点评:We booked tickets to see Big Big Sky on Friday 11/7 at 19:30 and a table for pre-show dinner at 18:00.
Our party was 4 adults, 3 in their 60’s and 1 who was a spritely 90 earlier this year.
Our subsequent enjoyment of the play was somewhat spoilt by the rude and anything but friendly way we were shown to our table for dinner.
We arrived at just before 6pm, explained that we’d booked a table and were shown to a table adjacent to the window that was bathed in sunshine. The restaurant was barely 20% full and we asked if we could sit at another vacant table that was also adjacent to the window but with no sunshine on it.
The blond waitress who was dealing with us told us that we couldn’t as ‘someone else had already booked it’ and when we reminded her that we’d also booked, she said that the other people had specifically asked for that table - there was no way of proving or disproving this but there was certainly no reserved sign on the table we’d asked about.
We were then ushered to another table that in all honesty was too small for 4 people. The waitress came back with 4 menus, slatted down knives and forks and then distanced herself from us!
The table we’d asked about but weren’t allowed to sit at remained empty until 19:10, when 4 people with drinks squeezed past us to sit there (because it was vacant) for 15 or so minutes before the show started.
Not good - we expected better and wouldn’t want anyone else going there to be treated in the same way
翻译:我们订了11月7日星期五晚上7点半去看《大天空》(Big Big Sky)的票,还订了晚上6点的演出前晚餐。
我们一行4位成人,其中3位60多岁,1位今年早些时候已经90多岁了,精神矍铄。
我们随后的观剧乐趣却被他们粗鲁无礼、毫不友好地领到晚餐桌的方式破坏了。
我们到达时快到下午6点,我们解释说我们已经订好了座位,然后被领到一张靠窗的桌子,阳光洒在桌子上。餐厅的客流量还不到20%,我们问能不能换到另一张也靠窗的空桌子,但那张桌子没有阳光。
接待我们的金发女服务员告诉我们不能坐,因为“别人已经预订了”。当我们提醒她我们也预订了时,她说其他人特意要了那张桌子——这一点无法证实或反驳,但我们询问的那张桌子上肯定没有“已预订”的标志。
然后我们被领到另一张桌子,说实话,那张桌子太小,坐不下四个人。女服务员拿着四份菜单回来了,把刀叉收好,然后就和我们保持距离了!
我们询问过但不允许坐的那张桌子一直空着,直到19:10,四个拿着饮料的人从我们身边挤过去,坐在那里(因为桌子空着)大约15分钟,然后演出就开始了。
不太好——我们期待更好的,也不想让其他人去那里受到同样的待遇
