ask multiple times to get bread, where the table next to me got several serves. Funnily enough it wasn't until that table had their meals cleared (including their bread basket) did we receive bread...

Go somewhere else with better food (eg. Le Mao is equally priced and much better). The "director" is an idiot and needs to learn customer service and food hygiene standards. He was also the one who served our dishes to the other table so noone else to blame.
