点评:The location is picturesque and the menu looked good. We were told that we would get a table "momentarily" so we went to the bar and ordered two Iceberg beers. We were charged $28.75 Canadian. Later, I saw the advertised price on a sign by the entryway was 12.50 CDN each. Receipt did not mention any tax.
Worst of all, the bartender defaulted to the restaurant's USD exchange rate without giving us a choice (we always choose to pay in Canadian dollars because it is cheaper). The merchant charged a high "base rate plus 4.99%" when converting currency."
The receipt said "I have been offered a choice of payment currencies. This currency conversion service is offered by this merchant." But I was NOT given a choice.
I didn't get to see any bill or receipt until after I paid with my card.
Perhaps this business routinely rips off American credit card holders by automatically charging them a higher exchange rate than the credit card company.
We left after 40 minutes of waiting and still no table.
翻译:这家餐厅的环境如画,菜单看起来也不错。我们被告知“马上”就能有空桌,于是便前往吧台点了两杯Iceberg啤酒。最后我们被收取了28.75加元。后来我看到门口的告示牌上标明的售价为每杯12.50加元。收据上也没有提及任何税费。
最糟糕的是,调酒师直接按餐厅规定的美元汇率来计费,根本没有给我们选择的机会(我们向来都选择用加元付款,因为这样更便宜)。这家商家在货币兑换时收取了很高的费用,即“基础费率加4.99%”。
收据上写着:“我可以选择多种支付货币。此货币兑换服务由该商家提供。”但实际上我并没有任何选择权。
直到用信用卡付款之后,我才看到账单或收据。
或许这家商家经常通过自动向美国信用卡持卡人收取高于信用卡公司规定的汇率来赚取不当利益。等了40分钟还是没有空桌,我们就离开了。
