点评:We're frequest visitors to Cadiz, and were looking forward to sampling Mare - having already visited and greatly enjoyed several other high-quality/tasting menu restaurants in the city and the wider province (including one where the chef had previously worked).
Having checked in to our hotel (which was excellent - Olom, just opposite the cathedral) and enjoyed a pre-dinner drink we walked to the restaurant for our 21:00 reservation - only to find the shutters down and the place closed. We tried to phone - no answer. We sent a WhatsApp message - 48 hours later, at the time of writing this review, no answer.
It seems we're not the first to have this experience, but it's the first time it's ever happened to us. There could have been a justifiable reason for having to close - but the restaurant is small, so it would not have taken much to have contacted us (and perhaps other disappointed guests) or to have put a notice on the shutter. As it was, we gave them the benefit of the doubt for 15 minutes, and then managed to get the last available table that evening at Contrasena, which we'd previously been to. They were professional and lovely - so we did have an enjoyable evening, despite Mare.
It would be good to hear from Mare, if they're minded to get in touch. We've never submitted a one-star review before, and we might not even have posted this 'warning' review if Mare had contacted us by now...
翻译:我们经常来加的斯,一直期待着品尝 Mare 餐厅——此前我们已经去过市内和周边其他几家高品质/特色菜餐厅(包括主厨之前工作过的一家),并且非常满意。
入住酒店(酒店很棒——奥洛姆,就在大教堂对面)并享用了餐前酒后,我们步行前往餐厅,预订了晚上 9 点的座位——却发现餐厅已经关门了。我们试着打电话——没人接。我们发了一条 WhatsApp 消息——48 小时后,也就是我写这篇评论的时候,仍然没有人接听。
看来我们不是第一次遇到这种情况,但这是我们第一次遇到。关门可能有正当理由——但餐厅规模很小,所以联系我们(或许还有其他失望的客人)或在关门处贴张通知应该不费吹灰之力。事实上,我们先给了他们15分钟的“善意”评价,然后设法在Contrasena餐厅订到了当晚最后一张空桌,我们之前也去过这家餐厅。他们很专业,也很热情——所以尽管有Mare的批评,我们还是度过了一个愉快的夜晚。
如果Mare愿意联系我们,希望能收到他们的回复。我们之前从未提交过一星评价,如果Mare现在就联系我们,我们可能就不会发这条“警告”评价了……
