BE CAREFUL OF PEDICABS!!

Fun and relaxing atmosphere. Food is good, but look at the menu first if you have a picky eater in your group. Great birthday cake and fun recognition if you are celebrating a birthday.
BE VERY CAREFUL about the pedicabs that await you as you get off the boat. Our pedicab drove us about 3 or 4 blocks and expected 50 euros. I gave him 20 and he backed down, but there was a time I thought he may have had a weapon. Just be careful or walk. Paris is beautiful and our walk was easy.

Make sure you have tickets
The reservation process was very smooth. But once there we thought we were going to be turned away. The ticket woman wanted to see tickets and I did not have an email with tickets. I had confirmation of payment but that wasn’t good enough. She was very rude. I should have made sure I had tickets. After a very stressful time, she finally asked my name, found it on some list and gave us tickets. Why she had not done that sooner I don’t know. Make sure you have tickets!
