I just wanted to do a shout out for this Epcot restaurant. In case you haven't been there, Bistro de Paris is a small restaurant located upstairs from Les Chefs de France. It is an elegant dining space, admittedly pricey but very worth the money, particularly if you have a special occasion and enjoy French cuisine.
My partner and I had New Years Eve dinner there. The food was amazing (5 courses with wine pairings) and the service was fantastic. But the meal was bookended with two things that really impressed me...
We were seated next to and at the same time as a very nice straight couple about our age. At the beginning of the meal, the waiter brought Mr. and Mrs. McStraighty complementary glasses of champagne..."a special treat for our romantic couples this evening". A minute later, he appeared at our table with the same thing..."and we mean all our couples, yes?". Huge grin from my boyfriend who had begun to sulk, thinking we would be left out.
At the end of the meal, each couple got a little gift bag which included a red new years hat for him, a red and white new years tiara for her, noisemakers, and a little satchel of unbelievable French chocolates. When they brought ours, they had swapped out the tiara for a second hat so that we would each have one. Hooray.
Needless to say, we tipped large that night.
