点评:Worst Dining Experience in Cape Town – Café Paradiso on Kloof
Café Paradiso may boast a lovely location and charming décor, but our experience on Friday, 22 November 2024, was nothing short of a disaster. This was supposed to be a celebratory first night out in Cape Town with friends, but instead, it turned into a frustrating ordeal.
Here’s what went wrong:
Service Issues: The staff was clearly untrained and lacked basic customer service skills. It took 30 minutes just to get a waiter to our table after being seated, and even then, communication was poor throughout the evening.
Understaffed for Their Clientele: The restaurant seemed overwhelmed, likely due to being understaffed. This resulted in extreme delays and errors.
Order Mishaps: After placing our food orders, it took an hour for the food to arrive – but only for four out of the five of us! The missing dishes were said to be "just two minutes away," yet they only arrived 30 minutes later – after the rest of us had finished eating.
Accountability: When we asked to speak to the manager, the waiter vanished without following through. The manager eventually came and admitted the waiter forgot to input all the orders at once. While she offered to waive the drinks bill as compensation, this gesture felt hollow. We didn’t come for free drinks; we came for a memorable evening with good food and service, neither of which were delivered.
In conclusion, this was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in Cape Town. Even in the busiest restaurants in the city, I’ve never encountered such delays, poor service, and lack of professionalism. It’s shocking that a restaurant in such a prime location could operate this way. Avoid Café Paradiso if you’re looking for an enjoyable evening out!
翻译:开普敦最糟糕的用餐体验——克鲁夫的 Café Paradiso
Café Paradiso 可能拥有优越的地理位置和迷人的装饰,但我们在 2024 年 11 月 22 日星期五的体验简直就是一场灾难。这本应是与朋友在开普敦度过的庆祝第一晚,但相反,它变成了一场令人沮丧的折磨。
出了什么问题:
服务问题:员工显然没有受过培训,缺乏基本的客户服务技能。我们入座后,花了 30 分钟才让服务员来到我们的餐桌旁,即便如此,整个晚上的沟通都很差。
人手不足:餐厅似乎不堪重负,可能是因为人手不足。这导致了严重的延误和错误。
订单失误:下订单后,食物花了一个小时才送到——但只有我们五个人中的四个人!据说丢失的菜“只需两分钟就能送到”,但 30 分钟后才送到——当时我们其他人都吃完了。
责任:当我们要求与经理谈话时,服务员消失了,没有跟进。经理最终来了,承认服务员忘记了一次性输入所有订单。虽然她提出免除饮料账单作为补偿,但这种姿态感觉很空洞。我们来这里不是为了免费饮料;我们来这里是为了一个难忘的夜晚,这里有美味的食物和服务,但都没有送来。
总之,这是我在开普敦最糟糕的用餐体验。即使是在城里最繁忙的餐厅,我也从未遇到过如此延误、糟糕的服务和缺乏专业精神的情况。一家位于如此优越位置的餐厅竟然以这种方式运营,真是令人震惊。如果您想度过一个愉快的夜晚,请避开 Café Paradiso!
