It wasn't our first visit and we previously had a good experience but unfortunately after today we wont be back and would not recommend this restaurant.
We had booked a table for two online and received a call advised us that we would be sitting at the Bar which we were happy with. Sadly as we arrived we were given a table with barstools by the toilet ,behind a partition which i can only imagine was put up to hide the toilets. As the restaurant was busy there was a frequent flow of people passing by using the restrooms, each passing with an apologetic smile. When we told the staff of our disappointment they were in agreement that the table should not be sold but management was of different opinion.
Working in hospitality myself I am aware of the struggles the industry is facing in the wake of covid and with ever rising costs. I appreciate that businesses have to be creative to maximise revenues and sacrifices have to be made … BUT it is an insult to me as a customer and a clear lack of respect if a business is clearly not thinking of the customer experience. Very short sighted and in my eyes a strategy that can only fail!
My wife booked us a table and she was sure she booked it without it being near a window, as she knew you would end up on one of the stools.
They originally put us on a table on the far side of the restaurant which we were happy with. Then another customer had come in and we were asked to move as they said we booked a seat near a window. We didn’t question it at the time as we don’t like to make a fuss.
They proceeded to move us to the entrance of the restaurant saying they made a mistake and this is our seat. Strange how on their computer it shows us on one side of the room first then we are moved to the complete opposite side.
We asked to be moved twice but were refused saying they were fully booked. Even though during our time there we saw two tables available with no one there.
The seat we were given was a total disrespect for any paying customer. We had two stools near the front door. When anyone came in to the restaurant they were stood by my shoulder waiting to be seated.
Not only that but you had to eat off a basic window sill. I mean basic because there was no over hang over your legs so we could sit properly to eat. We had to sit on an angle and twist your body to eat. Seriously who thinks eating off a window sill near the front door is a good idea?
I get you may be trying to make as much money off people as possible during covid times but they basically ignored the covid situation with us by seating us at the front door where people were brushing past us to get out of the front door. No social distancing there!
