点评:Visited for an evening meal with a friend for an overdue catch up. Iv never been to Grappa before, the restaurant is big with a large seating capacity however I’m not quite sure of its identity. There was a lovely greeting when we arrived and were given a choice of tables to choose from.
Service was a little slow, it took our drinks a while to arrive but we didn’t mind as we were chatting away. Good choice of items to choose from on the menu and some GF items available which is good to see in Italian cuisine. Food service was generally slow, admittedly we did take a while ordering but our server ( a lady didn’t catch her name) she was fab and very patient. From being seated to starters arriving on the table it was an hour and 15mins; again not great but we were chatting away so to be honest didn’t really effect our personal experience but had the circumstances been different then it could pose more of an issue.
Can’t complain about the food, both our starters and mains were tasty and I found that portion sizes where quite large (we both ordered a pasta dish); my only niggle would be that my pasta dish was warm not hot.
We were asked if we required another drink once during our meal and we didn’t seem to be offered a dessert menu. The rose wine was delicious however the cocktail (spicy margarita) was very mediocre.
A gentleman (didn’t catch his name either sadly) came over and asked if required any more drinks. We declined and asked for the bill. The gentleman came back over with the bill and stated that if we were to write a 5* trip advisor review there and then we would each recieve a free shot each of either lemon cello or mini Guinness. We politely declined. Which leads me to wonder how genuine all of the 5* reviews are…..
2*’s marked down; one for the slow service and one for the attempted bribery into making a 5* review
翻译:和朋友一起去吃晚餐,聊了聊迟来的趣事。我以前没去过Grappa餐厅,餐厅很大,座位也很多,但我不太清楚它的特色。我们到达时,服务员热情地迎接我们,并让我们选择座位。
服务有点慢,我们的饮料等了好一会儿才上,但我们并不介意,因为我们一直在聊天。菜单上有很多不错的菜品可供选择,还有一些无麸质菜品,这在意大利菜中很常见。上菜速度总体来说比较慢,我们点菜确实花了点时间,但我们的服务员(一位女士,我没记住她的名字)很棒,也很有耐心。从入座到开胃菜上桌,一共花了一个小时15分钟;同样不算太好,但我们一直在聊天,所以说实话,这并没有真正影响我们的用餐体验,但如果情况不同,那可能会造成更大的问题。
食物没什么可抱怨的,开胃菜和主菜都很美味,而且份量也相当大(我们都点了一份意面);唯一的小瑕疵是我的意面是温的,而不是热的。
用餐期间,餐厅问我们是否需要再来点饮料,但似乎没有提供甜点菜单。玫瑰红酒很美味,但鸡尾酒(辣味玛格丽塔)却很平庸。
一位先生(可惜我也没记住他的名字)过来问我们是否需要再来点饮料。我们谢绝了,然后要了账单。这位先生拿着账单回来,说如果我们当场写一篇五星猫途鹰评论,每人将免费获得一杯柠檬塞洛或迷你吉尼斯黑啤。我们礼貌地拒绝了。这让我不禁怀疑,这些五星评论到底有多真实……
两星被扣分了;一个是因为服务太慢,另一个是因为试图贿赂他写五星评论
