Ordered a steak (500 g) medium-rare, and when I got it was visibly smaller than that, containing a big bone and a lot of fat and cooked almost blue. My friend ordered the same and when he got his I was fine. I noted the differences to the waiter nicely, and he told the kitchen. When he got back he told me they couldn’t do anything about it (it was almost inedible) Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

While strolling through Old Town Nice, we were drawn in by an amazing smell and noticed L'Escalinada nearby. It was dinner time, and our two young children were hungry, so my husband approached the waiter—despite the restaurant being nearly empty—and asked for a table. The waiter rudely said they were "completely booked." No problem—we asked to make a reservation for the next day at 7 PM for four people. He took our name, and we left expecting a great experience. When we arrived the next evening at 6:50 PM, we patiently waited as multiple other groups were seated ahead of us, despite us being first to arrive. The same waiter from the night before repeatedly ignored us. Finally, my husband approached him and said we had a reservation. The waiter responded, “Do you mean Angelique?” My husband said no and gave his name again. The waiter then asked, “Was it an online reservation?” and when we said no, he rolled his eyes, gestured to someone inside, and told them to "make us a table." We were led through the restaurant, up and down stairs, and seated next to the bathroom—basically in a storage room near the kitchen—despite at least a dozen open tables outside. The service from that point remained poor. The same rude waiter made a sarcastic remark when we didn’t order alcohol: “Let me guess, just tap water.” The food? Mediocre at best—maybe a 4/10. And the worst part? We spotted not one but two rats running across the pizza prep station in the kitchen—yes, actual rats. We have a photo to prove it. Completely unacceptable and absolutely disgusting. When we left and politely said thank you, the waiter just glared at us. Do yourself a favor and avoid L'Escalinada. Rude staff, filthy kitchen, subpar food, and an overall awful experience. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €30–40 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
