It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review as La Guérite was supposed to be the highlight of my visit to Cannes,however, my visit ended in being physically assaulted by a member of staff. We visited on the 15th September for a 3:30 reservation. Around 5:30pm, after having a decent time, we were ready to leave and asked a waitress (who I now know is named Andrea [pronounced with a French accent]) for our bill. It was taking a while, and we really wanted to move because pigeons were flocking to our area. We thought we would try to intercept the bill along the way and headed to the bar. Our bill was not ready so my friend reminded this same waitress as we weren’t sure if she had forgotten. The waitress - Andrea, very rudely raised her voice at my friend and said “my colleague will bring you the bill. Just wait for 2 minutes”. We were shocked to be spoken to in such a manner but just said “okay”. She walked away from my friend and rolled her eyes. I turned around to face the bar, and suddenly felt a HARD, POWERFUL and INTENTIONAL shove on my left. Which a second later was followed by a voice saying “sorry”. I looked to my left and realised it was Andrea. I was in complete shock and disbelief, I turned around to look at my friend to ask if she saw that, to make sure it wasn’t in my imagination. Another customer who I do not know said “did she just push you?!”. My friend also saw it. I immediately went to find the manager who introduced himself as Billy. He asked me which waitress it was, and when we approached Andrea, she denied it, claiming it was an accident. Billy was extremely apologetic, however I told him that sorry isn’t good enough because if I defended myself by pushing her back, I would have been escorted off the island. The push happened immediately after she shouted at my friend, and it is physically impossible to push someone that hard accidentally. Therefore, it was 100% done on purpose. There was more than enough space for her to get past me, and even if that were not the case, a simple “excuse me” would have sufficed but she wanted to hurt me. Billy offered us a free drink as compensation, but unfortunately, it still wasn’t good enough because how do you adequately compensate someone has just been assaulted?? On top of that, she went back to work like nothing happened. The customer who saw the incident went to Billy to tell him that she witnessed Andrea push me. He continued to apologise, but it was obvious that the apology was all I was going to get. My friend told him that we just want to pay our bill and leave. I was physically shaken up after the incident and brought to tears because I would never expect to visit an establishment like La Guérite and be assaulted by a waitress. It was such a helpless feeling knowing that nothing would be done. Maybe if I were famous, high profile or a high spender they would have taken the incident seriously. I hope La Guerite will take accountability after seeing this review, but the likelihood is that they will just defend their employee.
