点评:We ended up at McCafferty’s because Nancy’s Kitchen was closed on a Wednesday. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing.
We waited around 50 minutes for our food. I understand that the restaurant was busy, and perhaps they were understaffed, but I don’t feel that waiting 50 minutes for food is normal, even during busy hours. What was more frustrating was the lack of communication.
When I first asked the waitress about our order, she went inside and came back without giving us any update. When I asked if it was going to take much longer, I said we were happy to just pay for our starters and leave if necessary. Only then was I told that the food would be “a few more minutes.”
When the food finally arrived, it was nice enough, but nothing to rave about or particularly memorable. Had the service been better, I would probably have overlooked the wait.
When I was paying, the waitress asked how everything was. I was honest and said that the food was okay, but the long wait wasn’t pleasant. Her only response was “okay” – there was no apology or acknowledgment of our experience.
This was my personal experience, and I appreciate that busy days can happen. However, after the level of service I witnessed, I wouldn’t visit this place again.Good communication and a simple apology can make a big difference, and unfortunately, both were missing on this occasion.
翻译:我们最终选择了McCafferty’s,因为Nancy’s Kitchen在周三不营业。可惜的是,我们的体验相当令人失望。
我们等了大约50分钟才拿到食物。我明白当时餐厅很忙,也许人手不足,但即便在高峰时段,等上50分钟才上菜也实在不合常理。更让人沮丧的是餐厅完全缺乏沟通。
当我最初向女服务员询问点餐情况时……她进去后回来了,却没有给我们任何最新情况。当我询问是否还需要等很久时,我说如果有必要,我们愿意只付开胃菜的费用然后离开。直到那时我才被告知,食物还要“几分钟才能准备好”。
食物最终上桌时,味道还算不错,但实在算不上令人拍手叫绝或值得回味。倘若服务再好一些,我或许就能忽略这段等待时间了。
结账时,女服务员问我们一切是否都还满意。我坦诚地表示,食物还算可以,但漫长的等待实在让人不愉快。她唯一的回应就是“好吧”——既没有道歉,也丝毫没有对我们所经历的处境表示认可。
这只是我个人的体验,我也理解餐厅在忙碌时段可能会出现状况。不过,经历了那样的服务后,我不会再光顾这家店了。良好的沟通与简单的道歉其实能带来很大影响,可惜这次两者都欠缺了。
