Well this restaurant was so terrible it caused me to start a blog. If that is not bad then I do not know what is. Have you ever walked into a room and gone, "I think I am in the right place, but, but, I can't possibly be can I?" It's a very confusing feeling.
I thought I was going to a restaurant, but apparently I had booked a night out in an empty room, with no companions to dine with and no staff to be seen.
When my dining companion for the evening (hubby) walked in, he accused me of taking us to the wrong place and thought possibly I had booked us in to some kind of wierd survivor style adventure night where you have to hunt, gather and cook your own food. I reassured him this was not true, it was just that.....that.... we were in a white tiled room, which had a lovely looking bar in one corner and some tables laid out here and there, but there was no cutlery or crockery on any of the tables and there was not a person in site.
I poked my head into the kitchen area....nada. I conferred with my husband, I thought it might attract someone if we just sat down. Surely? We sat. We waited. After ten minutes I sent my husband in to see if we could at least get a drink, why I did this I don't know, there were no staff anywhere, I already knew that, I was delirious by this stage and thought maybe I was in the twilight zone. Well I think you know the outcome, a child can do the mathematics of that equation. My husband looked stupid for a while wandering around this sterile empty, erm, room and then he came back out. "What should we do? Should we stay or what?" I looked at my smartphone (no-body has watched anymore ok) and realised this vortex we were in had kept us for almost 20 minutes.
I still refused to belive that you can have a restaurant with an open door, an nobody inside it. I started to think we were meant to bring our own food with us or something? I am not always quick to pick up on worthless causes, but it didnt take me another 5 minutes to say "Lets go somewhere else" It was really odd walking out the door, I kept expeecting someone to come out and say "Hey! Wait! we have just been hiding, SURPRISE!"
Nobody yelled surprise
We left
I now am forced to write this blog because of the outrage it has caused me. I have gone onto Trip Advisor (A great site, but they check your reviews to make sure they are publicly acceptable, so not for me always) to check out what other people thought. I was stunned that although our experience was unique in its stupidness, it was not unlike Coco Banana to give super awful service, rip people off and serve shite food. There is literally nothing they can do to make this better. i am pretty sure that if you open your restaurant doors, you should have the tables made up and staff ready to serve. Otherwise just GTFO of the industry, please.
