点评:The service at the restaurant was absolutely appalling. We had an 8:45 pm reservation, yet by 9:30 pm, we had already eaten both our starters and mains. The entire experience felt rushed, impersonal, and unpleasant.
From the moment we arrived, things were off. No one offered to take our coats despite a visible coat rack, leaving us to awkwardly pile our good jackets on a shared bench seat. The seating itself was uncomfortable, forcing me to lean forward on the table since relaxing back was impossible. Even worse, the waiter began rattling off the specials while we were still taking off our coats. By the time we sat down, he had already left, leaving my partner to ask, “What were the specials?” I couldn’t even answer because I hadn’t had a chance to hear him properly.
Within seconds of sitting down, a waitress came to ask what wine we wanted, before we had even glanced at the menu. The starters were mediocre at best: my partner had scallops, and I had the pork bonbons. The mains were admittedly very good (fish for him, steak for me), but the service overshadowed any enjoyment. We had to ask three separate times for the wine we ordered before it finally arrived.
By dessert, we had had enough. The rushed pace, lack of care, and general discomfort made it impossible to enjoy the evening. We skipped dessert and left early, eager to put the entire experience behind us. This was easily one of the most unpleasant dining experiences we’ve ever had.
翻译:餐厅的服务简直糟透了。我们预订的是晚上 8:45 的座位,但到了晚上 9:30,我们已经吃完了开胃菜和主菜。整个体验让人感觉很匆忙、冷漠、不愉快。
从我们到达的那一刻起,事情就不对了。尽管有一个可见的衣帽架,但没有人主动帮我们拿外套,我们只能尴尬地把外套堆放在共用的长椅上。座位本身很不舒服,迫使我向前倾身靠在桌子上,因为无法放松。更糟糕的是,当我们还在脱外套的时候,服务员就开始滔滔不绝地讲特色菜。等我们坐下的时候,他已经走了,我的同伴问:“有什么特色菜?”我甚至无法回答,因为我没有机会好好听他说话。
坐下几秒钟后,一位女服务员就来问我们想要什么酒,而我们甚至还没看菜单。开胃菜最多只能算是平庸:我的同伴点了扇贝,我点了猪肉糖果。主菜确实很好吃(他点了鱼,我点了牛排),但服务掩盖了所有的乐趣。我们不得不三次要求我们点的酒才终于端上来。
到了甜点,我们已经受够了。匆忙的节奏、缺乏关怀和普遍的不适让我们无法享受这个夜晚。我们没有吃甜点,早早离开了,急于把整个经历抛在脑后。这无疑是我们经历过的最不愉快的用餐体验之一。
