We were really looking forward to this restaurant visit for a long time, but unfortunately it turned out to be the most disappointing fine-dining experience we’ve had so far.
When ordering, my partner and I mentioned which dishes appealed to us most, but then trusted the waiter’s recommendation to take the menu for two. However, the menu didn’t include any of the classics/signature dishes—for example, dessert was polenta instead of tiramisu. It made us feel like we were being served whatever otherwise wouldn’t sell.
Since my girlfriend eats meat but I don’t, we also asked to mix vegetarian and meat dishes. Despite being told in advance that this wouldn’t be a problem, that didn’t happen. We pointed it out immediately, and the response was an apology to her “with the last sip from a bottle of wine”… even though neither of us had ordered alcohol (because we don’t drink). In the end, it felt like we’d been talked into an expensive “leftovers” meal.
Overall, the service felt rather curt, so we didn’t really feel welcome. The ending was unpleasant as well: we waited about an hour for the bill because the card reader wasn’t working that evening.
When a young couple loves good food and treats themselves to a restaurant like this for their anniversary, I find an experience like this especially disappointing.
