France-Soir South Yarra Reviews from The Last Year
What a disappointment it was, we were stuck between 2
What a disappointment it was, we were stuck between 2 tables who clearly new each other, 6 on one and four on the other so they moved between the 2 with our table of four stuck in between them. They were obviously regulars as the staff were set on looking after them before anyone else. The place was horrendously noisy to the point we could hardly hear each other speak. The service was ordinary leaving far too much time to clear the table and to present the main course. We have been there before and didn't have the same amount of disappointment. The meals were ok but I would only rate the a 6/10 ,duck was rare and not edible for one on our table. We all agreed when we left Franc Soir that we would never return. As a group we have been to most of Melbournes best restaurants, I owned a successful restaurant some years ago so I think that I and we are more than equipped to provide this review. France Soir was extremely busy last night as I expect it is on every Saturday night Clearly the acoustics need to be addressed, solid timber parquetry flooring , walls and ceilings do nothing to address the issue of acoustics. There are so many excellent restaurants in Melbourne with many newcomers displaying great menus great presentation and excellent food. Sadly last night France Soir lost it for our group. No doubt it will continue to be listed as one of Melbournes best but not for me.
Not Rushing Back….
What to say about France Soir. I’ll start with the good, which is the food. The scallops with saffron sauce was creamy, rich and delicious. The veal chop with wild mushrooms and calvados was cooked to perfection. However there were a lot of things that let the night down. Seating was very cramped. It felt over-booked and over-crowded. Perhaps this explains the service. Side-dishes did not arrive until several of our party had already finished, one of the mains was the wrong order (but was never rectified), and wines were served in the wrong glasses. Some, or all of this, could have been chalked up to an off night but disappointingly, there was no attempt to address any of these things. Overall, the atmosphere is lively and fun and the food is good but one thing Melbourne is not short of, is fabulous places to eat so I’m not sure that the food on its own is enough to make me return.
Noisy and needs more staff
Unbelievably noisy and understaffed service. Food was good but it was so hard to get a drink. We asked for the red and it came after two of our party had finished their mains.
Amazing!!
Would love to come back here again. Absolutely amazing staff who obviously take pride in taking care of the customers. Beautiful food.
Another great lunch…
Another excellent lunch at France Soir.A place to see and be seen.First rate food including scallops with a dash of wasabi as starters and pork cutlets for main course.Always listen to the daily specials which has some very original dishes.A big plus that its BYO for lunches on a week day.Finally very attentive service.Regrettably there aren’t more restaurants like this.
Over-rated, Over-priced and past its use-by date
France Soir has been skating on its reputation for decades. I dont care about being placed at a table in between the toilet & the door to the kitchen; I can ignore the smug wait staff; I can forgive the ridiculous wine selection; but the food here is simply awful: A Pate en Croute that tasted of feet. A handful of gristle in a watery gruel they tried to pass off as Beef Bouguignon. We will never return. A much better bet is either the wonderful Entrecote in Greville St or L'Hotel Gitan in Commercial St. Both serve consistently excellent French fare - and are a lot friendlier to your wallet.
Tip or prepare for abuse
Food is great but the experience is spoiled by the wait staff, especially if you don't tip. Had the unfortunate experience of the worst of the waiters serving us. No assistance with the food descriptions, no assistance with the wine selection, no topping up of our glasses, nothing other than bringing us what we ordered. Despite this he created a scene when we didn't enter a tip when paying. More embarrassing for him than us as we returned the attitude in spades at which point he stormed off muttering in French. Spoiled what was a good meal and ensured we won't be back, especially with so many other French options in the area.
Over priced French Bistro
This is a typical French bistro. Food is good typical French rich sauce heavy in butter and cream. Service is good and has a good atmosphere however seating is very cramped. Found it overpriced for a French bistro meal. To top it off there was an automatic 10 per cent tip if you’re paying by card that is added to the transaction. I found this a little bit scurrilous as I was not given the choice.
An absolutely horrendous experience
Birthday dinner with my partner. Everything was good up until our mains. We arrived at the same time as a party of 4 sitting across from us (they had their entrees and mains and left before us while we were waiting for our mains). We ordered four entrees, two mains, two glasses of wine and a cocktail. We only had three entrees and one main. Our drinks arrived first as usual. The entrees were great, we had the special scallop dish with beurre blanc, oysters and escargot - all delicious. It was about 45 minutes of waiting for our mains before the waiter went to check on the kitchen. We knew it was a busy night and some delays may happen. We were okay with that. We waited another 15 mins to be served one of our mains - entrecote. My partner followed up with our second main and fourth entree. The waiter told us he didn't put through the second main because he thought we didn't want it. He also said our fourth entree is up on the bench waiting and can be served now.... one hour later. At this point we didn't want to wait any more and asked for the bill. As my partner was paying, another waiter came to clear our table. I was still eating. There was wine in my glass. He did not ask us if we were finished. He just came and cleared our table. This is what disappointed me the most. I rang the next day and spoke to a manager, told him what happened. In the conversation, he says "we have a rule if you ask for the bill, we clear the table." Even if that were the case, the waiter did not ask if I had finished my meal. It was just horrendous.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
How to delete listing?
Hi I uploaded a reservation but no one has taken it. I would like to delete the listing so that I don’t get charged the no show reservation fee. And also delete the listing how can I do that?
Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!
