点评:We booked for a pre-theatre lunch on the Saturday of Sunderland Restaurant Week telling them that we wanted the deal only to be told by the restaurant manager that they weren't offering the deal that lunchtime even though it still stated on the the Sunderland Restaurant Week website that it was available at all lunchtimes.. His attitude was unapologetic and bordering on slightly aggressive. As we were time limited we opted to stay and dine off the main menu.
The choice wasn't particularly good and we all decided to have sandwiches. Two of us had to change our order because there was no pastrami. The food service was very slow and when it arrived it was very disappointing. The toasted cheese sandwiches were tiny and the beef sandwiches were served in a stale-ish burger bun with a tiny smear of horseradish sauced a few lettuce leaves. We were asked if we wanted any additional sauces and asked for some pickle which arrived halfway through eating the sandwich in a small dish - no mention was made that it would be an extra cost which we discovered when the bill came was 50p.
The waitresses were very nice and seemed a bit embarrassed about the whole situation but the restaurant manager was very offhand and even slightly aggressive.
Considering that this restaurant is in a prime location situated in a new arts centre and next to the theatre at the heart of the regeneration of Sunderland, it is a very poor advertisement for the city and we feel that we would have had a better value and experience at the local Wetherspoons.
翻译:我们预订了桑德兰餐厅周周六的剧院前午餐,告诉他们我们想要这个优惠,但餐厅经理却告诉我们,他们不会在午餐时间提供这个优惠,尽管桑德兰餐厅周网站上仍然声明该优惠在所有午餐时间都可用。他的态度毫无歉意,甚至有点咄咄逼人。由于时间有限,我们选择留下来并点主菜单上的菜。
菜品选择不是特别好,我们都决定点三明治。我们中的两个人不得不更改订单,因为没有熏牛肉。食物服务非常慢,送来时非常令人失望。烤奶酪三明治很小,牛肉三明治夹在有点不新鲜的汉堡面包里,上面抹着一点辣根酱和几片生菜叶。他们问我们是否需要额外的酱料,并要求我们加一些泡菜,吃三明治的时候,泡菜装在一个小盘子里端了上来——他们没有提到这需要额外付费,结账时我们才发现是 50 便士。
女服务员非常友好,似乎对整个情况有点尴尬,但餐厅经理非常随意,甚至有点咄咄逼人。
考虑到这家餐厅位于黄金地段,坐落在新艺术中心,毗邻桑德兰复兴中心的剧院,这对这座城市来说是一个非常糟糕的广告,我们觉得在当地的 Wetherspoons 餐厅会得到更好的价值和体验。
