点评:Stopped in for dinner whilst staying in Tamworth. It's always inevitable you run into one rude country person who seems to smell a city person a mile off and decides they don't need to be polite simply because you're from out of town.
In Victoria, when you go into a pub or bistro they tell you whether there is table service or whether to order at the bar. It seems in NSW no matter how many bistros, clubs or pubs we visited, they absolutely will not give you any indication of whether to get yourself a table or wait for someone to seat you. My husband approached the bar man and politely asked "Do we just grab a table and then order up here..?" to which he snapped "yeah" with the most disgruntled attitude he could muster. There was only one table left so we took it and ordered. My husband also ordered some drinks and was unfortunately met with the same sassy attitude from the same barman again. We were disappointed, but so be it, he must've been having an off night. As we were eating our meals, a group of women came in and sat at one of the tables, at which point the Salty Barman comes over cheerily and says "Oh we have plenty of room upstairs, would you like to find a table up there?" and smiles them upstairs. So it was apparent that Salty Barman wasn't sour with everyone that night, just us, and he was actually capable of providing seating information to patrons.
The food was good and I can recommend for that reason. But the attitude of the barman was typical of a country pub owner who doesn't like seeing faces he doesn't recognise. Would choose another pub next time to spend our city dollars at.
翻译:住在塔姆沃思时停下来吃晚饭。你总是不可避免地会遇到一个粗鲁的乡下人,他似乎闻到了一英里外的城里人的味道,并决定他们不需要仅仅因为你来自外地就礼貌。
在维多利亚州,当你走进一家酒吧或小酒馆时,他们会告诉你是否有餐桌服务或是否在酒吧点餐。在新南威尔士州,无论我们参观了多少家小酒馆、俱乐部或酒吧,他们都绝对不会告诉你是要自己找位子还是等人给你坐。我丈夫走近酒吧服务员,礼貌地问道:“我们是不是只抢了一张桌子,然后在这里点菜……?”他以他能召集的最不满的态度厉声说“是”。只剩下一张桌子,所以我们拿走了它并订购了。我的丈夫也点了一些饮料,不幸的是再次遇到了来自同一个酒保的同样粗鲁的态度。我们很失望,但不管怎样,他一定是度过了一个不愉快的夜晚。在我们吃饭的时候,一群女人进来坐在其中一张桌子旁,这时 Salty Barman 兴高采烈地走过来说“哦,我们楼上有足够的空间,你想找一张桌子吗? ?”并在楼上对他们微笑。所以很明显,那天晚上 Salty Barman 并没有对每个人都不满,只有我们,他实际上有能力向顾客提供座位信息。
食物很好,因此我可以推荐。但酒保的态度是典型的乡村酒吧老板不喜欢看到他不认识的面孔的态度。下次会选择另一家酒吧来消费我们城市的钱。
