James Corden has been expelled from a well-known restaurant in New York City after being criticized for acting "abusively" with waitstaff.

The well-known French restaurant's founder, Keith McNally, said on Monday in an Instagram post that the “Late Late Show” host is a “hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”

Corden went to Balthazar for brunch on October 9 with his wife, TV producer Julia Carey. Carey placed an order for a salad and egg yolk omelet.

“A few minutes after they received the food, James called their server, M. K. and told her there was a little bit of egg white mixed with the egg yolk,” McNally said. “M. K. informed the floor manager, G. The kitchen remade the dish but unfortunately sent it with home fries instead of salad.”

“That’s when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: ‘You can’t do your job! You can’t do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelette myself!’” he wrote.

McNally said the server was apologetic and brought the floor manager, G, over to the table. G returned the dish and after that, “everything was fine,” he said, adding that G also offered them champagne glasses to “smooth things out.”

“G said that Corden was pleasant to him but nasty to the server,” McNally wrote, adding that the server was “very shaken.”

In the Instagram post, McCally described a time when Corden discovered a hair in his dinner, but he didn't tell his waitress about it until after he had completed the entire meal. He then demanded that the server “get us another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all of our drinks so far. This way I write any nasty reviews (sic) on yelp or anything like that."
