The outing comes after a five-star Paris restaurant hit back at Serena after she claimed she and her daughter were denied entry despite it being completely empty.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X to publicly complain about the treatment she received at The Peninsula Hotel on Monday, sharing her annoyance at the way her visit unfolded.
After posting a snapshot of the luxurious establishment along with her complaint, the restaurant responded just two hours later on X in response to the complaint.
“Dear Ms. Williams, Please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointment you experienced this evening,” the Peninsula team wrote.
‘Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully booked.
‘It has always been an honour for us to welcome you and it will always be an honour to welcome you back to The Peninsula Paris.’
Serena fans were quick to slam the hotel for turning away the tennis legend as one X user asked: “How can they deny someone entry when its Serena Williams… lol?”
“I’m glad you didn’t have to spend money there,” another fan noted.

Serena has been a regular sight at the Olympics since she took part in the opening ceremony.
“You’re better off not going there, the food is of poor quality. Unfortunately, I’ve had to pay for it quite a few times,” said another person.

“Wow,” Serena originally wrote. “@peninsulaparis I was denied access to the rooftop to eat at a restaurant empty of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.”
Serena also shared a snapshot of the hotel’s sign, so her followers could know which establishment she was talking about.
Williams has attended several Olympic events with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

She was also among several high-profile names who took part in the Games’ opening ceremony on July 26, as she shared a boat with Rafael Nadal, Carl Lewis and Nadia Comaneci.
Serena described the ceremony as “unforgettable.”
“I participated in an incredible opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics and I traveled by boat in the rain, and it was pouring! So much so that my eyelashes fell out,” she joked on X.
In addition to her Grand Slam victories, Serena has four Olympic gold medals to her name, including in both singles and doubles at London 2012.
