点评:We stayed in Dartmouth on a self catering. We visited Yarn for a late brunch. The place was virtually empty on a busy Saturday.
I am fussy so what I found would not upset many people.
First off at sitting down the table had not been wiped down in a while. Crumbs and coffee stains. I brushed the crumbs off with the menu. I also noticed sugar grains all over the bench seat next to me.
On ordering the staff asked us what we wanted to drink without bothering to walk from the till. I had coffee and my family had drinks and food.
On the arrival of my black coffee in a white mug on a chipped saucer I noticed coffee splashes on the rim of the cup and on the outside of the cup. This is where my intolerance kicks in. I told the server who indicated it was due to the process of making the coffee. As an avid coffee drinker I have never had this before. To be fair he did ask if I wanted a clean cup, but by this point I was ready to walk out. I only stayed as not to put family through one of my many restaurant walk outs.
To cap it all one of the staff went and sat outside and lit up a cigarette. The smell wafted in, but I managed to restrain myself and just sat there.
To be fair my daughter did say the food was very nice. My wife drank my coffee to save any further embarrassment.
As a comparison the cafe two doors down was full even with people outside.
翻译:我们在达特茅斯自助餐住宿。我们去了Yarn餐厅吃了一顿迟到的早午餐。在一个繁忙的周六,那里几乎空无一人。
我是个挑剔的人,所以我发现的这些情况应该不会让很多人感到不快。
首先,坐下的时候,桌子已经很久没擦了。到处都是面包屑和咖啡渍。我用菜单把面包屑掸掉。我还注意到旁边的长椅上到处都是糖粒。
点餐时,服务员没费心从收银台走开就问我们想喝什么。我点了咖啡,我的家人点了饮料和食物。
我的黑咖啡盛在一个白色马克杯里,放在一个有缺口的碟子上,我注意到杯口和杯壁上溅满了咖啡渍。我的咖啡不耐受就是从这时开始的。我告诉服务员,他说这是咖啡冲泡过程中造成的。作为一个咖啡的狂热爱好者,我以前从未遇到过这种情况。平心而论,他确实问过我是否需要一杯干净的咖啡,但此时我已经准备走了。我留下来只是为了不让家人经历我无数次离开餐厅的经历。
更糟糕的是,一位员工走到外面坐下,点燃了一支香烟。烟味飘了进来,但我克制住了自己,只是坐在那里。
平心而论,我女儿确实说食物很好吃。为了避免进一步尴尬,我妻子喝了我的咖啡。
相比之下,隔壁两家咖啡馆即使外面有人,也挤满了人。
