点评:We visited Sky Park Farm today as a family of five for my mum’s birthday meal. We’ve been here many times before and usually really enjoy it, which honestly made this visit even more disappointing.
The bill was well over £200, so expectations were understandably high.
My brother and I ordered the rib-eye on the bone sharer and asked for medium rare. What arrived was closer to blue. Normally the fat on this cut is beautifully rendered here, but today it was thick, chewy and completely underdone, which made a large part of the steak unpleasant to eat.
We were also offered “cheesy fries” by the waitress, but it was never mentioned they came with parmesan and truffle. Neither of us likes truffle, and it completely overpowered the dish. Had that been explained properly when ordering, we would never have chosen them.
I did stop a waiter during the meal and explained there was an issue, but he said he’d be back in a minute and never returned. When the plates were finally collected, I mentioned it to the manager (tattoos, black and white Puma trainers). His response was essentially “why didn’t you say something earlier?” despite the fact we had tried to. When I said I assumed something would be taken off the bill, he replied that we had eaten some of it.
That response completely missed the point. If you spend over £200 at a restaurant you regularly support, you expect issues to be handled professionally, not defensively.
To finish, my dad and I ordered coffees, a macchiato and a latte, and both were poor. The milk was massively over-frothed, more like whipped foam than steamed milk, and the latte was served boiling hot.
Really disappointing experience from a place we normally rate highly. We’ll think twice before returning.
翻译:今天我们一家五口去天空公园农场餐厅庆祝我妈妈的生日。我们之前来过很多次,通常都很喜欢,所以这次的体验格外令人失望。
账单超过200英镑,所以我们的期望值自然很高。
我和哥哥点了一份带骨肋眼牛排,要求三分熟。结果端上来的是接近全熟的。通常来说,这里的肋眼牛排肥瘦相间,烹饪得恰到好处,但今天的肥肉又厚又硬,完全没熟透,导致牛排的大部分都难以下咽。
服务员还给我们推荐了“芝士薯条”,但事先并没有说明里面加了帕玛森芝士和松露。我们俩都不喜欢松露,而松露的味道完全盖过了其他食材。如果点餐时服务员能事先说明,我们肯定不会点这道菜。
用餐期间,我叫住了一位服务员,跟他说明了情况,但他只是说马上回来,之后就再也没出现过。餐盘终于被收走后,我跟经理(有纹身,穿着黑白相间的彪马运动鞋)提了一下。尽管我们之前已经尝试过了,他的回应基本上是“你为什么不早点说?”。我说我以为账单上会减免一些,他却说我们已经吃掉了一部分。
这种回应完全不得要领。如果你在一家经常光顾的餐厅消费超过200英镑,你期望的是餐厅能专业地处理问题,而不是百般辩解。
最后,我和爸爸点了咖啡,一杯玛奇朵和一杯拿铁,结果都很糟糕。牛奶打得太厚,与其说是热牛奶,不如说是奶油泡沫,而且拿铁端上来的时候还滚烫。
这家餐厅我们通常评价很高,但这次的体验却令人非常失望。以后我们会慎重考虑是否再来。
