点评:We booked a birthday family meal for 9 people in advance. When we arrived there was a large function in their main hall and the restaurant was set with small tables and then an area for us and another large party of around 20. We ordered drinks and these and our starters came quite quickly. After a further hour however we still hadn't had our food and the children in our party were getting hungry. We asked the waitress and she went into the kitchen to enquire. We were offered free drinks /desserts as compensation. After another brief wait the children's food came out. Another ten minutes or so later ours came out. The food itself was good and we all enjoyed it. There appeared to us to be tension between the waiting staff and the chefs.
Overall we had a positive experience and the waiting staff handled the situation well. However we know that the chefs were not happy as they had a large function and large restaurant bookings which they clearly did not have the capacity to cope with. Management must surely take a look at their organisation as if they cannot cope with restaurant bookings at the same time as a large function then please do not accept bookings. Thanks to the positive actions of the waiting staff we did enjoy our evening but if you can't provide the service please don't let people book.
翻译:我们提前预订了9个人的生日家庭餐。当我们到达时,他们的主厅正在举行大型活动,餐厅里摆着小桌子,然后是我们和另一个大约 20 人的大型聚会的区域。我们点了饮料,这些和我们的开胃菜很快就来了。然而又过了一个小时,我们仍然没有吃东西,我们一行人的孩子们都饿了。我们询问了女服务员,她走进厨房询问。我们获得了免费饮料/甜点作为补偿。又等了一会儿,孩子们的食物就出来了。又过了十分钟左右,我们的就出来了。食物本身很好,我们都很喜欢。在我们看来,服务员和厨师之间的关系似乎很紧张。
总的来说,我们有一个积极的经历,服务员很好地处理了这个情况。然而我们知道,厨师们并不高兴,因为他们的活动规模很大,餐厅预订量很大,他们显然没有能力应对。管理层一定要检查他们的组织,如果他们无法同时处理餐厅预订和大型活动,那么请不要接受预订。感谢服务员的积极行动,我们确实度过了愉快的夜晚,但如果您无法提供服务,请不要让人预订。
